The results in West Virginia speaks for itself, but at this point it has snowballed in Obama's direction.

Is Clinton Right That She's the Stronger Candidate?

So once again that head WAPO Obama Shill
Chris is out to try to spin the Butt Kicking Hillary Clinton gave Empty Suit
Barack Hussein Obama in to an Obama Win.
Oh well Chris will go into Toxic Obamajuice

Say No To Barack Hussein Obama! Here's my

Chris and the rest of WAPO Obama Shills
Toxic Obamajuice Drinker Rehab as well!
No Way Barack Hussein Obama Will Ever Be
The President of the United States!NOBAMA!

When they add in FL and MI, Hillary will win. PLUS she has had more superdelegates ready to vote for her since the getgo of this thing. I am SICK of the media forgetting that FL and MI MUST BE COUNTED. We will not be ignored and because they keep leaving our votes out of the race, everything they have said about Obama being ahead is completely false and misleading. Do any of you really think any judge will allow 6 million votes to be ignored? WE ARE SICK OF THIS. I have never seen so much injustice in a race for the nomination and this has Hillary supporters very pissed off. The biased media has slammed Hillary from the beginning and praised Obama. Did they think we wouldn't notice?

The rude and bullying, trashy, mesmerized Obamabots are going to look really silly when the big let down comes.

CLINTON 65.7

Clinton claims huge WV win changes the tide, but will the beaver state dam her hopes?

Clinton: 72
Obama: 27

Clinton makes a mountain out of a molehill after her victory in the Mountaineer State

I hope the Democrats in West Virginia realize that we need them to come out in record numbers and make this right by voting for Hillary Clinton. Only Hillary Clinton can beat McCain. Obama can not be the nominee. He is an inexperienced racist unqualified for the job who BTW simply can't win in a general election! Fingers are crossed!

I am a Florida Democrat and I am pissed off that my vote for Hillary has not yet been counted. The DNC has been a huge let down and they had better get their act together or many disenfranchised voters are going to jump ship.

Oh, and maybe the DNC had better also recognize that we will never vote for a racist President that the media shoves down our throats, no matter if he/she is black or white or purple.

Hillary: 67%

Did you hear? Hillary won West Virginia by 30 pts. Yeah... so how about that house race in Mississippi.

Clinton- 67

Clinton's win does not change narrative of race. Media focuses on Democrat Childers win in MS. Time is running out for Clinton.

One more Fix T-Shirt Prediction:

Why can we have voters like in West Virginia? America deserves better.

Obama is so far left that he has left America with "GD America" crowd.

Clinton wins in a cakewalk, but it's a hollow, meaningless victory as the naional press has already turned its attention to November. Tomorrow morning, 4 more superdelegates pledge their support to Obama, killing any momentum that HRC might like to claim.

Some commenter will make the case that it's like garbage time baskets scored long after the game has been decided.

Edwards is out but the "anti-Hillary" bunch will vote for him anyway. The black vote will go to Obama along with a few select whites, the rest will go to Clinton. Obama will net ZERO pledged delegates from WV which should make their superdelegates rethink what their state wants.

While Clinton is highly predicted to take West Virginia by a landslide 60 to 24, I suspect Obama may do a little better than expected. We believe Obama really connected with the former veterans and a lot of the undecided voters when they discovered Obama can shoot some pool. So we're predicting another tight race like Indiana with Clinton eventually winning the race.

Regardless of the outcome in West Virginia many of us are really proud of Obama and the way he has conducted his campaign. Koodos to Obama!

Wishing Obama the very best!

Oh come on. He played the race card at least twice a week, feigned offense at anything that resembled the truth and was the most divisive candidate in history. He was a passive-agressive whiney cry baby and took cheap shots while holding back his cocky head claiming to be above those things.
He's nothing but a hollow shell full of lies and BS.

Obama always gets around 90% of the black vote. What does that tell us? It tells us that all the racism, all this time, has been coming from blacks, not whites. He splits the white vote so the whites aren't the racists here, the racists are the 90% of blacks who vote for someone based on the color of his skin.
BLACKS ARE RACIST. It's time to end this black racism, do away with affirmative action, hold them responsible for their own actions and stop pandering to them every time they moan and cry about their ancestors being slaves. 10% of the population (the elitists that also support Obama) owned slaves, not the 90% of hard working white people. The blacks are the racists and Obama is the biggest racist of all.

