Schneider: Clinton, Obama hold their base
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/04/22/art.signs.jpg caption=" Competing political signs are seen in Philadelphia."]
(CNN) - Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are both holding strong among the most reliable members of their base.
Obama is winning 92 percent of black voters, among his highest margin to date in that demographic. Meanwhile, Clinton is winning among voters 65 and over by a 23 point margin, 61 to 38 percent.
Both candidates have held on to their base, a sign the trench warfare of the last four months could continue.

They need to settle this by way of dance-off. It's the only reliable way left to determine the winner! Someone needs to get served!
CNN – this is really not news. Most people had no doubt that each of them would hold on to their base. It is the undecided that they were gunning for.
Let OBAMA be the Winner PA. Send the Liar Clintons home.
Go Obama... you would win
NO MORE CLINTONS!!!!!OBAMA 08'
"Obama is winning 92 percent of black voters" No not about race at all... Nope...
The best sign I've seen this whole election is "NOBAMA". Way to go man, we need more like this one.
and even thought she CAN'T win... she will continue to work with mellon-scaife, fox news, limbaugh, and Mccain to make SURE Obama isn't worth a plug nickel come general election time.....
Brace yourselves democrats.....
we got 4 more years of republicans at the helm
wars
supreme court stacked
energy (GAS) comanies writing the legislation
habeaus corpus
(just plain exhausted.... depressed even)...
hey THOMAS....
right back at ya, dude....
You People/CNN, don't get it.... Obama will on any account ever be the..... Commander in Chief. President of the USA.... You're just prolonging His agony....
Hillary 2008 and 2012! 🙂
Thomas maybe blacks are going for Obama because their other option is Goldwater girl Hillary Rambo Clinton.
Diane,
You're a fruit. Hillary has outsourced tens of thousands of precious US jobs to India (which she personally got kickbacks from for her campaign), China, and Mexico. Wake up! She's evil!
NO MORE CLINTONS!
OBAMA FOR THE WIN AND FOR THE NOMINATION '08!!
and since more tha half of democrats in philly which is the largest electorate area, i think Obama will win PA with that much percentage of black folks.
Listen!!!!
If we as democrats let the Clinton go up against McCain we will lost the white house.
I don't think she can beat this guy. He will low her away and everybody knows it.
Don't let this guy go up against Clinton you will be sorry!
just hand him the keys to the white house.
But Obama will destroy McCain, Obama is just to smart for this guy.
OBAMA is the only one that's really connected to the people.
GO OBAMA #1 FOR PRES. 09'
Thank You to the 38% of the elderly that voted for Obama!
Interesting how in just about every previous election when blacks support white candidates over black black candidates (Kerry over Sharpton '04, Kerry over Mosely Braun '04, Gore over Keyes '00, B. Clinton over Keyes '00) no whites will criticize blacks. Then along comes Obama (black and white) and blacks support him and people (like Thomas, above) call blacks racist.
Interesting indeed...
Correction: B. Clinton over Keyes '96.
Here is what is going on. Some Republicans are voting for Obama so Hillary can't win, because McCain will have a harder time beating Clinton. These same voters will then vote for McCain in November.
so be smart and choose Hillary!!!
Why must CNN continue to report the "Black Vote"....why does this matter? To me it's as pointless as saying 95% of the voters with green eys support Hillary....
Meet us in North Carolina and Indiana
