W. Va. Early Exits

Eye-catching points in the early exits.

Two in 10 whites said the race of the candidate was a factor in their vote, second only to Mississippi. And only a third of those voters said they’d support [Barack] Obama as the nominee against John McCain, fewer than in other primaries where the question has been asked.

AP:

Two in 10 voters said Obama shares the views of his fiery former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, “a lot” and three in 10 said Obama shares Wright’s views “somewhat.” Nearly a quarter said Obama shares Wright’s views “not much” and a quarter said the candidate doesn’t share his one-time preacher’s views at all.
