Juno only parses.

Please Carlo, the Clintons need to be completely marginalized out of the Democratic Party. Their politics are unproductive and damaging to progressive interests. The Clintons need to get out of the way, now and in the future.

It is a stretch for you to say otherwise. Remember when the Clintons came to New York and the Clintons wanted to open up a very, very expensive ex-president office on Central Park South next to Carnegie Hall, way up top great views, great restaurants. The Clintons had no intention of going to Harlem. Then Delay got his last licks in and the Republican congress would not approve the rent and the Clintons went to Harlem, another publicity stunt.</p> <p>JUNO, the Clintons are a waste of time, your time, my time, Congress’ time.

JUNO, the Clintons are a waste of time, your time, my time, Congress’ time. The Clintons are boring problems and need to get out of the way, now, fast.

i’ve only looked at ohio so far (of the three states suggested; oh, tx, ri). my subjective take is that race is indeed a big difference (whites go for clinton and blacks for obama) – but not class (looking at both family income and education level – not sure what has the best correlation with social class). looks to me like the other big differences show up in 1) age and 2) population density. young voters and city voters support obama, older voters and voters from low pop. density areas go for clinton.

oh, well… i’m off to try to read the parallels manual and sit in the sun.
