As far as religiosity goes, Barack Obama's South Carolina victory tonight cut across all lines; he won both among weekly churchgoers and those who seldom or never attend church. But Obama fared best among those who attend church most often. Looking at the exit polls, Obama won 64-percent of South Carolina Democrats who attend church more than once a week, compared to just 23-percent for Hillary Clinton. That's nearly a three-to-one advantage. Among those who never attend church, meanwhile, Obama won just 38-percent, compared to 31-percent for Clinton. Obama may have granted a lot of interviews to religious outlets like Beliefnet last week to combat those false rumors about him being Muslim, but it wound up doing a lot more than that, giving him a big advantage among faith voters.

Obama's dominance over Clinton in the SC voting shouldn't surprise anyone. Bill is doing for Hillary what John Kerry's wife did for him in the 2004 election. Has he really been out of politics so long he doesn't realize how much damage he's doing to Hillary's campaign with his childish rants and baseless attacks on Obama?
I feel Bill Clinton was making a calculated move to do a few things to the Obama campaign:
1. Cause confusion among the voters, as you are well aware the everyday media would prefer to write more about gossip than truth. Well this would be great for Hillary, because we the voters would no longer be focused on the truth. The truth being our desire to know: If you are elected President how will that benefit my family ?
2. Bill is a millionaire and I truly believe he is lost touch with the people of the United States who the majority are not rich. His point of view along with his wife many times will be those of the wealthy, not those of the majority, so this is the action we see from Bill attacking Obama. There is a lot of money at stake and those who are rich in our country can not afford for the US to take on any new directions. So he is not attacking Obama, he is attacking what Obama stands for (change)!
3. Final point, Hillary I feel would be a fine President if she had a different spouse. However, I truly don't like the ideal of former President Clinton's return to the White House (so many adverse character issues we should remember as Christians ) So I don't see any real change for America with the Clintons, so my vote is for Obama!
