In Ohio, Democratic Church Vote Murky

Tuesday March 4, 2008

Categories: Hillary Clinton

hillary8.jpgHillary Clinton has won Ohio, basically a microcosm of the United States. She swept Protestant and Catholic voters there, while Obama won the unchurched and "other Christians." At the same time, exit polls showed that Obama won weekly and monthly churchgoers, while Clinton took less frequent churchgoers. This makes for a pretty muddy picture of how Ohio's religious Democrats voted. God-o-Meter suspects it reflects Obama's landslide among blacks, who tend to be frequent churchgoers, and Clinton's strength among white churchgoers.

I'm a little annoyed by the ratings that both Hillary and Barrack are getting. I feel that Hillary is not sincere enough to get above a 5, and Barrack is not doing anything that is truely religous in his campaign to merit above a 6.
