"Faith doesn't just influence me," Mike Huckabee told evangelicals last week. "It defines me." And then he lost in South Carolina to John McCain.

In Nevada, labor lined up for Barack Obama, then Clinton took the vote. And Latinos carved their own way over political and color lines.

These are big players, speaking for the first time in the weekend's big votes.

This hour, On Point: voices of Christian conservatism, labor and the Latino West, and their choices in campaign '08.
