Chris Bowers on Identity Politics

What makes most voters vote the way they do? Over at MDD Chris Bowers says it's not the issues and strategies we political junkines obsess about. He focuses on religion, but I think that is just another statistical proxy for whatever it really is. So go read his article. Then go read Digby's riff on his article for elaboration.

Then you might do what I have been doing and look at the pretty maps by religious denomination to see what it tells you about America.

There has to be something useful in that process. I'm just not sure what it is.