If 'ifs' and 'buts' were candy and nuts... But I don't know if we can make that jump. There is always a winning strategy and and losing strategy in campaigns. Obviously the winning strategy is always the better one and hindsight is 20/20. That does not necessarily make the losing strategy a bad one or mean that the people who came up with it incompetant. IF Clinton would have won big on Super Tuesday and before, we would have been questioning Obama's 50 state strategy and saying that he spread himself too thin and that he had no backup plan. Obama's strategy worked better this time against this candidate in this particular field. That might have been foresight. But it might also just as easily been good luck or simply a good guess.

Just a quick note to the remaining Hillary loyalists: West Virginia is a beautiful state, and a state filled with awesome people. But it only offers maybe a net of +12 delegates when she's down by 180. Obama will likely still earn more delegates than Hillary this week, even with wild and wonderful West Virginia.

So in the sense that the voting in West Virginia can't and won't alter the outcome of the Democratic nomination fight, West Virginia doesn't matter. They should have moved their primary to the same day Virginia and DC and Maryland voted. That would have helped Hillary a lot more.

Clinton 53

Storyline from the Clinton campaign: "Another big state for Hillary!"

Storyline from the Obama campaign: "The race is over next Tuesday"

Marietta Thompson writes
"[Senator Clinton] has lost my respect and faith in her abillity to plan and budget accordingly. The way she has run her campaing leaves question as to how she would run the country!"

Which is another way of saying: Senator Clinton has run her campaign with comparable lack of foresight or contigency planning as President Bush & Secretary Rumsfeld's invasion of Iraq. They thought they would be met with only token resistence, winning clear & early victories. Bush/Rumsfeld told us 'Iraq will pay for itself' out of oil revenues. Team Clinton thought it would all be over by Feb 5th & spent accordingly. Apparently nobody considered the battle might last longer than a month or two.

They all think they will be vindicated by history.

Who do you predict will win the West Virginia Democratic Presidential Primary?

http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=2366

.

Sen. Clinton: 66%
Sen. Obama: 34%

I predict that West Virgina has a surprise in store for the media, Clinton, Obama, and the rest of America...

Obama: 52%
Clinton: 48%

Clinton: 57%
Obama: 41%

Clinton -75%
Obama - 25%

and if she were to pull of a really record win like 70%+ she would still be behind by more than 140--NOT COUNTING Supers.

While WV is interesting and I am in favor of a 50 state plan for November, and I don't want ANYONE left out (yes including FL and MI) can we stop every next state from being "the new battleground", at some point (perhaps now) it is just ridiculous.

Of course it is funny that HRC's argument has gone from "We win big states." to "We win small states with 'hardworking white' populations."

The Celtics were relieved this morning to find out they really did win last night despite being outscored 88-77.

Hillary campaign manager let them know that the end score really isn't the factor of deciding who wins.

You see Howard Wolfson paid a visit to the Celtics locker room and informed the team he sent off a protest letter to the NBA, showing how the Celtics really won the game.
Howard Wolfson reasons that since the Celtics actually had a higher free throw percentage in the game, a difference of 76.9% to 66.7%, that Celtics in fact really won the game despite the score at the end of the game.

You gotta love the spinsters in the Hillary camp.

and for the record in MS-1

Headline: Those bible clinging,hateful and uneducated West Virginians still cling to Hillary Clinton!!!!!!

It is so revealing how the controlling media pundits have tried to influence this race by continuously attacking and undermining Hillary Clinton and the elitists in this country undermine the will of the hard working americans with deep values who will not vote for Obama. The reality is that Hillary is the strongest candidate that can beat McCain in November and perhaps the people in West Virginia know and are smart enough to recognize the true capabilities of these 2 candidates.

This race should be allowed to be completed for the safety of this party and both Florida and Michigan voters should be heard. Obama does not retain any right to dictate the future of voters in these 2 states and if the DNC is not WISE enough to count the votes of these 2 significant stastes, the result would be a failed election. The fact that this issue has been allowed to last this long reveals bias and incompetence on the part of Howard Dean.

