  • Thoughts Upon Retiring for the Evening

  • White evangelical / Born agains for Santorum

    I’ve been watching the Illinois exit poll results on the CNN crawl. It breaks down by gender, salary, and a category called “White evangelical/Born again.” 48% Santorum, 39% Romney. CNNs website says “Romney types are in the north around Chicago and its suburbs, where typically three-quarters of Republicans vote. Advantage Romney, except evangelical and Christian…
