which values?
Liberal Christian leaders argued yesterday that the moral values held by most Americans are much broader than the handful of issues emphasized by religious conservatives in the 2004 presidential campaign.

Battling the notion that "values voters" swept President Bush to victory because of opposition to gay marriage and abortion, three liberal groups released a post-election poll in which 33 percent of voters said the nation's most urgent moral problem was "greed and materialism" and 31 percent said it was "poverty and economic justice." Sixteen percent cited abortion, and 12 percent named same-sex marriage.

I heard a thing on NPR this morning that essentially said that though the "values" thing was cited a lot in the exit polls, the same exit polls had pretty much the same stats on abortion rights as there've been for the last 20 or so years. Slightly more people are pro-choice than not.

I guess the question is "are they rabidly pro-choice to the point they'd show up at the polls to reflect their opinion on the matter?"
