Edwards won the white vote

[ButterflyBlood]

According to the CNN exit poll. 38.8% to 37.1% for Clinton.

So it appears even whites are getting sick of Clinton's conduct over the last few days. Not surprised.

[sandnsea]

1. 52% of the under 30 white vote went Obama

That about says it all.

[onehandle]

2. Too bad voters under thirty stay home on election day.

American Idol is a strong pull.

[Buck Laser]

3. They won't stay home this year!

We'll be be looking at record turnouts in every election in 2008.

[onehandle]

9. They said that about 2004.

oops.

[ButterflyBlood]

11. So they're going to vote in the primary but not general?

Makes little sense.

[onehandle]

15. That's what happened in 2004.

Primaries were a surge in youth vote.

GE, not so much.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

17. I did not notice any youth surge in the 04 primaries. Got a link for that? nt

19. Actually, young voters did vote heavily in 2004.

Problem was, every other group also did the same.

4. I'm sorry I have no idea how you can say anybody gets more excite over a primary

than the General Election. In fact, now that they have been introduced to the voting machine, nothing will keep the away in Nov

18. Unfortunately, a lot of them do stay away on

election day. It has always happened. They start out excited and by election day they are bored or have moved on to other things. I hope not this year. The old geezers a lot of people are making fun of tend the be the most dependable voters come election day.

[ButterflyBlood]

21. Any actual stats that youth vote is higher in primaries than the GE?

Any links, anything?

[cali]

5. They haven't been this year, but have fun sucking those

sour grapes, honey.

[FrenchieCat]

6. That's what you think.

If Obama can get them out to a primary, the GE will be a breeze.

[ButterflyBlood]

8. Hmmm, they must've voted here to register in the poll

Oh and a big fuck you comes from this under 30 voter who doesn't give a shit about American Idol and doesn't know anyone who does. 14 year old girls are not eligible to vote so it's a moot point.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. I'm under 30, and I vote every time.

And American Idol sucks, anyway.

[aquart]

23. They didn't today.

[OzarkDem]

7. And they're lucky

that we older folks will protect them from making foolish choices.

[ButterflyBlood]

10. You mean like electing Bush?

Oh wait, that was the old folks. The under 30s voted Kerry.

Oh and another fuck you from this under 30 :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

20. Can we stop with this ageist bullshit already?

Not all young people are vapid, and not all old people are pillars of wisdom. :eyes:

[OzarkDem]

24. Just becaues a candidate is young

doesn't mean he will represent the interests of young people. Obama is no different than the young corporate honcho on the rise who steps on everyone as he climbs the ladder.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

25. I was referring to your first post where you claimed older voters "protect" younger ones.

Pretty condescending.

[OzarkDem]

26. We do

I have kids who are voting age. I understand how it is.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. Protect them from what?

It wasn't young voters who voted heavily for Bush.

[OzarkDem]

28. No, they didn't vote at all

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. Yes, they did.

The reason people thought they didn't was because every other demographic voted heavily as well.

[Omega3]

22. yes

but that's not the WHOLE white vote, he finished 3rd in the white vote OVERALL , wolf blizter, is that you?

[JDPriestly]

12. So far Edwards should get 8 delegates.

[robbedvoter]

13. "even the whites?"

:puke:

[ButterflyBlood]

14. Well OF COURSE blacks would get disgusted by Clinton lately

But even whites are too. Hardly a racial thing.

This white has been extremely disgusted by Clinton, but I was never going to vote for her anyway.

[NJSecularist]

29. It'll be interesting to see where that white vote goes in other states

since Edwards doesn't have much support beyond South Carolina and Oklahoma. Will it go to Obama or Clinton?
