No, because the Catholic vote is now so fragmented that I doubt it will transform into a bloc vote.
The USA is becoming more Catholic as a whole, especially with more Hispanic immigrants.
It makes complete sense for the GOP to embrace Catholic candidates if they want to survive for the next 50 years.
Democrats think they have a lock on Hispanic and Catholic voters, but that will go away.
Its pretty cool to think that Catholics have taken over from the Protestants as the most powerful religious group in the country.
That would be true if Hispanics as a bloc remain true to their Catholic heritage, but with so many (even in their countries-of-origin) turning toward evangelical Protestant sects as an alternative, I am not so sure.
