Obama, Clinton supporters both say Clinton attacking unfairly
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

CNN) — Even in a state Hillary Clinton appears to have won by 35 points, a majority of Kentucky voters say the New York senator attacked Barack Obama unfairly.

According to the exit polls, 54 percent of voters said Clinton launched unfair attacks on Obama, though that didn't seem to deter voters there from supporting Clinton — 55 percent of those who said Clinton attacked unfairly still voted for the New York senator.

Clinton faced a similar statistic in West Virginia last week. There she won by 41 points, but nearly 60 percent of voters said she made unfair attacks against the Illinois senator.

5. One of my favorite political signs ever, from the 2000 RNC: KY Loves Bush!
Well, apparently they love Hillary too. Go figure.

12. I see your point.
I was making a joke, probably in poor taste and clearly not 100% in alignment with reality. But I still chuckle when I think about "KY Loves Bush!"

10. If you look at the polls, almost same number said Obama
attacked HRC unfairly. They still voted for Clinton. Attacking
does not affect votes that much. For attacks to hurt they have
to be almost horrible.
