Well, if you consider that they were educated at an evangelical Christian university--yes, it is a little odd. The stereotype would say that they should be voting solidly conservative, no? But they aren't for the most part.
Strange thing is, I do know one person who votes ONLY based on a candidate being pro-life (she voted Bush twice)--and while she is strongly religious, she attended a state university--not my school. Sometimes I think my little Christian uni did a pretty bang-up job of teaching us all how to think critically, precisely because they didn't want a heap of ass-hat Christians walking around with the university's name on their diploma.
Then again, the university itself is associated with the Discovery Institute (the main "thinktank" for "intelligent design")--something which I do hold against them.
Anyway... back to campaign $$.
