(CNN) — Mitt Romney's victory over John McCain can be credited to three factors, CNN exit polling indicates.
...snip...
Romney was also aided by winning a strong share of evangelical voters. As predicted, evangelical turnout was up this cycle — they constituted 38 percent of GOP primary voters. Mike Huckabee was banking on winning this bloc as overwhelmingly as he had in Iowa, but the exit polls indicate that he and Romney were essentially tied among those voters, with Romney getting the votes of 33 percent to Huckabee’s 31 percent. ...

My guess is that Northern Evangelicals are not quite the same as Evangelicals in the South and Southwest.
Whoa! What are the numbers?
better buy some holy underwear
and get your nose down facing to salt lake city
in prayer.
McCain 29; Huckabee 23 percent; Romney 13%.

McC 28 +1

Also interesting, “Uncommitted” beat Hillary in Washtenaw County. Looks like the establishment-progressive lib types rejected Hillary.
That would not be a good guess. As we used to say here in Ohio.. the Confederate States took Michigan with out firing a shot.
Even now on friday evenings the north south highways going are full of cars with Michigan license plates going South. And then on Sunday afternoons and evenings the same highways are full of Michigan cars going back up north.
When the South took Michigan, they brought their fundamentalist Baptist Churches with them.
On the other hand so much more is known about Huckabee than was known before.
Washtenaw County is the home of the U of M, so it doesn’t surprise me that Uncommitted won there. Walking that campus as a conservative can be an interesting experience. It was Moonbat Central, at least when I went there.
Once in power, a McCain will do what he wants, and I have zero confidence in his word. May it be taxes, abortion, or the boarder, he’s a bit to much of a political opportunist to be trusted. He’s a career politician, and that’s actually not a good thing.
In fact of the 6 polls done in the three days before Michigan votes, 3 of them had McCain winning, 2 had Romney winning by a small margin and just the Mitchell poll had Romney wining by 8 points.
The RCP average of all the polls had Romney winning by 1.5 points. All the polls but one were off.
Polls are not accurate. Mainly becuase they are unable to predict the turn out. There were 1.1 million voters in the Republican primary of 2000. There were only about half that many voters in the Republican primary this year.
No, it was somewhere over 900,000 voted republican this time. in 2000 it was only a republican primary so the dems were free to really mess with it. Mitt carried every group and subgroup except -1 point to McCain, i think on 60%.
Agreed, I live only a few miles north of AA and see the hate all the time. But why not Ingham County, state capital and home to MSU? That’s the mystifying part.
Looks like the Christians recognized the true Christian.
Interesting that Huckabee only got 8% of the non Evangelical vote.
