Obama, Clinton supporters both say Clinton attacking unfairly
(CNN) — Even in a state Hillary Clinton appears to have won by 35 points, a majority of Kentucky voters say the New York senator attacked Barack Obama unfairly.
According to the exit polls, 54 percent of voters said Clinton launched unfair attacks on Obama, though that didn't seem to deter voters there from supporting Clinton — 55 percent of those who said Clinton attacked unfairly still voted for the New York senator.
Clinton faced a similar statistic in West Virginia last week. There she won by 41 points, but nearly 60 percent of voters said she made unfair attacks against the Illinois senator.
If suspecting that at least some of the people who said that Clinton was making unfair attacks, and that they voted for her, were Republicans who were trying to get her the nomination in order to make McCain's chances of victory in November better mean I'm heading into tinfoil hat territory, all I have to say is "Where'd you put the Reynold's Wrap?"
