Many who were Republican crossed over due to the fact McCain and SP didn't represented the rest of the majority view points!
We as Christians may not like it, but the Founding Fathers of the United States set up the Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution for all walks of life!
Freedom to all, straight and the no so straight! This is a truth!
Obama reach out to all walks, even if he may have not agree with it ! The office of President of the United States, ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." For all walks of life!
This is People's Contract With America.

This show a complete lack of understanding of the political enviroment in America. One of the most liberal states voted yet a second time to ban gay marrige, the problem wasn't that MCcain was depending on the "religious-right" the problem is McCain wasn't a conservative. He did not exite the conservative base, many folks particularly in states that are historically democrat in their presidentail elections, either didn't vote or voted for a third party. Republicans think that conservatives are stupid and simple vote for them because they have an R beside their name. The reality is when the Republicans put up a conservative candidate its an overwhelming victory. e.g. Reagan in 1984 winning 49 out of 50 states.
The turnout for this election was the same as 4 years ago "A downturn in the number and percentage of Republican voters going to the polls seemed to be the primary explanation for the lower than predicted turnout,”
