As I said earlier, it'll be like 2004 when the issue was on the ballot to add an amendment to the Ohio Constitution defining marriage. The evangelicals turned out in much larger numbers than normal to vote for it and the vast majority of them voted for Bush while they were there. Those votes carried the state.

In my opinion, choice is going to be that single issue that, as you said, can and will sway a swing state one way or the other. It won't be the sole motivator for most voters but, it will be for enough of them to turn the election, I think, for Obama.


Based on that anecdote even if abortion were the deciding factor it would decide it in favor of McCain, not Obama.
