Quote:I saw that study too. I think we need to analyze the study further. 26.3% was further broken down by traditionalist, centrist or modern. If we assume that the 12.6% traditionalists, with then only the conservative ones, 8.9%, (only 70% of them were Republicans) who we are thinking are being targeted by Mit Romney. If it was a ploy by Mit for votes, then I beleive he was targeting the traditionalists who are predominantly Republican also in non-evangelical, and Catholic faiths as well.
Is that the only distinction you're making here? That, despite the huge bloc of "traditional evangelical" that are so overwhelmingly republican (8.9% of 300 million people is a massive group for a primary), Mitt Romney is also targetting other conservative religious groups?
Well, yeah. Of course.
