PJB has an interesting essay based on his read of a book on the '08 election ("How Barack Obama Won: A State by State Guide to the Historic 2008 Election"). One excerpt:
The second-most critical consideration of voters in choosing a president was "values." No less than 30 percent of the electorate said this was their primary consideration in voting for McCain or Obama.
Among values voters, fully 30 percent of the electorate, McCain won 65 percent to 32 percent, or by two to one.
What these numbers demonstrate is that liberals and neocons instructing the GOP to dump the social, moral and cultural issues are counseling Republicide. When African-Americans, who gave McCain 4 percent of their votes in California, gave Proposition 8, prohibiting gay marriage, 70 percent of their votes, why would the GOP give up one of its trump cards – not only in Middle America but among minorities?
Umnnnh, yah. Good questions.
