Is there any way to get a primary/caucus voter breakdown by affiliation?

[LisaM]

I am curious to know how the Clinton/Obama vote breaks down by:

Democrat
Republican
Independent

(or any others you can think of).

I ask this in relation to the whole super delegate brouhaha. Since the superdelegates are all committed Democrats, I would expect their vote at the convention to break the same as the Democratic voters for HRC and Obama, NOT the vote total as a whole.

1. Ding, Ding, Ding. A democrat that gets it. Thanks. eom

2. Yeah, it just clicked in!

And I intend to go on a barnstorming tour........

In the meantime, how do I get those numbers?

3. More changing the rules after the game has started

Are people really this ethics challenged.

5. A lot of Republicans and Independents crossed over to vote for Obama

Explain to me why the super delegates should be compelled to follow the will of Republican voters who crossed over to vote in OUR primaries.

6. I think that you will find that it is Hillary that the GOP is rooting for......

Those voting for Obama actually really do want change, and want a candidate who was smart enough to be against the war. Kinda of like Lincoln Chafee out of Rhode Island who endorsed Obama today.

Ohio Republicans pulling for Clinton to win
If she's Dems' nominee, GOP faithful think she'll unite GOP
BY HOWARD WILKINSON | [e-mail]

One of the worst-kept secrets of the Ohio presidential primary is that Republican Party leaders have a candidate they are rooting for on the Democratic side.
Her name is Hillary Rodham Clinton; and they believe that if she wins the Ohio primary and goes on to become the Democratic nominee, she will be the one who unites their dispirited and divided party and gives them their best chance of keeping the White House this fall.
It is a belief that the Clinton campaign says is wrong; and they will campaign across the state for the next three weeks making the argument that their battle-tested, experienced candidate is the only one who can go toe-to-toe with John McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee.

'HIGH NEGATIVES'
To hear Republicans tell it, they're rooting for Clinton.
"There is no doubt about it," said John Becker, a Clermont County Republican who represents much of southern Ohio on the Ohio Republican Party Central Committee. "There is nobody who can consolidate and energize the Republican Party like Hillary Clinton. It will get the people out and the money will flow."
Part of it is that Clinton has what pollsters call "high negatives."
A USA Today poll this month showed that as many Americans had an unfavorable view of Clinton - 49 percent - as a favorable view (48 percent). The same poll showed Barack Obama's unfavorable rating at 34 percent, and his favorable rating at 58 percent. The Feb. 8-10 poll of 1,016 adults nationwide has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

7. After all sides agreed to them.

Aren't you sick and tired of Clinton supporters blaming everyone but Hillary for the sad state of her campaign?

Edit: Is this really the type of campaign we want our candidate to run in the General Election?

4. The CNN exit polling has it for all the primary states

You have to do a state by state lookup though. There is no real data on the caucus states that I'm aware of.

Another thing to looks at re:supers, is that the vast majority of actual voters voted in primaries, not participated in the caucus states. Much smaller turnout at caucuses as a rule. So that is also a factor in determining who the bulk of voters actually chose.
