[election 71]
UPDATE: (Silent Patriot) There's also another race to follow closely tonight in Mississippi's 1st congressional district. Rep. Roger Wicker was promoted to the Senate after Trent Lott stepped down, and this seat, which went to Bush by 30 pts in 2004, has a realistic shot at going blue.
You can check the results here. We're pulling for Travis Childers.

Clinton is going to win and it doesn't change anything.
Watching that video and listening to the reasons people gave for the way they voted proves that we get the government we deserve.
What a bunch of morons.
Move along folks, nothing to see here...
Wonder how they'll spin a Clinton victory. I mean, both Dems have McPapen beat all to Hell and gone, but Jesus, dudes, get a nominee, and fast. The Republicans will only have to lift the attack ads ya'll will run against each other!
These people, Democratic voters, are truly scary. Don't they know what is going on? That Hillary has no chance to win? I agree with the idea it will not be soon that a woman will run for president again. But Hillary carries too much baggage. Bill.
Yawn ...
General_Rennenkampf @ 4:
Cons are going to unload the swift boat equivalent of the neutron bomb on Obama.
Wow, when you read and hear quotes like that... Makes you realize that we still have a long way to go in some states. Besides what kind of devote Muslim would marry an Atheist?
thats why this is so sad: that lady things you need to have money to run for president! Anyone should be able to run for president regardless of their personal financial history.
The msm keeps pushing this "horse race" for bucks and ratings even while mostly acknowledging Obama will be the nominee.
Any idea how Hamas or Hezbollah voted in the West Virginia primary?
clinton yeah hisss booo
Already the big news sites are spinning this as bad news for Democrats - they're saying 50% of Clinton voters say they'd vote for McCain over Obama in exit polls, suggesting Democrats should be terrified if Obama's the nominee because he won't be viable. Gee, I wonder why people voting in a Democratic primary say they'd vote for a Republican in the general election if their choice doesn't get the nomination. Either they're lying or they're people whose opinions I (and hopefully other progressives) likely don't respect on most issues.
Who here thinks Obama will be the next president?
WV?
Never heard of it.
Not connected to the primary, just something that made me smirk.
It seems it's ok to label Obama the "anti Christ" but dare to suggest the reverse and that's just too much.

L.A. Confidential: I fully understand that, and despite a hesitance to say it, Hillary is the better candidate in the general. Obama's pooped from all this. Hillary's energized, and after all the crap she's been through, frankly deserves the White House. I have no horse in this race, but of the two, from a power-politics perspective, Hillary is superior.
Vibius: Muslims and Christians both are forbidden to marry atheists, which has more to do with the survival of the tribal instinct in the religions than it does with anything else. Something that I, furthermore, consider ridiculous.
80/20 will be the outcome if Hillary and her supporters are correct.
Only 17% are college educated.
Only 3% are AA.
There is Obama's 20%

man, do news agencies throw away intelligent comments on why people are voting for thier candidate? i live in seattle and my first memory of politics is a lady on tv who was voting for patty murry(whom i support btw). "i just love her! i'm voting for because... um ... well um.... because......, because she is a mom in her tennis shoes!" uggggghhhh. that was what the local media had deemed her. the mom in tennis shoes. now i'm 29 and its the same crap. i swear they are actors who are supplanted by the tv stations

How much sense does it make for WV to vote for mccain? After all mccain is more likely to send poor people to fight mcchimpy's 100 yr war.
I agree with your statement about dems voting repug in the general election.
hillary has this problem too. she claims her white, stupid voters won't vote for Sen. Obama if she doesn't win the primary.
i'm always amazed at how a primary or caucus can be called a "win" for a particular candidate when the % column for all the candidates are at 0%.
West Virginia Primary: Good Morning America Meets An Uninformed Voter
Good Morning America, on the scene in West Virginia, introduced their viewers to Janis. She's not a particularly enthusiastic Hillary Clinton supporter, but for her, Hillary has got one thing on Barack Obama: she's not a Muslim. Of course, neither is Obama.
Now, it's hardly newsworthy to learn that stupid people exist and they do, in fact, vote. I mean, we have this whole thing called "the Bush Administration" that more or less proves that. But it's a little astounding to hear Kate Snow, who, as a reporter, is ostensibly charged with informing the public, offer up the mealy mouthed, "Just for the record, he constantly says he's a Christian..." As Snow well knows, there's a reason that Obama constantly says he's a Christian: it is because he is a Christian. The correct response would have been, "I'm sorry, but you are mistaken." Or, failing that, at least show us a voter capable of making a passionate and authoritative case for Clinton.
L.A. Confidential @ 7:
Obama will try to get the nearly half of the country that never votes, out to vote.

=====================
Well, i am Irish, so you got me.
When Rome invaded Egypt the high Priests fled to Ireland taking the alphabet with them (which is why the Irish are so literate) and they inter married extensively.
During the potato "famine" the Irish were brought to America in retrofited slave ships and ended up in the tenements of New York with African Americans where they inter married extensively.
So not only are many Irish also African, but many African Americans are also Irish.
Then again human civilization began in Iraq so we are very busy killing off our brothers and sisters there as well.

