Now, of course we all know that serious Catholics cannot vote for Obama.  Catholic News Service has run a story on whether there really is a Catholic vote – that is, people who vote for a particular person because they (the voter) are Catholic.

“Politicians and media people love to think there is” a Catholic vote, said John Farina, an associate professor of religious studies at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. “And the political parties are always able to find people who will tell them there is a Catholic vote and this is how you get it.”

But that does not make it so, added Farina, who believes that “most Catholics base their votes on reasons other than their Catholicism” — because they are blue-collar or white-collar, Hispanic or not Hispanic, white or black, military veterans or not.

Worth reading the rest of the article. Simple fact is that neither choice is a good one, but at least one has it right on abortion (and with the right VP, he might have it right on economics too).  Let’s all write in Ronald Reagan in November.
