Apparently, the reason Senator Hillary Clinton (New York) won the recent New Hampshire Democratic party US presidential primary was as follows:
No, it appears at this early stage of analysis that the pieces were in place for this win all along, and that the “secret weapon” of the Clinton campaign was their field program to significantly boost turnout with their strongest demographic, single women and women with less than a college degree.
I wonder what we should call “single women and women with less than a college degree”? Not “Soccer Moms” obviously. I have a horrible feeling I know what Chris Rock would call them…
BTW, I note there are no Samizdata category sections for “witchcraft” or “elections”. This might be a case for either or both.
There are stories that the actual demographic was: “Massachussets residents bused in by the Clinton campaign to vote in the primary”.
Astonishingly, the only qualification necessary for casting a vote in the New Hampshire primary was a statement of intent to move to the State.
OK, maybe the willingness to exploit every loophole is a positive attribute for a presidential candidate, in certain people’s minds.
The “Salem” demographic? I’m reminded of Paul Marks’ apt quote paraphrasing the Hillderbeeste.
