Back at Politico World HQ for a brief respite before heading onto Michigan I've been able to catch up a bit on some reading.
These maps, courtesy of the PolySigh blog, tell an interesting story.
It appears that Romney defeated Huck in the more heavily Catholic counties along the Mississippi River in eastern Iowa.
That Mitt was stronger in this part of the state and Huck better off in evangelical-heavy western Iowa was known even before the votes for cast. It wasn't just religion Romney had worked eastern Iowa hard and had a good base of support there.
But the correlation between Huck's losses and Catholic counties is so precise that it can't be completely ignored. Catholics in places like Dubuque, Iowa, are just as anti-abortion as Huck. But did they not go for his overt emphasis on faith?
Keep an eye on Macomb County, Mich., just outside of Detroit, next Tuesday and we'll know the answer.

Giuliani has the Catholic problem.
Same old mantra some of ya'll here insist on eh? 50 year old southern baptist here....fundamentalist-literalist-almost charismatic... yet no one i know of here thinks Catholics are not Christian...never heard that in my life .....wardaddy
Wardaddy, Id like to introduce you to Lily4Jesus.
" ... it is true Catholics are not Christians they are ROMAN Catholics. They know Christ like I know President Bush. I know about President Bush but I dont know him in a personal way. ............. 59 posted on 01/11/2008 8:43:28 PM PST by Lily4Jesus ( Jesus Saves)"
I think that's true and he's really out of his element when he talks about foreign policy - embarrassingly so. And I know which is more important when electing a president.
ROTFL! Good one!
Agree with you here. No problem at all.
I want to make sure that I correctly understand what you're saying. Are you saying that Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, perhaps the most important and profound political document in human history, was an ass? I have heard some ignorant things on FR, but this one takes the cake.
And off the record, I agree.
The passover is not complete until the lamb is consumed. Come, taste & see. Only then will your covenant with Christ be complete. Or... will you, too, go away?
<< Giuliani has the Catholic problem. >>
True. But Rudy knows the earth is >6000 years old. He hasn’t completely slipped away.
Sorry but I've already studied the Fair Tax and calculated that I'd save around $3000 in personal taxes. Even better, my consulting company would have around a 20% tax savings and I wouldn't have to play unreasonable accounting games with the IRS. I'll be able to compassionately give a lot more alms. Apparently the other candidates don't have the balls to do anything except dick around with the rates of the IRS code with all it's statist behavior controls and regulations.
We have a liberal Congress with but a few actual Conservatives. Congress makes the laws and it will be when the people elect a willing Congress that will change the tax collection system. What we have now are people staying up all hours of the night to assess where they can take another nickle, dime, and dollar from the income earners of this nation. Not even when President Reagan got a liberal Congress to agree to cut spending could he enforce that agreement.
Now how much money did God require of His children when He set up their government system under His law handed down to Moses?
Since I am from New Orleans originally, All I knew growing up was Catholics! We gave directions to our houses based on church parishes! Ah the innocence of youth... Here in Georgia, a lot of Baptists, now I am afraid to go outside!!!
Some Protestant preachers have been very anti-Catholic. A good example would be Bob Jones.
However, I don't like his liberal fiscal record.
