Who's The Meanest Of Them All?

Here's another interesting tidbit from the MSNBC exit polls ...

Voters were asked if Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama unfairly attacked each other ...

HRC did attack unfairly
70% said yes
27% said no

Obama did attack unfairly
56% said yes
41% said no

Okay, so HRC appeared to more voters to be the aggressor in this week's feud between the candidates. BUT scratching the surface of those numbers shows that more voters abandoned HRC as a result.

Of the 70% who said Clinton unfairly attacked her rival, 55% voted for Obama, while 24% went for Clinton and 21% voted for John Edwards.

Those who thought Obama was behaving badly, however, stuck with him in greater numbers. Of the 56% who said that he attacked HRC unfairly, 41% voted for Obama, compared with 33% for Clinton and 25% for JRE.

So Clinton was more likely to pay the price for hitting her rival ...