The Obama campaign and pundits have ran a highly RACIST campaign and now we will see another sign by the labelling of the West Virginia people as racists or ignorant as it was done in Pennsylvannia. Was there any comments about the results in North Carolina? It is O.K. to point the finger at white folks, but so many cowards when dealing with black folks!!!

The West Virginia folks can give a lesson to this country because they are about values and quick wit to recognize in Obama a candidate with too little substance!!!!!

Clinton 63%
Obama 35%
Edwards 2%

Hillary gets a few light jabs in while she is falling to the floor. Bill readies the towel.

Just to point out that even if HRC wins 60% of WV's delegates, she will still be around 150 behind BHO in pledged delegates, not counting supers.

Obama's campaign strategy of taking the black vote and those of the elitist latte liberals and ignoring everything else would be his downfall in the fall. He would not be able to campaign against the Republican machinery and his play victim/race card strategy would fall flat on his face.

So, wake up Democrats and see the TRUTH of this failure before your eyes!!!

Clinton - 58.2
Obama - 38.7

Bill Clinton Switches to Obama

By Andy Borowitz

Latest Superdelegate Defection for Hillary

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | In what some Democratic Party insiders are calling a particularly ominous sign for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, former president Bill Clinton today became the latest superdelegate to switch from Sen. Clinton to her rival, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill).

Sources close to the former president said that Mr. Clinton had been mulling such a defection for weeks, as early as the night of the Iowa primary, but that he only decided to make his decision public today.

"The American people want change," Mr. Clinton said at a press conference in New York. "Lord knows I do."

The former president said that "sometimes, at the end of a race, you have to put an old horse down," adding, "I'm not speaking metaphorically."

Mr. Clinton fueled speculation that he was seeking a role in an Obama administration, saying, "I know my way around the Oval Office, and I know how the super-secret double-lock works."

The former president said he would relish a return to the White House, calling his tenure there "good times."

For her part, Sen. Clinton said that the defection of her husband would not deter her from staying in the race, adding, "To my knowledge, he's the only white voter Sen. Obama has."

The New York senator denied that she was playing the race card, arguing, "Every other member of my family is supporting me, and by the way, they're white."

Clinton 68
Obama 29
Edwards 3

"GOP loses another seat, Clinton parlays white support into big win"

Clinton 63
Obama 28

according to pollster.com Obama was ~ 4% behind in Indiana and ~ 7% ahead in NC. In both cases he doubled his %. He won NC by 14% and only lost IN by 2%. If that were to hold in WV, then conceivably Obama could break 40%.
So I still say:
Clinton 58%
Obama 42%

Obama does better than expected in WV, Clinton vows to keep fighting for votes in KY and PR.

"People who are calling West Virginians racist does that mean Ohio, Indiana, Pa and on and on are they racist too? Give me a break! Those of you that say this you are the ingorant dumb hillbillies. They did well up there during the Clinton years so maybe they like Hillary out of loyalty?"

Agreed - from an Obama supporter

"There is a convincing argument out there that Obama's pledged delegates are inflated by about 105 due to the formulas and the quirky quacky delegate formulas."

It's a lie. Among the delegates allocated by popular vote, Clinton actually gets more delegates per vote than Obama. (Not much, though. Just an eleven delegate swing)

Obama: 36
Clinton: 64

Clinton:69%
Obama: 29%
Edwards: 2%

In Miss. 1st district:
(R) Greg Davis: 54.5
(D) Travis Childers: 44.5%

Clinton - 56
Obama - 44

Obama outperforms expectations; more supers sign on.

Clinton 52%
Edwards 27%
Obama 21%

Story line:

Edwards' strong showing, and Hillary's majority vote win, stir angst and concern among the superdelegates, who meet behind the scenes to explore whether a compromise candidate such as Edwards, with Obama as the vice presidential candidate, might not be a better bet for the fall than throwing their support to the polarizing narcissist who has divided and weakened the party.

Clinton 57.6%
Obama 41.6%

Race tightens a bit in the end, but too little too late for Clinton.

