Back a little piece I blogged about the fact that Catholics are now a swing vote.
Not everybody buys this. Some pundits have argued that there simply "is no" Catholic vote (prescinding from the fact that some Catholics obviously do vote).
Ramesh Ponnuru provides some analysis supporting my contention: There is indeed a Catholic vote, and it swings.
In fact, Ponnuru provides data to suggest, it tends to determine the winner of the presidential election and leads rather than follows social trends.
Now we just gotta get it trained even better on the five non-negotiables.
GET THE STORY.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."
