the outcome of the election

Same for me. I would probably vote for the green candidate but mainly against Bush.

I think (because you also see that here, (NL)) that the religious right influence outcome ussually very much.  These people are often only interested in a candidate that is against abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage etc.

For example, the catholic church hasn't been nearly as forceful in previous elections as this one. This time they clearly sanctioned a republican vote in propigated literature and said that voting otherwise was unambigiously sinful. Some people have reportedly been denied sacraments over their political preferences. This despite the Pope's opposition to the war in Iraq.
