Operation Chaos In Full Effect

Hillary Wins Pennsylvania

Hey folks,

Well, it was really no surprise last night. Hillary won 55 to 45 over Obama. The exit polls are interesting though.

There were few surprises in Pennsylvania, according to the exit polls conducted by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International for television networks and The Associated Press. Clinton held about 65 percent of white women and about 55 percent of the key swing bloc of white men, a strong showing though slightly weaker than her Ohio showing.

Clinton has now won white men in 12 states and Obama has done the same in 10 states.

Obama did win more than nine in 10 black voters, continuing his unbroken support of African-Americans. And Clinton continued her trend of winning white women in all but a couple of contests. But other trends may prove disconcerting for Obama.

Obama won six in 10 voters age 29 and under. But Clinton split young white voters, as she did in Ohio. In early February, Obama heavily lost whites in Missouri but narrowly won the state with the help of 57 percent of the white youth vote.

Young Democrats made up only 12 percent of voters, however. In comparison, fully 22 percent were age 65 and older. Clinton won more than six in 10 senior voters while winning a majority of all voters 40 and older.

I checked this out, and they do NOT indicate the percentage of REPUBLICANS that have switched parties to vote, and whom they voted for. But just think about Rush's 22 million strong audience. Just like Ohio? The closest they come is this.

Clinton won about six in 10 of those who had decided in either the past three days or the past week whom they were going to support, again mimicking Ohio. One in four Pennsylvania Democrats decided their vote in the past week. Six in 10 voters said they chose their candidate more than a month ago, a higher proportion than usual and one more indication that many Pennsylvanian Democrats had their vote resolved early on in the race.

Or that they decided to listen to the Commander and Chief of Operation Chaos, Rush Limbaugh. {Smile} Should be interesting to see how many of these Democrats switch BACK to Republicans for the General Election.

This is another tell tale sign that Operation Chaos was in full effect. Either that, or these are so completely ignorant voters.

Fewer than one in 10 voters said electability mattered most, a trend that has long been true in the primary as Democrats focus less on pragmatism than on personal identity.

Why vote for someone you KNOW does not stand a chance at winning? Seriously. Why would that NOT matter to you?

160,752 switched their registration from Republican or Independent to Democrat in Pennsylvania. Why? Everyone predicted that it was to support Obama. Well, that did not happen. No folks, Hillary won. This will continue all the way up to the convention. Just like Rush wants it to.
