From CNN's exit polls:
MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE BUSH KERRY
Taxes (5%) 57% 43%
Education (4%) 26% 73%
Iraq (15%) 26% 73%
Terrorism (19%) 86% 14%
Economy/Jobs (20%) 18% 80%
Moral Values (22%) 80% 18%
Health Care (8%) 23% 77%
So, for the 20% who identified the Economy as the main issue, 80% of them voted for Kerry.
Terrorism and Moral Values went to Bush. Those were the top 3 issues identified.
As for liberals being close minded, I disagree. The liberals are "live and let live" socially. If you want to be part of the religious right, that's great. Nobody is going to force you to marry a gay person, get divorced, use birth control, get an abortion or stop praying wherever and whenever you want. The only thing the liberals ask is that the conservatives don't make their religious convictions law and force them on others.
