Hillary Clinton wins NH Catholic vote handily over Obama, 44% - 27%

Jay Cost of Real Clear Politics writes about Hillary Clinton's surprise win over Obama in the NH primary:

"[Hillary] won Catholics, 44% to [Obama's] 27%."

More from Ted Olsen at Christianity Today:

Roman Catholics (the largest religious group among New Hampshire Democrats, with 36% of voters in that primary), overwhelmingly chose Clinton (43%) over Obama (28%).

Meanwhile, across the aisle, the Concord Monitor reports:

Politico's Jonathan Martin reported that anti-Romney fliers were dropped on cars at St. Joseph's Cathedral in Manchester during Sunday Mass.

The flier gives a side-by-side comparison of Romney and McCain, and says, "John McCain is the best choice for Catholics in 2008!" It accuses Romney of having a mixed record on abortion, supporting taxpayer funding for abortion, supporting measures to force the Boy Scouts to allow gay Scout leaders and distancing himself from Ronald Reagan. It also says McCain has a better chance of winning the general election.

The flier said it was "prepared by a concerned citizen."

The McCain campaign denied having anything to do with the fliers.

update: exit-polling for the Republican primary (from CNN) reveals that McCain and Romney each received 38% of the vote from Catholic republicans. Guiliani had 8%, Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee tied with 7%.

I haven't yet been able to find out if more Catholics participated in the Democrat or Republican primary.
