Did Hillary Clinton attack unfairly?

April 22, 2008 |  4:44 pm

Amid early exit poll numbers for the Pennsylvania primary that bode well for Hillary Clinton -- more women voted than men in the Democratic contest; nearly half of all the party's voters were from families that earned less than $50,000 last year -- here's a number that could prove hurtful for her:

Fully 67% said she attacked Barack Obama unfairly.

On the flip side, 49% thought Obama unfairly attacked Clinton.

Even if she wins the Keystone State, having two-thirds of the voters believe she played dirty pool is a problem to her long-range White House hopes. And it is a finding that is of a piece with other recent poll results showing that her overall standing with voters has suffered as she battled to derail Obama.

The exit polls will be updated later to take into account those who cast ballots in the late afternoon and early evening.

Why is it that any article you read, hear or see, the Obamama's are blatting? It's too hard, too rough, not nice, mean!

Sorry, if I were a man, black or white, to let a little old white lady make me whine would be on the bottom of my reaction list.

He's a loser, he can't win. He may cry his way to the big times, but he's a loser.
