Commentary Democrat Republican I guess you saw last night the big voter turnout for Huckabee in GA – fueled by his non-stop appearances in white evangelical pulpits the last couple of months, appearances with Sonny Perdue, constant promotion by right-wing talk radio blabber Neal Boortz with WSB here in Atlanta with that “fair tax” baloney, etc. He was at a rally this weekend with the “GA Christian Alliance” (changed name after the national Christian Coalition kicked them out a couple of years ago because the GA bunch was too over the top for even them!) and that ding-bat Sadie Fields (an old Ralph Reed protégé who took over in GA after he came out of the lobbyist closet a few years back). And yes, my church was telling people to go vote for Huckabee this past Sunday, just like tons of others. Sonny Perdue is governor of the state; Sadie Fields, the capable leader of the religious right in Georgia. Huckabee won 43 percent of the evangelical vote, while McCain and Romney split the balance. He would not have been able to eke out a victory, however, without the 23 percent of the Catholic vote he managed to obtain. That was more than twice the size of the Catholic vote he got in South Carolina, and suggests that the campaign may have made a special outreach effort. (Huckabee does have prominent Catholic supporters in Arkansas.) McCain and Romney took roughly equal shares of both Catholics and Protestants (including “Other Christians”). Huck won decisively among those for whom “religious beliefs matter a great deal,” while Romney prevailed with the “somewhats” and “not muches.” For a plurality of those for whom religion mattered “not at all,” McCain was the man. |
