Correct- many of the independents also hold independent religious views. The right wing fundamentalists where I live really alienated a lot of people. If Romney's campaign focused on those people, instead of the zealots who speak god's word, he probably would have won. Instead, the moron spending the money and coming up with the campaign, moved more towards those people and away from electability. Enjoy the next four years, and prepare for another four, with Congress moving to the left, if you don't change.
