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.

Well you’re wrong. I have every right to hate the Muslim kooks. They’ve done that to themselves. You are similar to what others call a “cafeteria catholic”. Good luck with that. But no matter, you’re in the minority, very much so. Keep thinking that Allah, Buddha, Mother Earth, etc. are all the same. No harm done.

I notice you are speaking from your viewpoint in Alabama, deep in the heart of Evangelical territory. Too bad you don’t respect others religions. I am pretty accepting of others life styles, if they don’t try to force theirs on me, that is why I can not stand radical Moslems.

Good day sir. Good luck with that idiotic “we’re all the same” mentality.

This guy also said of Jesus that He was tooooo smart to get into politics... Yeah, and smart people figured out that Huckabee was making a joke.

Last I saw, Catholics were Christians, and really important part of a winning Republican coalition. Right on.

Hey, I just don't like that you do not respect for anothers faith, and you call it a cult. I am not even Mormon. I was raised Southern Baptist, and am now Methodist. I have many friends of different faiths.

So what? There is a right and a wrong. What you like and don't like is of no consequence. Good day.

You are wrong on everything, first of all I am not a sir, I am a maam, and secondly, I know we are not all the same, and I respect that, in fact I embrace it.

Spoken by someone , who doesn't respect what I think, or what anyone else thinks. Guess you are comfortable in that little box you live in.

My Irish Catholic ancestors immigrated from Canada into Michigan. That was a very popular route for famine refugees, so I would expect well-established Catholic communities in the state. Niles was where my ancestors settled for awhile, then some descendants proceeded to the Midwest.

THE DECENCY TO SWEAT
Powerline has a great series on the evasive tactics of Huck. My favorite part:
More slippery candidates than Huckabee may have sought the Republican nomination in recent years, but none comes to mind. Indeed, to paraphrase Jackie Mason, even Nixon had the decency to sweat when he obfuscated.
Read their series, called Charm and Evasion, here, here, and here.
By the way — my friends revolted about being called “Huckachicks,” and we are hereby the “Romnerds.”

What does Jim Bakker has any thing to do with Huckabee.
Bakker is now renewed and married to a nice lady and both serving the Lord. THe same way you judge now you will judge when you stand in the presence of GOD.
It is a dangerous thing to judge a child of GOD.
The problem is that we Christian don’t pray for our Christian leaders. Even Samson fell for a harlot.

Some things aren't worthy of respect, lady. What if I believe that men inhabit the moon? Is that worthy of your respect? Of course not. It's absurd. And either God rewards us for faith in Jesus Christ by granting us eternal life or Allah rewards people who paint the walls of some cafe with their guts with dozens of virgins. There's no two ways about it. One of us is wrong, and it's them. And no, I don't respect them for their idiocy. In fact I'd like to see them dead.

You’re a childish fool. I don’t know what that idiot has to do with anything. Perhaps if he’d blown up a bus in Israel you’d respect his beliefs. Huh? Just go away.

Samson wasn't a Christian and Jim Bakker wasn't worthy of repect, he used money that people sent him in the name of Christ to build a huge air conditioned dog house on his property.

HUH? you make no sense, I don't want anyone blown up for their religious beliefs. I want Religious Freedom for all.
