2. Really? From people on the ground or the news?
I've prepared myself for a complete blowout. At least 50%.

3. I just saw an exit poll over at CNN
Edited on Tue May-13-08 06:06 PM by MissWaverly
I was net surfing. From the exit polls it looked like a split down the middle between men
and women. Women breaking for Hill and men for Obama. From growing up very close to the
West Virginia border, I really didn't think Hillary would get a large boost from the male
voters there, my best guess.

Here's the quote but don't bother going there becuz this is most of the info posted.

CNN) — The gender gap, a factor earlier on in the Democratic presidential race, seemed to disappear over the last few weeks. But the gap is certainly back in West Virginia.

In early exit polls, 55 percent of Hillary Clinton’s supporters are women, and 45 percent are men. How about Barack Obama’s voters?

Just about the reverse: 57 percent of Obama supporters were men, and 43 percent were women.
So it looks like the gender gap, long a feature of politics between Democrats and Republicans, has established itself in the Democratic primaries

5. Yes, you don't hear it on Tv
but it's what I have thought, I really believe another split vote is coming up.

6. Thank you. I did my part.
Voted for Obama. I also persuaded my Independent husband to vote on the Dem ticket ... for Obama, of course. :)
