As the election process slows to a painful crawl and litigation raises its ugly head, we dissect the Catholic vote by polling the diocesan web sites in trying to find out what went wrong with the Catholic vote in the heavily Catholic areas of America

   In our editorial this week, on the Feast of Saint Leo the Great, the holy Pontiff who stood up to Attila and his barbaric legions promoting the culture of death in the fifth century, we are faced with a modern Attila who is just a few votes from becoming the 43rd President of the United States and shudder with the thought of what might happen if we don't pray all the more during this week of waiting for the final tally of votes. We join the millions of frustrated Americans who are getting fed up with the dirty tricks in the aftermath of the closest election in the history of the United States. Everyone has to be fed up with all the polls that truly exposed the secular media as the false prophets they are. We took a poll of our own, surveying all the archdiocesan and diocesan sites on the web and what we discovered may shock you. We equate the situation - one that might not be resolved for another week or longer - to sudden death overtime in a hotly contested football game. It's kill or be killed all-out smash 'em mentality as the legal gurus take over to muddle this year's election process. The stakes are high. Either we begin to kill the culture of death through prayer by eking out a narrow win in the electoral vote for the pro-life candidate George W. Bush or be killed as in millions of more innocent unborns and quite possibly many expendible seniors down the road if the pro-abort candidate Al Gore somehow sneaks in. The strategy for loyal Catholics remains the same game plan from the beginning: Pray! Pray! Pray! For our commentary, Only prayer will offset the trick plays the culture of death will attempt in sudden death! see CATHOLIC PewPOINT
