The BarackStar! takes 90% of the african american vote (yet again). He also won with women,
but I am sure that is a function of his 90% support with african americans. but the knee slapper
of these as of yet not fully reduced exit poll numbers is that 98% of the supporters of The BarackStar!
think that he is more qualified to be commander in chief. I read someplace else that he creamed her
in voters under 30 years old, and hillary got the seniors again.

Of course. The church leaders are all for Barackath Obamath just because he's black, and the others are plain idiots who couldn't find their asses with both hands and a map.

I guess there's just not enough old folks to go around in Mississippi, is there?
Saw a McCain speech a couple months ago. Lots of grey, white, and blue hair in the audience.

I just realized that there are actually 7 pages of exit poll data at the link.
interesting:
Was Gender of Candidate Important to You
clinton 32% yes 46% no
obama 66% yes 52% no
why does that 66% catch my attention?

Well, as of 4:35 a.m. central time 3:35 a.m. mountain time, the results are that the Obamanation despite winning Mississippi, garnered 18 delegates, and Messalina Agrippina 12.
There's much said about that Messalina Agrippina needs to win 97% of the remaining delegates, but what's not said is that the Obamanation needs to win 75% of the remaining delegates.
Eighteen out of 30 is nowhere near 75%.
It's going to continue being a wild, raucous time, and so everybody sit back and enjoy the show.

I could say lots of disparaging things about the state I grew up in but I won't. Mostly because none of it would be a surprise.....

no one is going to have the requisite number of delegates when they get to their convention. at that point, a lot of things could happen. does the leader in delegates also lead in the popular vote? does the leader have the lead because he racked up a ton of delegates in those ridiculous caucuses in a bunch of red states that the democrats will never win in the general? personally, I think that hillary actually has a pretty strong argument in insisting that she has won in the big battleground states that the the dems will need in november.
but it will come down to the superdelegates. and unless I am misunderstanding the myriad rules governing the manner in which the superdelegates officially express their preference (which is entirely possible), I think it is pretty much up to a committee (I forget the name) to decide how the superdelegates convene to vote. so, I had this thought; what if they decide that the superdelegates vote en masse in a closed session by secret ballot? it would conceal the inevitable train wreck from the press and public scrutiny, and would give the superdelegates the cover they need to make an unpopular choice. and rest assured that for most of the superdelegates, any choice they make will be unpopular to 50% of their constituents.
it is ironic that the democrats, who have so tied themselves into knots with this ridiculously complicated process of proportionally distributing their delegates in order to appear to be more "democratic", are being forced into basically anointing one candidate or the other because their "democratic process" has completely failed them.

^Allow me a moment........... :-) Okay.
Yes, the Dems are always concerned about "equity" and "making things fair". Never realizing the concept of unintended consequences.

Indeed -- what is said by the BO folks is "Hillary will never get the 97%, so she should just quit" , giving The Obamanation victory by default. Its a good play too, because Clinton cant counter by saying "Im in it to stalemate" which is her goal at the moment.
