I've found it interesting to compare the polling stats to real people and see how they are reflected. For instance, while we have both male and female supporters of Senators Clinton and Obama on this site, it certainly seems as if there is a slight tendency for female bloggers here to be a little more open to Senator Clinton. This is exactly what polling data tells us - about 60% of Democratic-voting women support Clinton.

Or, it seems there is stronger support for Obama on TMV. But again, polls tell us that self-identified moderates have trended towards Obama, so we are again acting out the polls.

And, just personally, if you drew up the classic Obama supporter in regards to age, education level, and gender, you'd get... me. And here I am thinking Obama is likely to be the best President of the three candidates.

As much as we all like to think of ourselves as individuals with our own unique perspectives, the demographic trends do show up right here in real people.

Chuck Todd from MSNBC has said that the delegate rules in Pennsylvania help Obama. Something about inner-city districts being worth more than others.