Clinton 64
Obama 34
Edwards 2

Clinton will also win the Nebraska "beauty contest" primary that nobody is paying attention to, and she will include that in her popular-vote count and use it to bolster her case that caucuses are undemocratic.

She will also start downplaying the results of next week's Oregon primary and play up the Kentucky battleground.

Remember, if it's a state that Obama was expected to win, it doesn't count.

W. Va. primary:
Clinton: 69%
Obama: 29%
Edwards: 2%

1st Miss. district:
(R) Greg Davis: 54.6%
(D) Travis Childers: 44.8%
others: 0.6%

Clinton wins big in W. Va. Davis wins in Miss. 1st district! Attacks on linking Childers to Obama worked, Republican Party & McCain prepare for war vs. Obama in November! Clinton makes "white working people" appeal to superdelegates. Clinton argues Obama is democratic loser down national ticket. Clinton urge's superdelegates to switch to her side.

Headlines: Clinton wins big in W. Va. as Obama campaigns for general election. Republican party prepares for November vs. Obama, as attacks in Miss. 1st worked well!

Clinton Beats Obama in Landslide; Losing by Less Than 30 Points, Obama Beats Clinton Again at Expectations Game.

If you are paying attention...you will realize that the only reason Hillary is still running, knowing she CANNOT win the race, West Virginia- yes, But not the nomination, IS TO KEEP TAKING IN CAMPAIGN MONEY TO HELP PAY OFF THE 20 MILLION SHE OWES AROUND THE COUNTRY! I like Hillary, would have voted for her if she had won....but she has lost my respect and faith in her abillity to plan and budget accordingly. The way she has run her campaing leaves question as to how she would run the country! More of the same ol political pandering and poor money management.

Obama: 23
Other (Edwards?): 2.5

To those of you who believe the Florida and Michigan votes should count, let me remind you that at the time those two states voted (before February 5), the candidates -- which included many more than Clinton and Obama -- had been told (and had agreed to) the fact that the votes from those states would not count.

No one campaigned in either state.

The argument now, that we accept the results of those votes -- as being as valid as votes from other primaries -- is a distortion of what really happened, and the candidates understanding of the situation at that time.

Had the candidates campaigned in Florida and Michigan, I'd agree with you that the votes should count, even if the DNC decides otherwise. But the candidates didn't campaign, which forced Florida and Michigan voters to cast their vote with very little information about who was running. All they really had to go on was name recognition, which -- thanks to her husband -- gave Hillary the edge.

As subsequent primaries demonstrated, particularly those on Super Tuesday (February 5), when voters got to know Obama, the dynamics changed. Obama had become a viable candidate in the states he'd campaigned in.

The only way to count Florida and Michigan is to allow Obama to campaign there. Counting votes based on whether or not his name was on the ballot completely distorts the reality and seems to serve only those who want Hillary to win, no matter what it takes.

The less of that kind of reasoning, the better we'll be as a country. Honest.

37th&OStreet...Michigan and Florida had their opportunity to vote but the local government and political parties blew it for the people. Michigan and Florida will be seated at the convention, but not to give Hillary any clear advantage to the nomination. 2025 is the hard total delegate number. Adding Michigan and/or Florida to that number will not be based on the voting done in January. You can count on it.

Even as "intelligent" as Hillary claims to be, she knows that she is so far mathematically behind in pledged delegates and popular vote she will not win. Even the great Hillary supporter and surrogate JAMES CARVILLE admitted to this. Hillary is still in the race because of her campaign debt which is growing every day by $235,000, needs to be paid off and she currently has ~$20 million in campaign debt!

Pundits say, "Big, but expected, win gives Hillary the chance to end on a high note and she should take it."

The most important metric is the number of pledged delegates Hillary ends up with. Playing with percentages like 60% Hillary to 40% Obama is less meaningful. Hillary will net 4 to 8 more pledged delegates than Obama if she wins by 20 to 30pts over Obama and maybe 50,000 to 80,000 more popular vote to Hillary than Obama.

Bottom line. Obama has already picked up 4 to 8 superdelegates more than Hillary since May 6th. After today, Hillary's campaign rhetoric about winning the nomination goes way down with contests like Kentucky and Oregon upcoming.

