[mohc]

[thewiseguy]

1. I like that!

[Occam Bandage]

2. Nowhere near what she needed.

[gabeana]

3. I like that

man did he close the gap, if this number works out, still hoping for a win though

[meow mix]

4. she is going to lose in delegates after all?

lol

[mohc]

She lost all regions of the state except northeastern Ohio

This could be another case like Nevada where broad district support allows Obama to take more delegates even when losing state wide.

[moobu2]

5. Obama should concede and go back to his Resko mansion

[indimuse]

9. oh..

snap!

6. A lot more females are voting in OH, according to exit polls on CNN.

[democrattotheend]

7. Where did you get that?

Did you compute the male and female, or did they have a straight out number?

[Jawja]

8. I'm sitting here watching CNN and I haven't heard

them give an Ohio Exit Poll numbers for Clinton-Obama. Do you have link for it online?

[LisaL]

12. It's not on their website.

[mohc]

16. For all those wanting the link

18. Hunh??

:shrug:

[mohc]

24. What part are you confused about?

The numbers I gave were the totals. Take the male and female numbers and weight them based on their proportion to get overall exit results.

Obama: .52 * 41 + .45 * 59 = 47.9
Clinton: .47 * 41 + .54 * 59 = 51.1

10. These are via CNN.com people.

[LisaL]

14. I just looked. And it wasn't there.

[MadBadger]

20. ITS AN EXIT POLL

Just go to their exit poll and do the multiplication on women and men and you will see these results.

[LisaL]

17. I just looked and they had 0% reporting.

[MoonRiver]

11. Where did you get those numbers? CNN hasn't announced any Ohio projections.

Not on their website or t.v.

[MadBadger]

15. The OP said exit polls. This is what you get when you calculate the exit polls.

[usregimechange]

13. But look at their regional exist numbers, he is winning in all the populated areas.

[Sir Jeffrey]

19. That's about what I got from the data...

http://edition.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#OH

Let's see how the delegates split.

[Upton]

21. That would be just fine for Obama

she needs BIG wins to stay viable, single digits is not going to do it.

[Drunken Irishman]

22. Exit polling changes when the data comes in.

The exit polls had Clinton winning Missouri by about 5 points. She lost that state.

[mohc]

26. They reweigh them as results come in

And they have error just like any poll. With 1577 respondents the MoE should be close to 2.5%. Add in possible sampling error and this could easily shift.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

23. Ohio results probably won't be available till tomorrow

they aren't counting the ballots at the polling places in many of the counties,
including Cuyahoga.

They aren't using voting machines in those precincts, but are having voters mark
an optical scan ballot.

The SOS is having those counties pick up the ballots "mid day" to be hauled to the
county office to begin counting. Then there is the final pickup at the end of the day.

It is possible that these polling places will be shut down during the time of pick up.

It will be hairy.
