CNN Exit Polls from Austin, Texas: Who Did You Vote For?
We are a few hours away from the results of the second biggest Tuesday of this Democratic primary season. You have to give George Bush some kind of credit, the ways in which he has ramshacked this country has more people interested in politics than I can remember.
There are people going home tonight putting aside their regular shows so they can watch election results. Texas and Ohio. Obama and Clinton. It’s like sports night.
No matter who’s declared the winner tonight, we will hear a lot about those infamous exit polls. A fancy way of saying: we talked to folks on the way out of their voting center - here is what they said.
CNN propped a camera outside of an Austin, Texas voting center to snap some of that polling online.
Check the video or the screen caps below.
Richard MacDonald, 55 - Self-Employed
“I voted for Barack Obama because of his opposition to the war and his reasons for opposing it.”
Cora Nelson, 33 - Education Specialist
“I voted for Hillary Clinton. I believe that she’s got the experience and background that I’m looking for.”
Lisa Worley, 34 - Museum Curator
“I voted for Barack Obama because I’m ready for some change and I like his idealism.”

“I’m voting for Hillary Clinton. My entire family is voting for Hillary Clinton. There was a lot of discussion about it, as far as the historical aspect of an African-American being voted in, but we voted based on her record and her commitment. We’re just more familiar with her and we prefer to make history another way.”
Ellen(?), 39
“I voted for Barack. I think he has good ideas and plans for our economy, as well for the schools and education.”
Jason McCloud - Recording Engineer and producer
“I voted for Barack Obama because I like the change that he has promised and hopefully when he gets to Washington, we’ll see that kind of change in Washington.”
Philip Knight, 29 - self-described House Husband
“I voted for Barack Obama because I do feel like he’s a breath of fresh air for the U.S. and the world abroad.”
Debra Carter, about 50 - Hair Salon Owner
“I voted for Obama. First primary I ever voted in. I’m really, really excited about it. It probably will be the most exciting election I’ll ever witness in my lifetime.”
Frances O’Reilly, 73
“I came to vote for Hillary Clinton because I think that she’s the right person to take care of this country. In my opinion she’s very, very experienced.”
Dan Galusky, 51 - Software Engineer
“I voted for Barack Obama. I felt like he represented the biggest change from what is currently going on in Washington.”

Old ladies love Hillary. They are the only people left who think Hillary is a good person.
Who killed Vince Foster?
They are no indicator of anything.
Good luck with that…
I think she needs a new ‘do
Think they are so cool if they vote for Barack Obama
This has nothing to do with whether or not Hillary Clinton is a “good person.” Does anyone really believe politcians are “good people” anymore???
I prefer Obama because I think through him the races of the world can unite and we can become one humanbeings not racialbeings. We might not be perfect, but at least we will be on the road to racial harmony. I salute American people for their bravery and intelligence to vote for their preferred candidate without taking colour or race into account - how beautiful it is to see some whites voting for Obama and other Blacks for Hillary - it is so humane, so exciting, I think the American people have shown the world what being human means - whoever candidate wins - good luck America!
I can’t believe Ann Coulter is advertised on this website.
It is Rediculous that Republicans are Allowed to Vote in Democratic Primary, and Determine Who they want to Run Against in November Election!
