When Hillaries 65%/30% win is all over the news?

1. And why are rural, uneducated whites more important in KY than the white voters/blue collar voters
who voted for Obama in Oregon?

2. Wow. She was SURE to come within four points in Oregon!
Someone posted a poll the other day that all but assured it!

I feel so mislead!

4. It was implied that KY would be a blowout for Hill, while Obama would squeak by in Oregon
What the hell? None of the articles I read had the oregon outcome stats. I had to search for them.

6. Oregon was the mail-in balloting
So I don't know how they do demographics and exit polls on those.

the m$$fm had "hilary closing in on Oregon" in a thread Tues night. And, someother thread that asked why Obama didn't win bigger in Oregon?!!

Do you have a link, please? Is this the final tally?

11. That's not a complete tally.
CNN has more total votes reported and claims it to be 94%.

19. So Obama made up about 100K of Hillary's KY 250K win.
So much for her "I've received more popular vote than any Democrat in history."

15. Wisonsin was my favorite state to phonebank. Those people were on top of the news, and they were
fired up to take back the White House!

18. Of course, with mail-in balloting, "closing in" late is too late.
But how DID the networks do their exit polls?

20. CNN did phone surveys in Oregon
Asking the same questions they would have asked in exit polling. It's not the same, because they're not interviewing people who have just voted, but people who only claim to have voted. But that's how they dealt with the mail-in balloting.

8. It was 58/41 according to Oregon SOS, but yes, WHY? >>>
Because her campaign is almost over.
Yet she continues.
Energizer-bunny-like.
It is a good story.

12. He actually did slightly better in Oregon than NC, and NC was considered a sizable victory
so why isn't Oregon getting that attention? Everybody knows that rural white, some bigoted (no two ways about it) blue collar voters in KY wouldn't vote for Obama.

16. Nice, looks like it widened. Votes are still coming in in Oregon.
And it looks like the biggest uncounted patch is in the county that includes Eugene, where Obama is winning 2-1. Although that could narrow if the city is already in and the suburbs are still reporting.

17. And I haven't seen the vote margin for OR.
How much did it cut back HRC's 250K edge from Kentucky?

21. Kick to the top so we can eventually
see what the final tally is in Oregon since the m$$$$fm aren't tellin'.
