Barack Obama makes inroads with religious voters

64,519,950 people paid attention. While most love Obama and were happy to vote for him, some voted because they were terrified of McCain as President to be followed up by Sarah Palin, who didn't know what countries are part of the North American Free Trade Agreement (hint, there are only three in North America and we're one of them) or that Africa was a continent and not a nation among a lot of other things. The question is; How could 56,785,572 people be so stupid? That's how many votes McCain received and to think we owe most of those votes to the fine people over at FOX and the McCain campaign supporters lying online.

Well here goes yet another rumor some never got the message of. Obama is a Christian. They will just have to deal with it.

Barack Obama makes inroads with religious voters
Democrat does better with Catholics and white evangelicals than John Kerry in 2004

With his Christian faith playing a key part in his personal life and campaign, President-elect Barack Obama emerged victorious by winning the Catholic vote and making slight gains among white evangelicals.

Early exit polls found that Obama took 54 percent of the Catholic vote, while Republican John McCain captured 45 percent. That outcome was a reversal from the 2004 election, when George W. Bush won the Catholic vote with 52 percent compared to John Kerry's 46 percent.

Obama's win among Catholics came despite an aggressive push by some of the nation's bishops to encourage the faithful to make abortion their main issue. The abortion debate intensified when Catholic legal scholars Douglas Kmiec and Nicholas Cafardi announced their support of Obama, who supports keeping abortion legal, and urged Catholics to consider the full agenda of Catholic social teaching.

The we have this "hockey mom" trying to be one of the regular people pulling stunts that caused McCain's staff to say she was out of control, adding in that she wanted to give a
concession speech along with McCain until his staffer stopped her. Read the rest of this here. All in all the Good Lord found some mercy on this nation and opened up the eyes of most of us that McCain/Palin were not telling the truth and were not putting the country first. If they had, McCain would have never picked Palin and would have never sold out his principles to make the speeches and commercials he did.
