Hillary's Base: Poorly-educated, Low-income, Elderly Female, Overwhelmingly Caucasian and Dwindling



Clinton's Edge Slips With Whites, Women

WASHINGTON (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton's crushing losses in Maryland and Virginia highlight an erosion in what had been solid advantages among women, whites and older and working-class voters. While this week's results can be explained by those states' relatively large numbers of blacks and well-educated residents - who tend to be Barack Obama supporters - her presidential campaign could be doomed if the trends continue.

Clinton is holding onto some of her supporters who are largely defined by race and often by level of education, such as low-income white workers and older white women, exit polls of voters show. She's been losing other blocs, again stamped by personal characteristics, such as blacks, men and young people both black and white, and better-educated whites.

The racial and gender breakdown of this political season's Democrat voter does not favor Hillary at all. She is losing votes wherever she goes. Only the Whitest of the White seem to be a reliable voting bloc for the NY senator.

Her flight to Texas in order to pander, I mean shore up the Hispanic vote while the Potomac primaries were still underway were a clear sign of the panic that has taken over Hillary's crumbling campaign.
