Did the Majority of the U.S. Bishops Support the Democratic Ticket?

Anthony Stevens Arroyo made a statement that surprised me in the online version of the Washington Post yesterday http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/catholicamerica/2009/01/why_fear_foca.html. He said that most of the Bishops supported the Democratic ticket and the focus on FOCA was designed to demonstrate unity, was a “’bone’ thrown to the minority who still adhere to abortion as the single determinative issue for all Catholic voters, and might breathe life into the pro life movement which he said had suffered setbacks. I found the statement that most of the Bishops supported the Democratic ticket to be surprising.  I am curious whether those of you who are more aware than I of the politics of the Bishops agree or disagree.
