Other Victories on Election Day

From Christianity Today weblog:

The evangelical turnout also contributed to a cascade of victories down the ballot for same-sex marriage bans and Republicans running for Congress. Of the 11 states voting on marriage definitions, 10 voted resoundingly to ban same-sex marriage and/or civil unions. The margin of victory wasn’t quite so large in Oregon, yet the measure prevailed. In the South, Republicans opposed to abortion and same-sex marriage gained Democratic Senate seats in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, and Florida. Another socially conservative Republican, John Thune, edged out Minority Leader Tom Daschle in South Dakota. And by a margin of 65-35, Florida voters approved a parental-notification requirement for minors seeking an abortion.

These victories on moral issues may be every bit as important as who got elected president yesterday. The TV news people (MSM) last night and this morning kept shaking their heads in disbelief while reporting exit polling data that indicated that the most important issue according to a plurality of voters was “moral values.” This result was especially true among Bush voters and in the middle and southern states. Maybe, just maybe, God will be gracious and cause the people of this nation to repent and turn from our wicked ways.
