Yup, Evangelicals Turned Out, And 42% of the Public Said Hurricane Sandy Was "Important" To Their Decision
The most important stuff digested by Allah. It's all important.
So, I never knew where this "Evangelicals didn't show up" meme came from. I seem to remember the same claim in 2008, when it was debunked.
Social cons often get pretty snippy about being scapegoated. I can see why. (But then, I do insist that no abortion even in cases of violent rape, even if it's Plan B at the hospital immediately following a reported rape, is a radioactively unpopular position which will not only never be implemented, it will also destroy anyone suggesting it as their policy preference, in anything other than a safely gerrymandered Republican seat in the heartland.)
Our "missing" 3 million voters might not be missing; they just might not have been tallied yet. (Elections are called with 3 million or more votes outstanding?)
It's possible Mitt won the national popular vote-- we'll have to see, when all the votes are counted. Not saying he did. Just saying we don't know yet.
As I mentioned in a comment in another thread, not only did we lose Hispanics 77-27, we lost Asians by pretty much the same margins. I don't know why this is, but I took my approximation of a first guess earlier.
