Marlon: <<As a born again Christian yourself, I am surprised you would want to discount or be ashamed of the very successful contribution of the moral group.>> Dan: Marlon, Thanks for your reasoned response. I just wanted to clarify that my response is not because I'm ashamed of the contribution of my fellow believers or because I'm trying to discount their vote in this election. I just think that the "moral" vote is a little simplistic and that perhaps they are reaching a conclusion that is not really researched well enough. If Democrats were to go by this conclusion and adjust their strategy accordingly they would be basing their campaign on a false premise. As Peter pointed out: " The numbers of Christians who voted this year were not proportionately higher than those who voted in 2000 where moral issues were not even considered as a voting factor in the polls (if I remember right). Regards, Dan
