Obama supporters, younger and more diverse than Clinton supporters?
Only the respondents know for sure. Contrasting between previous OP's that where converged on without thought.

2. Yes, more African-Americans support Obama, understandably, and he gets the kids.

14. Everyone needs a hero.

And I was just poking fun.

I think Obama would do much much more for the socially disadvantaged than Clinton...

And Hillary is the establishment candidate (read "rich and beautiful"... or just "rich").

22. Well I always tend to have at least a fraction of my tongue firmly in cheek.
Fair enough. But "establishment" Hillary? When you look at Kerry, most of the Kennedys, Oprah, the MSM (and just recently, Dave Matthews, Q-Tip, and Scarlett Johanson etc. etc.,) I think you have to pin the Big E on the O-man.

(Plus, wealth and beauty are always Establishment.)

10. There was no question about that in my caucus precinct
a month ago in Iowa which had over 500 people in total - the Obama group was totally dominated by age 25-and-unders, and took over 50% of the votes in that room...

11. "Younger" meaning 18 - 50!
If you consider everyone below AARP age to be a kid, I guess you could stretch the results to say Obama's voters are young. Younger, yes. But what kind of triumph is it to win the little old lady vote." (I'm 62 but I'm a little old lady for Obama, as is my 90 year old Aunt and my 2 30-something daughters!)

27. 50 is the new 30
so I guess that makes me 37 LOL and in the desirable range. Instead of being a 57 year old that in this society is a nonenity. :-(

17. Me too... but not cranky.
If I was, well I might just have to vote for the only old cranky white male in the race...

"You kids! Get off my Lawn!" McCain... or Lawn McCain for short.

21. That makes sense to me. Must be time for bed. But, check this out first.

I know of what you speak, my friend.

Damned kids. Why can't they be like we were? Perfect, in every way. Oh, what's the matter with kids today? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TChlGm9oXI

25. Everyone's favorite Uncle Aurther...
Peter Marshall: In "Alice in Wonderland", who kept crying "I'm late, I'm late?"
Paul Lynde: Alice, and her mother is sick about it.

Peter Marshall: According to Tony Randall, "Every woman I've been intimate with in my life has been..." What?
Paul Lynde: Bitterly disappointed.

Peter Marshall: Diamonds should not be kept with your family jewels, why?
Paul Lynde: They're so cold!

Peter Marshall: What is a pullet?
Paul Lynde: A little show of affection...

26. Thanks for the warm humor tonight.
He died way, way, way too young. Haven't thought of him in a while, and I'm glad you triggered a few memories.
