When I am feeling far outnumbered by the omnipresent Hillary haters I look at the AOL straw poll
This poll reminds me that there are many more Hillary supporters on line that are thinking clearly, unlike the bullies we find elsewhere.

Hillary wins all states 56% to 44% with 94,360 votes cast for Hillary.

Her lead in Pennsylvania is 60% to 40%
58% to 42% in Indiana
65% to 35% in Kentucky
54% to 46% in North Carolina
52% to 48% in Oregon
67% to 33% in West Virginia

1. Noticed that, too. I think it's less easy to manipulate and skew the AOL online polls.
Which is why I believe them to be closer to reality than almost all the others!

3. I heard something really interesting this morning... according to Pew,
92% (that's NINETY TWO percent!!) of internet users are aged 18-29. That means that we are reading posts from only 16% of voters.

4. lots of folks I talked to while phone-banking (esp. women)
were thrilled that she was running and eager to help out in the campaign. It was very exciting.

5. as of today, Clinton leads 63% to 37%
with 58,528 votes for Clinton, 34,489 for Obama on AOL's straw pole website.
I was going to vote for Obama until I read all the trash posts on DU about Hillary Clinton in past weeks. I'll vote for Clinton for many reasons, not the least of which is her stellar environmental voting record and I love that! I also like her health care plan as well.
I suspect many Clinton supporters are finding greener pastures to share their feelings, thoughts than here on DU these days.
I think we should gather up some courage to bring 'em back here! What do you say to that? :loveya:

8. Yes, we are posting in greener pastures, making the

occasional foray over here to see what the BObots are up to.

7. I live in WV and it's a lock for Hillary
Despite Jay Rockefeller stumping for Obama. I attribute that to Obama's shady and cozy relationship with the mining industry, something the MSM has completely ignored. Also, Obama's a snob and that won't go over well here.

Oregon will be a squeaker. I think she will win Indiana and Kentucky as well but lose NC.
