  1. First, how much faith can we really put in the exit polls? After all, they had Kerry with a decisive victory, which didn’t happen. They even had PA as a decisive Kerry victory by 18 points; however, PA is just as narrow as OH – 120k votes.
    Second, don’t confuse morals with religion. They’re not the same thing.
    Third, young people favored Kerry, but didn’t vote? According to whom? Perhaps younger voters don’t favor Kerry, but are evenly split like the rest of the country. With record voter turnout, it’s hardly accurate to say that young people didn’t vote. It’s more accurate to say that we had a record turnout across the board, the country is pretty evenly split, and in the end, the Republicans did a better job this time at getting the vote then they did last time.
    Personally, I’m surprised it wasn’t closer. I was expecting a closer race between Kerry and Bush. I’m surprised that Bush won buy as much as he has – over 4 million more votes in the popular vote.
