The UCC is the only one I'd be willing to say that Obama probably won. They have always been a liberal denomination, mainly in the Northeast and Midwest. Their predecessors were the Unitarians and Congregationalists - in an earlier era, these people were very liberal Republicans.
UMC is basically an evangelical/conservative denomination in much of the South. Regardless of what the national leadership does/says, if you go to a UMC church in a small town in Texas or Alabama, their views on religion as it relates to society and culture are pretty indistinguishable from evangelicals. Sure they may disagree with the Southern Baptists on how to serve communion or the exact explanation of Original Sin or something, but that's not influencing how people vote.
Plenty of politically conservative country club Republicans in the South. Think of people like Haley Barbour or Saxby Chambliss.
