Let's start on the easy stuff. The only two educational groups that are
consistantly Democratic are the people with no High School education
and the Post Graduates. High School Dropouts and College Professors.
The College Educated have consistantly supported the Republicans by a
large margin.

You seem to miss the point. 76 percent of the country claims membership
in some Christian religion.
If one includes the Catholics, at least 50 percent of these groups are
socially conservative, probably a higher percentage. To run on a
platform that emphasis certain social causes that don't coincide with
the values of these groups, then gripe because they voted their social
values is pointless and rather stupid.

If one looks at the issues that Voters considered important this
election, the two that were foremost in most of the voters minds was
national security and the economy. The voters, and I agree with them,
thought that Bush had a better plan than his opponent, who in reality
didn't come forward with much concrete on either count. While you may
feel that Gay marriage and Abortion rights are important issues, it
seems that the voters feel differently.

Only 49% of Congress is Democratic?
