Lisa Graas is right. Maggie Gallagher can’t be bought.
And neither can conservatives or Santorum supporters.
This is what Maggie Gallagher wrote in the National Review:
Look, independents are independents and not Democrats or Republicans, because they don’t vote on the social issues. If they voted on abortion or gay marriage, they would be in one of those two parties.
Democrats are betting they can scare independents by painting Santorum as an extremist for being a faithful Catholic. I don’t think it’s going to work. The odds it works are less than that the Democrats will exploit anti-Mormon bigotry in the fall.
Spot-on. However, a lot of voters (almost one-fifth) do believe that Mormonism is a deal-breaker. We even have Republicans who vote accordingly.
You KNOW the Democrats will jump at the bit to use that against Mitt. They already have!
But – 25% of the electorate is Catholic. Good news for Rick Santorum, if people will consider religion as a factor in November.