Storyline (taken from the WaPo cue) - Racism abounds! MSM states it is the only explanation for the "funny feeling" white people have about Obama and why on earth anyone would continue to vote for Hillary since she has already lost, is destroying the party, is the worst thing since Nixon, will end civilization as we know it, etc. No mention that it could be Obama is one of the most liberal, inexperienced and (in a lot of peoples mind) misguided candidates to ever be on the verge of the nomination. Or that his itinerary has not really included the Mountain state. Or Rev. Wright, et al... Or that there are more than a few hunters clinging to their guns in WV.

37th&O: At 10:44 you chided other posters for using the Democratic Party's official number of 2,025.

I'm sure that most of The Fix posters will adjust accordingly when the DNC acts. It's not like either Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama will get all of the Twilight Zone delegates. Both will get some.

I prefer not to try to shift the goal line, but wait for it to officially happen.

Clinton: 66.6

It's time for Clinton to take those country roads home to NY...this race is over

Actually, there are a million reasons you can give besides race not to vote for Obama, but to say he has less experience than Hillary, well that's just thinly disguised racism. Look at the state your coming from.

All my Michigan & Florida posts:

"White people in MI and FL should have their votes counted. Racist banter is the only clear path to Hillary Clinton's nomination."

37th and O (Georgetown address - not too elite or are you paving it?)
Spare me your dire warnings - your feigned populist message about Michigan is laughable. They will seat both delegations, but it will not be by the deluded standards of the Clinton campaign. Whatever happens, she will not be able to use that last gasp as a reason to give her the nomination. And anytime you want to run off and support the dark side, please do.Just be prepared to dig deep in your pockets for McCain. Smear campaigns with little substance cost money...

That is EXACTLY what they have been doing - some post-racial campaign - all they do is call people racist - and run whisper campaigns in the black community about how "offended" they are about some comment or another.

For the campaign which was supposed to transcend race, the Obama campaign has been the MOST RACIAL CAMPAIGN IN THE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY.

The Republicans are not going to be fooled - they are going to be - RIGHT BACK AT YOU - you might think your are hot shots now, good luck later, this attitude is going to land you in an electoral disaster.

THAT is the reason the Superdelegates are holding back - your have made a JOKE out of your own campaign message with your own actions and it is coming out !!!!

Response to Nor'Easter

That number will be changed on May 31 when the DNC Rules Committee meets - it will go up to 2135 or 2208 DELEGATES NEEDED FOR THE NOMINATION.

You really only have the Obama campaign and the other Obama people to blame for deceiving you.

They should have been telling you ALL ALONG that the number could go up - and THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN LISTING BOTH NUMBERS THE WHOLE TIME JUST LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN RUNNING DIFFERENT POPULAR VOTE TOTALS.

There are 50 states in the country, not 48 - if Obama had his flag pin on, he could check the number of stars to make sure for himself.

Obamaniacs DREAM ON.

And to the poster who is probably in the basement of the science building, I say PFFFFFFFFFT! You are being arrogant and blind. You can stand by your comments all you want, especially since you do not choose to back them up with facts. The GOP is on the ropes with money and registration. The Democratic primary with all its faults has fattened DNC coffers, put a lot of long held republican seats up for play, and brought in a lot of new registrations. Not bad for a guy in a gym full of "kids", as you put it.

It will not be easy, but I don't think that McSame can stand in a room and repeat "POW" over and over and think that will do it.

People living in Florida and Michigan are American citizens

The DNC does not have the authority or right to take away their voting rights because THEY can not agree on the schedule.

The DNC has NO RIGHT when to tell a state when to hold their primary.

The DNC Committees which gave you these impressions EXCEEDED THEIR AUTHORITY.

Its just a bunch of Washington insiders messing with your head.

Let me tell you this: Florida and Michigan are still part of the country, and they are very very important.

Thank you, Goodbye Obamaaniacs.

