Catholic Voters Trending Blue

Bill Berkowitz has a post up at Media Transparency that should be of interest to Democrats seeking insights about winning Catholic votes. Noting that Dems reversed a trend of a quarter-century duration in winning over Catholic voters 55-45 percent in 2006, according to NEP data, Berkowitz reveals some of the inside history behind the "Catholic voter migration" (including the scandal involving the GOP's Catholic point man) and he discusses current strategies being deployed by both parties to secure Catholic support.
