CNN's exit poll reporting among Clinton supporters say that 75% would be dissatisfied if Obama won, 23% would be satisfied, and, uh...2% not "neither," but "other."  What's "other"?

"I would be neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, but I would be hungry"?

Well, upon being asked "would you be satisfied or dissatisfied if Obama wins" they answer anything besides those two words (or things to indicate one or the other).  Examples of "other" comments:
"Who's Obama?"
"I hate all politicians"
"Neither"
"I don't know"
"I don't know where I am right now.  That LSD really started to kick in about an hour ago."

Which areas do you guys think that Edwards will perform the best?

I don't really expect massive differences, but I guess the east?

Paging Al!

If the patterns of elsewhere hold, then historically Democratic areas that aren't dominated by one industrial milieu or another. If. The word is if.

Exit poll

65.1-31.9 Clinton

Surprising[ish] gender gap.  Men 59-37 Clinton, women 71-27 Clinton

The college-educated is, as usual, hilarious.

Do females in West Virginia not vote? There's only 51% women, which is a big drop from every other primary.

Her win in West Virginia automatically gives her 6 statewide delegates to start.  She now has 1,703 delegates according to CNN estimates.

Ann Lewis looks like one of those scary substitute teachers you get in elementary school that looks like she'd beat you with a ruler any chance she got.

The sad part is that I am actually excited for results to start coming in, just because I really want to see if my prediction was right with counties.

Apparently Edwards won late breakers.

Of those who decided in the last three days:
Clinton: 60%
Obama: 32%

Edwardsmentum!

22% of whites who said race was "very important" = 84-13 Clinton

Gender bigotry apparently didn't show up on the exit poll.

Clinton only beat Obama by 7% among Catholics. What's the matter with West Virginian Catholics?

I am guessing Catholics in WV are actually more affluent than Protestants, and that they are probably also non-industrial workers, or non-Dems.

Or a really small sub-sample.
