10. I'm old... so I'm allowed.
And I was just reporting the demographics.

Hillary does better with older voters (why is that so hard to understand).

Barack does better with younger voters (again, why is that so hard to understand).

Edwards has his demographics that he appeals to as well.

I'm sure that each has a certain cross section appeal. I, for example, am older and a Obama supporter. I'm sure that there are younger voters that like Hillary.

Congratulations to Hillary for winning an uncontested (by all) race.
Since we don't have those all that often, I don't know what to make of it, if anything.

I will point out one more thing (at least as reported over and over by Tim Russert, so that makes it more or less heresay)... In the Florida primary, voters that voted in the last 30 days, regardless of age, sex, race or any other factor, cast more votes for Obama than Hillary.
Voters that cast their ballots over 30 days ago (absentee) voted for Hillary.

If true, it's interesting. Might be significant (voters who waited longer got to see Obama more and preferred him) or might not (people voting 30 days ago would still vote for Hillary today if absentee wasn't allowed).
