Commentary

Democrat
Category by category, the more frequent the attendance, the more likely the vote for Obama, from 75 percent of the More-than-weeklies to 52 percent of the Nevers. Obama won Catholics 52 percent to 46 percent, white Catholics by a single point, 49 percent to 48 percent. He won Protestants 67 percent to 33 percent, splitting white Protestants with Clinton 50-50. Non-Judeo-Christians voted for Obama over Clinton by 71 percent to 29 percent and the Nones did the same by 61 percent to 38 percent. All but a religious sweep.

Republican
Huckabee won only the more-than-weekly attenders, constituting 24 percent of the voters, by the hefty margin of 59 percent to 37 percent. Likewise, he won evangelicals by 60 percent to 31 percent. But evangelicals constituted only 46 percent of the voters, and McCain won non-evangelicals by 63 percent to 25 percent. Catholics went for McCain 67 percent to 25 percent. Not enough evangelical oomph in Virginia to carry Huckabee over the top in a two-person race.
