11. And yet the "good" staunch Catholics around where I live will overwhelmingly vote for Romney.

They will pull out their default alibi and argue that Obama's pro-abortion and favors killing the unborn. And they will be encouraged to do so during at least one sermon before Election Day by our local church pastors. If Obama or any Democratic candidate went all over the place with their position on abortion the way Romney has, they would verbally crucify him/her.

And the Right to Life, basically an RW activist arm of the RCC, will put their flyers on windshields while churchgoers attend mass, listing their endorsed candidates for the upcoming election. It's typically a straight Republican ticket endorsement. Romney may not merit an "endorsement" from RTL, but somehow the organization will put out a carefully-worded statement telling you that you should vote for him. They did something similar with George Voinovich during his first run for Ohio governor.
