Who "the religious" prefer
The Pew Forum conducted a survey to find out which candidates certain religious groups prefer. They surveyed Republicans and Democrats separately, dividing the data by the parties’ key religious constituents.
Giuliani garnered more support from white Catholics and white mainline Protestants than from white evangelicals, but 23% of white evangelicals still named him their top choice. Thanks to Catholics, who preferred him over the other candidates two-to-one, 32% of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters supported Giuliani.
Fred Thompson got almost equal support from white evangelicals (24%), and John McCain got slightly less (19%). Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney (rated the most religious candidate in another Pew survey) divided the bulk of the remaining evangelical vote, with Huckabee scoring 10% and Romney pulling in 9%.

What is wrong with our churches today that the three candidates (Giuliani, Thompson, and McCain) that are "federally" pro-choice are the leading preference? Abortion is the largest genocide the world has ever seen and it is disguised in political correctness. It's a travesty to for Christians to support such candidates. I'm appalled.
Adam,
I think you are 100% correct. I wish that Christians would come out and put forward an independent evangelical Christian to run for President. Then everyone would see that evangelicals (i.e. REAL Christians) are no more than 2-3 percent of the population if that.
People like Pat Robertson know this and are staying with the establishment rather than with their principles.
