Sanders.. per CNN exit polls..

1. Because Sanders attracts more conservative voters than Clinton does

Clinton attracts more liberal voters.

[Peacetrain]

2. Apparently in W. Va. he sure is

I found that amazing

[Depaysement]

3. God forbid anyone

Recognizes when people vote their class, rare as it is.

Btw, peace and Hillary have a chilly relationship.

5. Say what?

4. You just can't peg W.VA except to say they voted for Hillary in 2008 to keep the black guy out.

Now those same folks want to be sure the woman doesn't get in. It ain't hard to figure out. They would not be voting for Bernie if he is the Dem candidate.

6. W.Va has not been very friendly to the President..

ever.. and the guns issue is as big in W.Va as it is in any place in the U.S... more than coal.. my guess is that it is guns..

10. Wow. That is totally made up. His approval ratings there are abysmal

[Peacetrain]

12. Say what?

[Baobab]

7. Unless you mean "neoliberal" Obama isnt a liberal. Neither is Hillary.

They are neoliberals on economic issues and neocons on military/war issues.


Neither is left of center on anything.

8. Hey I am just passing on the news..62% who want less liberal issues voted Sanders

[LonePirate]

9. Well, Manchin is a liberal by WV standards.

WV has become a Republican southern state but with demographics closer to those in Montana than Mississippi.

11. For those already weighing in on this, you need only look at his support in his home state

for what type of results to expect.

13. I don't think it's necessarily about more or less liberal.

People want someone who's not corrupt, hasn't used their position to pilfer hundreds of millions of dollars, and someone who can stick with a position for at least 6 months.
