On to the polls

Clearly Kerry has entertained defections as the polls show a large percentage of Catholics will vote for Bush, a number higher than Democrats traditionally see. In addition, his remark about Mary Cheney was a disaster. It was seen as mean-spirited and politically motivated. Polls indicate 2/3 of Americans think it was an "inappropriate" remark. Kerry's problem as a flip flopper is displayed in this area as well. He revels on his Catholic faith yet disagrees with the church on major issues. Just as on most issues he is trying to have it both ways. It shows a lack of core convictions, a flaw that carries over into most of his rhetoric versus record problems with much of the electorate. There have been other defections, small in percentages but significant went viewed in the overall election scheme. Blacks are defecting due to gay marriage and Jews are defecting due to traditional values as well as a firm support of Israel. Faith, or lack of it, will figure in this election much more than most pundits (liberals mostly) understand.
