Official West Virginia Democratic Primary Discussion Thread...

[Alcon]

West Virginia voters voting heavily on the economy?!?

Health care coming behind Iraq is a little surprising, but I imagine there's a lot of economy/health care crossover.

[Alcon]

Clinton voters 55-45 female
Obama voters 57-43 male

(helpfulllllllllllllll)

Edit: Atypically male electorate, isn't this?

[Alcon]

Anecdotal fun indicates OBAMASLIDE from the refuse-to-give-a-name electorate:

Obama voters in November:

Clinton 51%
McCain 31%
Would not vote 14%
Other 4%

Clinton voters:

Obama 36%
McCain 35%
Would not vote 24%
Others 5%

Ooouch.

[Alcon]

How would one deduce that?

Well, that would logically be about 54% female at most, no?  It's generally closer to 60%.

Yes, I see that now. There is no competing primary in a state without party registration no?

West Virginia has party registration, and there is a competing primary, although no one that is cared about.  WV is semi-open but that doesn't matter much since there are like three independents in the entire state.

Experience: 93-3 Clinton
Change: 53-45 Obama

Yeah, this is going to be annihilation.

[Alcon]

Very true.  In most states, it's mostly Republicans trying to muck with the results.  In West Virginia, it's oftentimes the Democrats themselves

[Alcon]

Commander in chief question is 68-29 Clinton.

That works out to Obama in the very low 30s, maybe just at 30%, by my estimates.

[Alcon]

Does Obama share Wright's views?

Yes 51%
No 47%

Has Clinton attacked Obama unfairly?

Yes 59%
No 38%

Has Obama attacked Obama unfairly?

- "Evenly divided"

[Alcon]

Is Edwards on the ballot?

Yussir

[Alcon]

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"?

[Alcon]

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!

[Alcon]

"I don't know where I am right now.  That LSD really started to kick in about an hour ago."

Come now, Vermont has already voted

[Alcon]

Called for Clinton...surprise of surprises.

[Alcon]

Exit poll

65.1-31.9 Clinton

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

[Alcon]

60% of West Virginians are college-educated?

hahah.

Shouldn't be. Never underestimate the feminazi vote.

Please stop talking

[Alcon]

Al, in advance for the rest of this evening, my sincerest apologies and thanks for being a good sport

[Alcon]

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

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

[Alcon]

Demographics are horrific.

Pretty much.

This isn't really an underperformance for Obama in West Virginia.  This was an inevitable clobbering that's being exacerbated by the news media's insatiable desire to manufacture electoral fluidity.

[Alcon]

1% in

Clinton 58%
Obama 34%

From Raleigh County

[Alcon]

Early Randolph County returns have Obama ahead...enjoy that while it lasts

[Alcon]

Hey guys, I don't mean to be a big jerk, but maybe you should move this discussion to a new thread...'cause this is kind of a fast-paced thread, and your posts might get buried.

Just an idea

[Alcon]

CNN just adjusted their exit poll for some reason

New number is 64.2-31.8
