1. Looks like about Hillary (65) Barack (29)

when you combine the genders.

[Bicoastal]

2. I don't get it.

4. Racism + Poverty

It's the legacy of the civil war and it runs deep, deep, deep.

Of course, many of the voters believe that Hillary is the better candidate.

What they many won't admit though is that they would never vote for one of "them".

[Bicoastal]

6. No, I just didn't get the numbers they posted.

The win I understand just fine.

[writes3000]

7. LOL, I stand corrected.

Sorry about that. But you made me laugh.

[AZ Criminal JD]

13. Yes, If you vote for Hillary you are a racist.

[ruggerson]

14. I think you forgot the sarcasm tag

[AZ Criminal JD]

19. No tag needed.

Obama supporters have not been coy or subtle about this. They feel if you don't vote for the Leader you are a racist. The posts here are full of it.

15. That's not what I said...

But I absolutely said racism is a bigger part of the fabric of this state than most others.

Goes back to slavery and the outcome of the civil war.

I do not think all or most Clinton voters are inherently racist though.

Thanks.

16. Kentucky was a border state

not part of the confederacy.

[writes3000]

17. Yes but...

The legacy, the aftermath and the attitudes were right in their back yard.

Lynchings, Klan meetings, etc. Scary stuff.

18. West Virginia and Kentucky is the south without the blacks...

Obama did well in the other southern states because they have HUGE black populations. West Viriginia and Kentucky, although they have some blacks, don't have a lot. These are the racist, uninformed, uneducated types we have heard about our whole lives. This is racism at it's purist.

That's why you see these numbers how 2/3 won't vote for Obama here. The same wouldn't be true in other Hillary won states. The difference here is that these people would never vote for a black man --- period. Hillary is only benefiting from the anti-Obama vote. We've seen this phenomenon throughout Appalachia. Other states were offset by urban communities and/or large black populations. West Virigina and Kentucky don't have either.

We Obamaphiles just have to eat the big shit sandwich that is American racism.

20. + Bitter. Don't Forget Bitter

3. The SUSA poll is close to this

I think they had Senator Clinton at +32. Looks like it could be 35.

Congratulations Hillary! :party:

[ruggerson]

5. I would guess 35, so they're pretty close

[Aloha Spirit]

10. Hey, wasn't Edwards on the ballot again? I thought he was gonna get votes tonight...?

[goldcanyonaz]

11. he was.

[ruggerson]

12. Maybe they're listing him as uncommitted

remember, these are exit polls not results.

[blonndee]

21. Saw on CNN 65% consider selves "conservative"

[Brundle_Fly]

23. make no mistake

this state will go 20-30% to Mccain in the General.

thats the problem with poorly educated voters.... they vote against their interests.

22. Interesting Stat - the Edwards Endorsement

Very Important -- (18%) - 45% - 51%

45% of those who said the Edwards endorsement was VERY important - voted for Clinton. Go figure.