James Carville is now calling Obama the likely winner:

Speaking to students at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, Carville argued Clinton should stay in through the final nominating contest in early June, but said the Democratic tide appears to be moving in Obama's direction.
"I still hear some dogs barking," Carville said, according to The State newspaper. "I'm for Senator Clinton, but I think the great likelihood is that Obama will be the nominee."

"As soon as I determine when that is, I'll send him a check," he added.

Carville has been, and continues to be, one of Clinton's staunchest supporters. Until now, he has not wavered. It's great that, now that he has, he follows it up by telling us he'll be right there with Obama when the nominating process is complete.

If you still want Obama under those circumstances, go for it.

However the Republicans are going to have a field day.

For someone so confident about the turnout, you waste a lot time arguing your point. We heard the same arguments about Indiana and NC and we were all standing around in disbelief. The math does not support your argument.

Clinton top aides reported to be furious at Obama "eleventh-hour" sneak attack rally which included openly patriotic statements, specific plans for aid to veterans, Senator Jay Rockefeller, high-ranking former military officers, numerous other veterans, and a flag lapel pin. "I'm all for a tough fight, but this positive campaigning can go too far," comments one off the record. "Not to mention focusing on the voters' needs instead of the technical process of delegate allocation. How much more of this is Senator Clinton expected to take?"

Barack - 45.5%
Other - 3%

37th&OStreet...the total delegate number in the Democratic party to reach is 2025! Not 2208?!?! All the candidates and members of the DNC agreed that 2025 is the magic number to reach.

Hillary supporters need to stop repeating the Hillary campaign weak talking points (if not down right lies) on how to win the nomination and general election. For instance, the following talking points are weak:

1) 2208 Total Delegates is needed! FALSE: The above number includes Michigan and Florida. Obama's name was not on the ballot so Michigan can't count. Even though Florida also broke the DNC rules, Obama's name was on the ballot and Florida can argue more forcefully about seating their delegates in some fashion.

2) Hillary wins the popular vote!
FALSE: Here again the Hillary camp includes Michigan and Florida. Puerto Rico changed from a caucus to a primary within the last 3 months to try to help Hillary, but Puerto Rico doesn't vote in the general election!

Clinton 59
Obama 37
Edwards 4

The talk in the media will be about how race affected the vote, and what this means for the general election.
Also, the media will say the win doesn't matter, and Obama will still become the nominee.

clinton:63
obama:37

i think clinton will use tonights big victory to rake in the money(if she can even) and this loss highlights obamas weakness with white voters without a college education. and by next tuesday or wednesday she will drop out and obama will seat the MI FL delegates.

Chris: Obama is not the PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE. He does not have enough pledged delegates to claim that. He will not have enough after June 3. The Super Delgates can not make him the PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE, because they can't vote until Aug. 25 at the Convention. They can all change their minds between now and the Aug. vote. You can not call him the PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE.

McCain is the PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE because he has enough pledged delegates to put him over the top at this point, that is the definition of "presumptive nominee"

If I was Hillary, under these circumstances, I would keep on going - everyone can say she doesn't have a chance, however what happens if she shows up in Denver with the majority of the delegates including Florida and Michigan???

Yea the Donald Payne switched - that is true - however it could work both ways.

A superdelegate starts to look at the polls for November.

Why should democrats in close races lose because Obama is on the top of the ticket???

It makes no sense.

Obama doesn't have this good lead - Obama has the slimmest lead in the history - he has the kind of lead that in the past would have led to additional ballots at the Convention and other candidates coming in.

Obama barely has the popular vote - in fact it looks like Obama is going to LOSE the popular vote.

If you still want Obama under those circumstances, go for it.

However the Republicans are going to have a field day.

Clinton 61%, Obama 39%; low turnout from everywhere except Morgantown keeps Obama in the same planet; Hillary nets all of 7 mighty delegates, and declares total victory (even as more superdelegates-- tights, capes and all-- bolt for Obama today).

In West's final collegiate season he put up the best performances of his career. He scored a career-high 29.3 points per game and a career-high 134 assists on the season. He also set a career-high of 16.5 rebounds per game. He shot 50.4% from the field and a career-high of 76.6% from the free throw line. West was again a consensus All-American selection. West's best performance of the season was a 40-point and 16-rebound game against Virginia. West's 9
