Does CNN exit poll predict a Hillary win?

Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 09:36 PM by antiimperialist

I see that more females voted (57%) than males (43%).

Hillary won the female vote by a difference of 13%.
Obama won the male vote by a difference of 12%.

Mathematically, then, wouldn't it be impossible for Obama to have won this exit poll? I've heard some say CNN exit poll predicted an Obama win, but it makes no sense to me.
