Obama seems to have made far more progress with Born Again Christians in rust belt states than in the South.
Based on preliminary exit polls:
Florida: 78%-20% (McCain-Obama)
Virginia: 78%-21%
Ohio: 70%-29%
Indiana: 66%-32%
What's more, Obama improved on Kerry's showing with evangelicals in the rust belt states. Kerry got 24% in Ohio; Obama seems to be getting 29%. In Indiana, Kerry got 22%. Obama got 32%

Sigh.
My question is: What on Earth is the Christian Worldview Argument for Obama? Every answer I've gotten to that question has been absolutely pathetic. There's no argument. Things like "he seems like a really good guy" and "he talks about his faith" and "we need a fresh face in the White House". Huh? Behind the blather, the reality is that we're Christians are choosing Obama because "it's history-making and will lead to a post-racial future" (history? yes. post-racial. i wish, but clearly that ain't happening.) and/or "I'm jealous of what others have and I think Obama will get me more of their stuff" and/or "he's just so bloody chic, darling, and everyone knows that the cool kids are voting for The One".
Great reasons to fast-track our Euromerican future!
What is the Christian argument for McCain -- a man who has never even been baptized?
sure obama won but at least he will cut the prices down.
