Swing state Catholics

“Catholics, who have a presence on both national tickets for the first time, are second behind evangelical Protestants among the nation’s dominant religious groups. They fan out across demographics, composing a quarter of the adult population, according to the Census Bureau. Catholics don’t vote monolithically, but they could sway outcomes in several swing states.”

Romney appears to have conceded Pennsylvania and Michigan (for now)

“Mitt Romney's allies have pulled their advertising from Pennsylvania and Michigan while redoubling efforts in other battleground states. The move indicates that at least for now, efforts by outside groups to help Romney compete in more states have stalled.

There are no presidential campaign ads of any kind currently airing in Pennsylvania and Michigan, according to information provided by media trackers to The Associated Press. While the Romney campaign has spent almost no money on advertising in either state, conservative groups have spent $20 million on ads for him in Pennsylvania and have spent $8 million on ads in Michigan.”
