Elections

We worked hard.
Here in St. Joseph, Sam Graves won re-election to Congress over Kay Barnes and her $2.6 million.
Happily, we can report that McCain-Palin won in Missouri--by only 5,686 votes. The Obama ticket won our county... and the country. But we still have good Senators for the legislative battles come January. And we saw more Christians and Catholic bishops speaking out for the truth of abortion than in any other election cycle. Exit polls showed that Catholics voted on the "Economy" more than "Abortion." That's sad but points to the lack of catechesis for many decades.
Marriage amendments won in California, Arizona, and Florida. That's a positive trend.
