Race in the Ohio Race
Looks like people that were concerned with race voted for clinton and voted against Obama and people that were concerned about Gender voted for Hillary

This says a lot
"It is worth noting, as Strickland does, that there was some data in the exit polls that suggested bias on gender, as well as race, lines. As much discussed yesterday, of the fifth who said race was important, three quarters voted for Hillary. Of the fifth who said gender was an important factor in their decision, 60% voted for Clinton, 40% for Obama -- presumably indicating some degree both of solidarity and of sexism."

1. That last line got me

60% voted for Clinton, 40% for Obama -- presumably indicating some degree both of solidarity and of sexism."

Women voting women is solidarity but a man voting for a man is a sexist, that what it basically says
can't they both sexiest?

2. Exactly
This sexism charge is b.s.

Racism on the other hand has been confirmed by the exit polls.

3. This is from a prior post of mine
If Hillary doesn't get the nomination, this man said, he'd not only vote for but work for McCain, "and I hate McCain."

"Why not Obama?"

"He's too inexperienced."

"And why else?" a woman down the bar asked.

"Because he's black."

"Thank you!" she replied.

More talk, a little heat, and the man exclaimed, "I'm not going to vote for the n@##er!"

Some in the bar seemed tensed; they were "undecided." The man goaded them; that's not what they had discussed the other day. He laughed. Another man from across the bar said he knew whom he wasn't voting for: "the n***er."

The first man continued to proclaim, "I love Hillary." He and a friend said she probably should take the VP spot if it were offered; even if Obama gets the nomination, "he's not going to make it." Later he apologized for saying "n***er"; "I'm not a racist."

I know sexism is the popular excuse here but racism is there just as strong
My edits on the "N" word

That is what has been pushed a subtle racism i.e. Obama is muslim, darker shading which by the way Factcheck, has not disproved. Like so many have said
