So Terrorism and the War Didn't Matter?

Based on some exit polling (that same reliable exit polling which predicted a Kerry landslide) the media is saying that gay marriage and other moral issues tipped the scales in favor of Bush.

That may be true. But don't doubt for a second that Bush had wide support in his voters for Iraq and the war on terror.

A lot of Democrats voted conservatively on the gay marriage issue. And then voted for Kerry. I would suspect Bush got a lot of votes from Democrats like Ed Koch. Liberals who voted based solely on Iraq and War on Terror.

Some Republicans probably voted for Kerry on the basis of stem-cell research (which isn't banned btw, just no government funding for new baby-tissue).

Also, the exit polling simply had "morals" as an option. That can mean a lot of things. A more scientific telephone-based poll would be welcomed.
