I just read that Hillary lost the women's vote to Obama 35%-30%.
That stat has to have her reeling.
maybe so -- but it was expected. Call it the Oprah effect!
Essentially Hillary's only shot was to met mor of the aged population (65+) which is her core support. Obama's goal was to get the youger crowd out and he succeeded.
It has changed a bit but I worked on the '88 Campaign in Iowa and spent several cold miserable months knocking on doors, attending town hall meetings, etc.... Those were the days before Al Gore invented the information super highway, so no internet campaigning. Sadly my candidate lost (came in 3rd) and not too long after NH and SC he dropped out.
