Moral values trump war as election issue

More evidence that John Kerry and the Democratic party did not get out the vote. NBC News asked voters exiting polling places what issue was most important to them:

22% Moral values
20% Economy
19% Terrorism
15% Iraq
08% Health care
05% Taxes


Another way to look at these numbers:

34% Terrorism and Iraq
25% Economy and Taxes
22% Moral Values
08% Health care

It's too bad that more people don't grasp the relationship between health care, economic issues, war, and morality. But at this time, the definition of morals seems limited to abortion and gays.
