when you look at this for 2008, if mit rom me is the nominee, or what have you seen so far in the primaries? >> this coalition has been stable. if we go back to 2004, 2006, look at 2010 midterms, these coalitions have been fairly stable. what we have is one way of thinking about obama's coalition is fairly diverse. he has the unaffiliated, people not affiliated with the religion institutions formally. he has nonchristian religions and then a block of ethnic christians. and on the other side, mccain has one group anchoring the republican coalition, and then we have the two swing groups in the middle. white catholics and white mainline prot stants. what is interesting, white catholics have been a democratic voting bloc but they have now moved over time to being a swing contingency. and now they have also moved into being kind of a swing contingency and has leaned republican in the last few elections. >> one more chart before we take -- move on to calls and tweets. >> sure. >> this is views of president obama's religious beliefs and this is a little confusing so we want to focus on this chart
