Hillary is a negative campaigner (Part 3).

As the AP reported , 63% of a certain voting group in South Carolina felt that in the campaign Hillary had made unfair attacks against Obama. And what group would that be?

...people that voted for Hillary.

That's right. 63% of the people who voted for Hillary thought she engaged in unfair negative campaigning.

Here are the numbers from the voting results and exit polls.
  • Total votes: 530,322
  • Percentage of voters saying Hillary engaged in unfair attacks: 70%
  • Number of voters saying Hillary engaged in unfair attacks: 530,322 x .70 = 371,225
  • Percentage of 371,225 who voted for Hillary: 24%
  • Number of Hillary voters saying Hillary engaged in unfair attacks: 371,225 x .24 = 89,094
  • Total votes for Hillary: 141, 128
  • Percentage of Hillary voters saying Hillary engaged in unfair attacks: 89,094/141,128 = 63%
Wow. Even a majority of Hillary voters says she is a negative campaigner.

Or maybe not. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night, and she said that the media fudged all the numbers to make Hillary look bad. I guess it's pretty serious.
