WV Exits: Clinton Hits A Home Run
A demographic sweep for Hillary Clinton in WV:
-- Women went 71% to 27% for Clinton; men opted for Clinton, too, 59% to 37%;
-- Barack Obama lost each age group, including the 17-29 set, which he typically wins. Today, it went 57% to 41% for Clinton;
-- Obama lost each income group as well. Consistent with her performances to date, Clinton played stronger with lower income earners. The less-than-50K set went 69% to 28% for HRC. Those earning more than 50K also edged for HRC, 59% to 37%;
-- Non college voters (68%) opted for Clinton, 70% to 27%, while college educated voters (32%) went for HRC, 54% to 43%;
-- Interestingly, almost half (48%) of WV voters said change mattered most for them as they cast their ballots today. Among them, Obama won out, 53% to 45%. Clinton, however, trounced her rival among those voters who said that it mattered most that the candidate cares about them, has experience and can win in Nov;
-- Meanwhile, 88% of those who voted said the economic slowdown has affected them a great deal/somewhat;
-- 59% of voters noted that HRC attacked Obama more than Obama attacked her, while 48% said the reverse; and
-- The Rev. Jeremiah Wright fallout lingers; half of voters said today that Obama shares the views of his former pastor.

Clinton takes Indiana by a ‘razor’ and Obama wins North Carolina by a huge margin. Nevertheless, Kentucky, Montana and West Virginia are still to come.
The Democratic race for nomination is still very much alive – and most likely to be decided by superdelegates
If you’re tired of waiting around for those super delegates to make a decision already, go to LobbyDelegates.com and push them to support Clinton or Obama
If you haven't done so yet, please write a message to each of your state's superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com
Obama Supporters:
Sending a note to current Obama supporters lets them know it's appreciated, sending a note to current Clinton supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Obama, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Obama. It's that easy...
Clinton Supporters too …. !
It takes a moment, but what's a few minutes now worth to get Clinton in office?! Those are really worth !
