[lbo-talk] 22% Moral Values support as an artifact of a forced choice question

[Doug Henwood]

No, I think "moral values" is a proxy for the Christian right. Their 
share of the electorate is almost identical to the "white 
evangelical/born again" (23%), and they voted for Bush in almost 
identical proportions. The phrase itself may be a bit of a floating 
signifier, but it mainly attaches to the fundies.
