IT'S THE SECULARISM, SILLY:

Sorry, Dad, I'm Voting for Obama (Christopher Buckley, 10/10/08, The Daily Beast)

As for his intellect, well, he’s a Harvard man.... [...]

I’ve read Obama’s books, and they are first-rate. He is that rara avis, the politician who writes his own books. Imagine. He is also a lefty. I am not. I am a small-government conservative who clings tenaciously and old-fashionedly to the idea that one ought to have balanced budgets. On abortion, gay marriage, et al, I’m libertarian.

It can't help but make you queasy when the urban Right is either supportive of or dismissive of the pro-abortion positions of a Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, or Barack Obama.
