The exit polls indicate that Hillary has an edge, and even that edge is getting smaller, among under-educated whites. This doesn't mean that she doesn't have any support among other groups, including college educated voters, some of whome may be your collegues and friends, only that her supprt there is progressively diminishing and is significantly smaller than Obama's. Even in the group that was supposed to be her greatest strength, white women, she's now tied with Obama, and her support among independents is dismally low. There's no chance of taking this to a general election and getiing trounced, which is all I'm saying. I don't have anything in particular against under-educated white people except that they seem to be uncomfortable with non-white persidential candidates, and i don't see why I should accept a mentality that is basically racist, being white myself.
