Clinton's Edge Slips With Whites, Women

WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton's crushing losses in Maryland and Virginia highlight an erosion in what had been solid advantages among women, whites and older and working-class voters.

While this week's results can be explained by those states' relatively large numbers of blacks and well-educated residents — who tend to be Barack Obama supporters — her presidential campaign could be doomed if the trends continue.

Clinton is holding onto some of her supporters who are largely defined by race and often by level of education, such as low-income white workers and older white women, exit polls of voters show.

the real 64,000 question is, why didn't anyone understand that, and why haven't they changed tactics to account for it?

1) I received 2 robo-calls from Camp Hillary...both in Spanish. I find it horribly presumptuous of them to assume that I do not speak English. And I find calls from robots offensive.

2) Bill really should have butted out. I think that really hurt her campaign.

I voted for her; but I was truly torn about my decision. I very nearly changed my mind. I was glad I could still vote for an Edwards delegate in the convention.

he is as White as he is Black, no?

Clinton's problem is she is negative, while Obama is positive.

She will be continually fighting, he will be continually building.

Always take care of your base.
