Clinton Wv

With Clinton holding a huge lead in the latest West Virginia polls, her win there is all but assumed. One energetic Hillary supporter even suggested a 60-point margin tonight, a claim that the camp was eager to walk back.

So what should be expected tonight? Will Clinton meet the polls? Exceed them? Or will the declaration of Obama as the de facto nominee help him unexpectedly. Let us know your predictions for the West Virginia primary.

What will be the final result in tonight's West Virginia primary?

  • Clinton by 0-10 points
  • Clinton by 10-20 points
  • Clinton by 20-25 points
  • Clinton by 25-30 points
  • Clinton by 30+ points
  • An Obama upset
  • Who cares? This race is over

This message is for all the a-holes out there who are claiming that Hillary will win WV because WV is racist, backward, inbred, etc., etc. etc. I find it telling that none of you used these dispicable epithets when describing NY, NJ, CA, etc, etc, etc.

One piece of advice for you. Do NOT come to WV with those attitudes, or we WILL hand your ass and your hat back to you at the same time. NOT a threat. A PROMISE.

This message brought to you by a WV OBAMA supporter.

I'm willing to concede WV to Hillary. Congrats to Hillary and her supporters on her win. Unfortunately for her, it doesn't change the outcome but a win is a win and we should be gracious about it. As for the voters in WV, by November they will have had a chance to get to know Obama and understand that McCain will not make their lives any better. For those who wouldn't vote for him based on race, the majority of them would probably not vote for a woman in the general either.

Byrd is one of the best people in the senate. His speeches before we invaded Iraq illegally, speaking against the coming war were great and well thought out. He is not now, just as the Pope is no longer a Nazi, in the KKK.

If Obama is such a unifier, why can't he win West Virginia?

More than likely because there are people there who will not vote for a black person. It is hard to bring people in when they base everything on race and not facts and truths! What's your story sophie?!?!?

I hope she does win this state. Such a win would prompt her to openly call Barack a N*gger and lose it all.

C'mon, Hillary; we just know you have this in you.

Yes...unfo­rtunately Hillary will West Virginia..­.but what Is almost as sad this the fact that the majority of the people on this board generalize the entire state! I was born in West Virginia (Beckley to be exact) and I also spent many summers there...I love it, despite its imperfections. Yes, you have your racist and bigots in West Virginia but, I can leave out of my office here in the big city of Atlanta and encounter the same bigoted mindsets and racism. I do not fit the mold of the "typical" West Virginian stereotype by the way. I am a young, black, college (graduate) educated woman. And yes, I'm voting for OBAMA! Not because he's Black but, because he's the only hope American has to move this country forward in unity! Forget about the small percent of people who choose to be left in the past!

What have we learned today?
West Virginia is full of people with a low educational attainment­(hillbilli­es) with the highest per capita white population­(hillbilli­es)who may have problems with race(hillb­illies)and are nervous about anything that might -change- their status as one of the biggest states first to the pork barrel(sen Byrd)
for all you can eat.(hillb­illies)
I know some "folks" in West Virginia. They are cultured people of a high educational attainment. They are liberal state politicians (many years as leaders in the WVA State Senate). They are voting Obama.
And if you think i am bad with the references to Hillbillies- you should hear them speak in private.

Stop with the sweeping put downs of West Virginia. I for one can understand why Hilary Clinton would seem more safe and familiar than Obama with the strange name and Harvard manner. Anyway, suckering people who won't do the research into voting against their interests is the American way.

One can only ask "Why?" the 3rd poorest and one of the most under-educated states overwhelmingly prefers Clinton over Obama. Maybe its because she's wealthy and cannot tell the truth that is a regional turn-on.
WV was a non-slavery state and separated from VA at the time of the Civil War. But today, the camera in the streets show an open hated towards blacks, and Obama's half-white ancestry doesn't seem to count. I wonder why?

Well, someone on TPM said, while the state was not involved with slavery, they hated both the slave and the slave masters, since it was about class and competition.

Where are you people getting your history from??? For Pete's sake, they were admitted as a SLAVE STATE LOYAL TO THE UNION. Their seperation from Virginia was not about slavery and the state had slavery until it was abolished in 1865.

Sadly, because Sen. Obama looks black, all people see is the color of his skin. No one thinks of his white mother. I live in small town in Indiana. I voted Obama but many people here still don't like black people. I am a older white woman and I think Obama is the best thing since sliced bread.....­Go Obama

I say that this is almost over , let her continue to campaign so that We do not have to deal with those who would say that she was pushed out & that the Elections were not fair. Give it a rest everyone , if she wants to stay let her.
