A Note on the Presidential Primary Exit Polls

April 28, 2008 04:15 PM ET | Michael Barone | Permanent Link | Print

Here is an excellent post on the exit polls by the estimable Mark Blumenthal of pollster.com. This year the exit polls have been pretty close to the mark in the Republican primaries but have tended to overstate Barack Obama's support in the Democratic primaries.

Gov Richardson and MA Senators not worthy

few, if any, Africian American politicians remember latinos after they're elected. They court the Latino arguing an affinity between candidate and would be constituent but before long its " No Se Habla Espanol Aqui "

As for the Mass Senators, Kerry and Kennedy, they are as arrogant as Obama. Despite an overwhelmening turnout for Hilary, the two "Super " Delegates are supporting Obama instead of representing their Constituency. .... in effect disenfranchising them. What Arrogance.

What a cool company

On another hand tell me? my new website, ah? This is My service for the people who can not obtain merchant account to process credit cards online - http://www.yourmerchant.org?

Voting

The Latinos vote for the best candidate, not the best color candidate. Working people don't like smug, cocky, arrogant, phony candidates.
