1. I was told back in 2000
here in OH that exit polls weren't accurate, if I remember correctly.

2. I guess this means that people who are facing the reality
of the situation we are in (older folks, parents) vote Clinton, while the young people who are being financially
supported by the worried ones can afford the luxury of voting their idealism.

4. When you consider the unique situation where a candidate wins $$$ and aslo 80+ of AA voters...
Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 09:35 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
Since all the various income exit polls throughout this campaign have had the weird wrinkle of black voters going overwhelmingly for the upper-middle class candidate (aka wine candidate, PHD candidate), it suggests a remarkable class division in the white sub-set.

(That is to say, Obama gains a lot of low income voters who are not voting on class, so among non-AA voters the class gap must be huge)

5. what amazes me
is how people divorce the economy from the war!

The trillions spent over there thanks to -- GWB, HRC and others who approved this war-- mean there is nothing for domestic concerns. I realize it's not quite that simple yet on some level it is.

6. Thank you! Well said! Of course this is the point!
But many, many Americans simply don't want to admit that the MILLIONS UPON BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WASTED DAILY/MONTHLY/YEARLY IN IRAQ has any impact on our daily lives here in the U.S.

Welcome to the real world, guys! The money to pay for this war has to come from somewhere!

Guess what, we're all paying the tab!
