More than one in 10 Democratic voters were under age 30 and one in five were over age 65.

2. you forgot this part of the link

UPDATE: My colleague, Avi Zenilman, suggests this is the tea leaf: "Overall, Obama led among men and Clinton led among women, although her advantage among women appeared smaller than was seen in early primary states."

in previous primaries

Your attempt at spin is failing miserably here.

They don't care what the weather is, what's on teevee, whether they have to walk or not...they vote.

12. Yep- in part because they grew up in a time where civics was taught

in high school, and people took their responsibilities more seriously.
