Chris Matthews, Norah O'Donnell, Chuck Todd and Howard Fineman just now on Hardball all agreed wiht each other that the difference between the states where Bush's approval is rock bottom and the states where "they love this guy" is -- wait for it -- that the states that don't like him much "don't like religion."

Really. They really said that. People in New York, Vermont, Massachusetts (Massachusetts!), etc., "don't like religion."
