No one can find a West Virginian who will vote for Obama? Let it go red! We cannot be scared of racists (aka 'he's a muslim and doesn't wear a flag pin so we need an excuse not to vote for the negro').

I'm sure if you'd ask these same people who won't vote for Obama if they wish Jim Crow laws and segregation still existed, they'd probably say YES! The world is changing! If Obama's fierce support makes the change without them, more the better. If he wins by one delegate in the general election, so be it. His supporters are fierce!

[pleeezzze]

Actually , you should have said....his supporters are RABID !

After Bill got there and spread his lies, I can understand it. He is going around the state telling them that Obama thinks they are stupid. There are a lot of articles that were out yesterday. This man use to have my respect, but, not anymore. Bill you need to go, you have made a complete fool of yourself. Go back to your bimbo's, they still love you !

[pleeezzze]

Typical Obaman , blame any Clinton for any problem Obama has even when he himself is the only one to blame.
Obama has done a good enough job telling people that he does'nt consider in his elite league,
what he thinks of them . He certainly does not need Bill to tell them .

The Washington Times? Another one of Murdoch's papers, isn't it? They couldn't find even one person who said they would vote for Obama, in the state that refused to secede with Virginia, and thus became a state in the Civil War? Doesn't make sense. Doesn't pass the "smell" test. (smells fishy, propbably not true)

From FT:

"Like most people in Mingo County, West Virginia, Leonard Simpson is a lifelong Democrat. But given a choice between Barack Obama and John McCain in November, the 67-year-old retired coalminer would vote Republican.

"I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife's an atheist," said Mr Simpson, drawing on a cigarette outside the fire station in Williamson, a coalmining town of 3,400 people surrounded by lush wooded hillsides."

This is really sad. I can't even make a joke about this statement.

One of those Hillary supporters who "didn't finish college".

I'd be surprised if that guy finished 4th Grade.

I CAN ONLY PRAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF WV

[hopelessobama]

[sierrarisings1]

CNN has a panel on now as if it is Tuesday. OMG

[txgal44]

There are some smart, wonderful people in WV!! Come on WV!!! Show us what you're made of!!!

[biglover]

Unfortunately - not enough however. How ignorant can people be?. When you live your life in the bacwkwoods - you can only be backward and ignorant

[butchie65]

Time to flag ginnypoo. She needs meds or something, she doesn't know what the hell she is talking about.

[sierrarisings1]

Yes she sounds like a CHILD!

Fortunately, contrary to the latest Clinton spin, Democrats do not need WV to win in November. WV is worth 5 Electoral Votes! Clinton surrogates say Democrats need WV if they are to win because no Democratic president in recent memory has won in November without winning WV. But Clinton won in 1992 with 370 Electoral Votes. He could have easily lost WV and still become president. WV was a dispensible state for Clinton. And if Clinton could have won without it, so can the Democrats in November.

Clinton surrogates say if Gore had won WV in 2000, Gore would be president. This is true.... but if Gore had won any of Colorado, Nevada, New Hampshire or Florida, Gore would be president. There is nothing magical about WV. Gore didn't need WV to win in 2000, and Democrats don't need WV in November.

Hello, He won Florida. He lost USSC>

West Virginians would do themselves good to have a ally in the White House by voting for Obama, than to vote for someone that doesn't have a chance to work for their best interest in the next 4 years. Hillary has baited the inhabitants of West Virginia into a racial divide, that only benefits her campaign and leave them no better off than they were.

Ginnypoo Dear,

Where do you get your information? Do you actually read it or do you hear voices in your head? Seriously! If you would READ, you would know Obama was in WV. Hopefully, you read his speech or watch it. He never called anyone in Pa. 'typical white bigots'. WTF??? I live in Pa. and believe me, if that would have ever been said, it would have been all over Pa. in a heartbeat! Since you are more than capable of logging on this site, that means you are capable of logging onto other sites as well. So inform yourself, girl! Stop making things up because it makes you look like those children that always told lies at school for no apparent reason other than to tell it!

You know whats sad the AA vote has helped put some white Presidential candidates in office and now they cant turn around and help elect an AA candidate. The only vote thats been solid for the democrat for years solid as in 80% or higher and this is how it gets repaid. I wouldnt be supriise if after this election many opt to be indepdents. I'm ashamed to call myself a democrat so I'll be switching too.

[Sparty1]

Thank you Carol. You said exactly what I've been thinking for the past few months. I was seriously drinking the Clinton kool-aid before, but not anymore.

[Cyndee1113]

harriscrl3,

That is why after this election, (if Obama does not win) I will change my party to independent.

[ginnypoo]

THIS ARTICLE IS MEANT TO CAUSE NOTHING BUT DIVISION...HUFFPO SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO EVEN PRINT THIS GARBAGE. HUFFPO IS CAUSING MORE TROUBLE THAN ANY ONE OR ANYTHING BY WRITING THESE ARTICLES SO YOU GUYS CAN SPEW VITRIOL. YOU ARE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR HILLARY DEMOCRATS TO EVER JOIN WITH OBAMA DEMOCRATS. WELL DONE, HUFFPO...YOU ARE DESTROYING THE PARTY. I KNEW ARRIANNA WASN'T REALLY A DEMOCRAT, AND SHE IS DESTROYING OUR PARTY WITH HER FAKE CONVERSION AND FAKE DEMOCRATIC WEBSITE BY ENCOURAGING AND NEVER WEEDING OUT POST LIKE THERE ARE BELOW THAT CALL FOR WV TO BE OBLITERATED FOR NOT SUPPORTING OBAMA. OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE ACTUALLY SAYING THOSE IN WV THAT VOTE HILLARY SHOULD DIE. HUFFPO BETTER CONTROL THIS OR THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW THIS ALL COMES OUT. VIOLENCE AT THE CONVENTION WILL BE HUNG AROUND THE NECKS OF ALL WRITERS AND POSTERS ON THIS SITE. I HAVE PRINTED MANY PAGES OF THIS STUFF TO USE AS PROOF OF WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE. MONITOR THIS STUFF OR BE THE BLAME OF ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS AT THE CONVENTION. THEY ARE FEEDING INTO THE HATRED.

[Wanjiru]

...you may well be making a very valid point; it's difficult to tell though seeing as you are SCREAMING it...

[Gma11]

Yeah - I skip over the post in caps - far too difficult to read.

Looks like someone about to have a coronary . . .

[Tropiholic]

caps lock intervention!!!!!

[Cyndee1113]

Don't talk about Arianna like that. She had nothing to do with our feelings. We are not saying anything offensive. Get a life!!

[olivia]

West Virginia might surprise us.

We should not underestimate them. They cannot all be racists.

[Ramirez]

Dismissing Clinton supporters as racists will not help the Obama mission of Hope, Change, and Unity.

[disgustedbyitall]

No one really thinks everyone from West Virginia is inbred or an idiot or a racist or a homophobe or a hillbilly. But they're the ones being quoted and apparently they're all voting for Clinton. You explain why every other state splits more or less evenly and WV won't give Obama the time of day.

Read the quotes from the articles. Then visit West Virginia. Then try your post again.
