Hillary Clinton won last night by putting together the voting coalition that has held Democratic frontrunners in good stead for 75 years. Take a look at these numbers - all of which come from CNN's cross-tabulated exit polls. What you'll see is that Hillary Clinton won many elements of the traditional FDR coalition.
-Self-identified Democrats made up 54% of the electorate. She won them, 45% to 34%. -She won voters without a college degree, 43% to 35%.
-She won voters with incomes less than $50,000, 47% to 32%.
-She won voters over the age of 65, 48% to 32%. She also won voters in their 40s (44% to 33%) and their 50s (39% to 30%).
-She won Catholics, 44% to 27%.
-She won urban voters, 43% to 35%. She won suburban voters, 42% to 31%.
-She won voters from union families, 40% to 31%.
-She won voters who said they have been "falling behind" economically, 43% to 33%.
-She won long-time voters, 38% to 33%.
Obama, on the other hand, had a very different electorate - one that has a bit in common with the insurgent candidacies of Gary Hart and Bill Bradley.
-He won Independents, 41% to 31%. -He won voters with at least a college degree, 39% to 34%.
-He won voters who make more than $50,000, 40% to 35%.
-He won college age voters, 60% to 22%. He split voters in their late 20s, 35% to 37%. He won voters in their 30s, 43% to 36%.
-He split Protestant voters, 36% to 36%.

Clinton won by mobilizing the traditional Democratic coalition that is demographically inclined to her. You don't just win elections by persuading people you're the best candidate. You win elections by getting those people out to the polls.

funny how every media outlet I have heard this morning used the term “comeback” - even including a clip from she herself using the same talking point.
lends credence to those who said that Iowa was part of her strategy of ‘come from behind’.
Carville and Bagala.
I'm really wondering how she's going to do in the south.
Over ten percent of all the people that voted in NH registered the same day they voted. They had a lot of nonresidents casting ballots.
Well,Iowa and NH are liberal states with cross party voting and thus no longer predictive of national opinion as a whole.IA and NH only give the MSM opportunities to give “credence” to their ideologically preferences and agendas.
So Hillary better keep that onion in her purse just in case she needs to cry another win.
And they have this all broken down within hours after the polls closed... I call BS on all this “all knowing” stuff.

That’s one big BEHIND!!
I am very curious to know if that is an actual picture that shows bus loads of people who intentionally illegally came to vote for her yesterday? Or was it just *a* picture of a lot of buses?
“-She won Catholics, 44% to 27%”
This, I simply cannot understand.
not surprised. where there’s aClinton, there’s fraud.
The outside influences, especially so close to NY and Mass are very suspect. I still have not seen the percentage of registered voters that cast a ballot. All this talk of running out of ballots and record turnout. I have not seen the pictures of huge throngs clamoring to vote either.
From the band wagon New York, I presume. I expected nothing less from the Clintonistas...
A change for NH.
Thanks EVER so much for that visual image.
Now I'll just go stab my eyes out to get rid of it...
NH is a gimmick vote state, now that the Mass-holes have taken over. The Mass-hole independents figured Obama was going to win, so calculated it was better to screw up the Republicans with their darling maverick instead of voting for Obama. Too cute by half.
Me either.
