From CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider
(CNN) – Was there any fallout from the so-called "bitter-gate?" On the whole, no, the exit polls suggest. Hillary Clinton seized on Barack Obama's now famous comments about small town Americans, characterizing them as elitist and suggesting the Illinois senator is out of touch with many small-town Americans. But Pennsylvania Democrats said Tuesday night they don't view Obama any more out of touch than Clinton: 66 percent of Pennsylvania Democrats said Clinton is in touch with people like them, while 65 percent said the same for Obama. Translation: The elitist charge on Obama, at least among Democrats, does not appear to have stuck. Filed under: Barack Obama Bill Schneider Exit Polls Hillary Clinton Pennsylvania |
