I agree that there were probably a lot of people who voted for Bush because he was "more devout" and little else. Probably not enough to swing the election, but I still agree with you that that does not make a sufficient reason to vote for somebody.

Then again, if a person can justify to themselves that the basis they are using to vote for someone is sufficient, I don't suppose I can really tell them they're wrong. For example, Bush's pro-life stance was enough to keep me from ever deciding between the two, despite a number of areas where I thought Kerry was stronger. Now, Bolt will tell you that Abortion is not a big enough issue on which to decide my vote, but I obviously disagree. So me saying to these people that their means of selecting a candidate is insufficient or improper would probably not be taken well by them.
