Some election debrief

Beliefnet editor Steven Waldman shares some interesting ‘factoids’ such as the following:

• Turnout was up more among Born Again Christians than among youths….
• In Colorado, the base of James Dobson’s Focus on the Family, the percentage of evangelicals supporting the Democrat doubled since 2004.

Thabiti Anyabile offers some keen insights at Justin Taylor’s blog:

“There will no doubt be many associations made between [Obama's] skin color, assumptions about his race, and a host of successes or failures during his presidency. But let us Christians avoid such errors. Let us avoid saddling this one man with the responsibility of representing a “race” of people, or saddling the people with this one man’s failures or achievements.”

And Taylor Marshall blames Obama’s win on American Catholics.
