Barack Rocks the Catholic Vote in VA. (Voting extended in MD to 9:30)

Just couldn't resist shouting that Catholic thing.

Obama took 50% of the Catholic vote to Clinton's 49. Not a big margin, but its a margin and NOT a loss. INROADS? Oh yeah.

4. That's great news for Wisconsin, since they have a big Catholic population.
That has been a demographic where Clinton has been winning heavily. Of course, the more people hear Obama, the less they vote for Hillary.

6. Also, at least the Catholics I know.. tend to be more liberal and much more pacifist. My fellow
parishoners LOVE Barack Obama :-)