Because Hillary has stated publicly that i will not vote for Obama because of the color of my skin.

jack @ 353:
Oh, please. Bush does not have a southern drawl. He can barely speak English, adding a fake accent is just not in his scope of capacities.
He was elected because a large percentage of the population assumed that, Bush being a recovering alcoholic made far more sense as a drinking partner than Gore. In fact large portions of the South voted en masse for the dolt blue blood Yankee pretending to be a goo ol' boy than for their very own Southern Gentleman...
There were times in early 2001 when I almost banged my head into oblivion. One time involved a Southern pair interviewed who stated their love for Bush; she loved the fact that he was a "reformed" man you know finding Jesus and stopping the drinking, and he loved the fact that he could have some good ol' time shooting some "beersh" with that Bush feller. I wish I was making shit like that up, but sometimes life is its own best parody and we are here just for the fucking ride. It was obvious to me at that point that kids in the Bible belt not only enjoy circumcision when born but they also receive complementary lobotomies...
Well being uneducated and white and working class i am going to have to get up in the morning and go to work.

The Dude @ 315:
Heres a question for ya, Dude. Let me get this straight....the candidate in the primaries who is trailing in overall votes, states won, number of delegates, and who is $20million in debt just kicked the living shit out of the presumptive nominee?
WTF is that?
Hey, I have an idea. Instead of theorizing about why a bunch of "rednecks" and "hillbillies" did in WV, let's focus on how Obama is going to win in November without them.
Johnny2Bad @ 363:
Again, you seem to be unable to distinguish between a primary election and a general one.
So answer me this: does Hillary after tonight still not trail in overall votes, states won, number of delegates, and has her $20 million debt magically evaporated?
Spin, spin...
Anyone one mention the fact that:
Clinton got 239.062 votes
Obama got 91.652 votes
Mccain got 89.683 votes
So in this state where Obama falls short on white blue collar voters, he still has more votes then Mccain.
I think this is th Limbaugh Effect, nothing more nothing else... no one can make the argument that white blue collar, uneducated, racist people won't vote for obama when in fact more of West Virginia voted for him then Mccain.... They are trying to take away the nomination from him... and Hillary is playing this game.
Obama didn't even bother to campaign there because I'm sure they knew it would be a waste of time to try to influence that many people with such ingrained prejudice. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses and move on. I've always heard that everyone in West Virginia is related. Maybe there's something to that.
OK. So what's next? (West Virginia isn't going to change a thing.) (Calm down everyone.)
tHeHusseinGaMeOfLiFe @ 50:
sure! everything has changed SO MUCH since King was killed...
When growing up in the 60's, I spent my summers in SW Pennsylvania, right next door to West Virginia in the beautiful hills and mountains. When walking down country roads, I could always see "save our land, join the klan" posters on telephone polls and fences.
Haven't seen any of those in many years, and lots of those hill folks have changed their attitudes for the better. But I am not surprised to find there are still plenty who think it's still the 60's, and I mean 1860's. Very sad.
we've seem Hillary's last balloon drop.
Oregon will seal the deal for Obama.
Pantsuit woud need to take 70% from here on out.
Won't happen
plz dont feed the Obamabot trollz, it's well known Obama has staffers scouring blogs and posting misinformation and outright lies. Just wait it out and all these myriad Independents/repugs/70yr old women/outraged AA's/exClinton supporters that are actually 19yr old college kids volunteering at Obama campaign centers with no morals will be gone after he gets disgraced in a few more weeks. The Operation Board Games trials will bring him down and hard, all the chicago newspapers are beginning to announce upcoming articles. Even Fox news is getting revved up for a full expose on him which will be all about the scandals they have all been covering up until he gets the Dem nomination. Lets just hope Hillary runs as an independent.
I think now that Hillary has had her glorious West Virginia moment, she should gracefully concede the race NOW with her dignity intact.
It doesn't get much better for her from here on out, she might as well use this moment to her advantage and concede during the good moment to maximize her benefit.
She won WV because of the White Vote just like he won Mississippi because of the black vote. it is what it is.
It is Wedensday.

Fun facts from the Democratic popular vote race:
Obama's lead, including estimated
vote totals in caucus states
(which favors Obama) plus results
from Florida (which favors Clinton),
but nothing from Michigan: 411,915
Obama's margin of victory
over Clinton in Cook
County, Illinois: 429,052
(Obama's lead is from the Real Clear Politics total; Cook County result is from the Illinois Board of Elections website.) By other counts, Obama's lead is far less than his winning edge in Cook County. Only in counts which do not include either Florida or Michigan does his lead in the national popular vote exceed his margin in Cook County.
I grew up in North Dakota. It's also about 98% white and most of the people aren't investment bankers and technical professionals. Their Democrats went for Obama. Same for Iowa. Same for a bunch of white, rural states. So that makes West Virginia "special". What's that saying, "You can't help being poor, but nobody has to be 'common'"?
dennis @ 374
It's important to remember that Cook County (Hillary's home county) doesn't count. Not because there aren't enough "hard working white people" there, but because Hillary lost.
Only votes for Clinton should count, and, applying the proper algorithmic function and dividing by zero twice, it is clear that Obama's lead in states won, popular vote, pledged delegates and super-delegates is just an illusion.

The Dude @ 332:
As I said their are multiple possible etymologies for this term. I've heard yours and mine both mentioned.
there (spelling)
karen the answer to your question is yes! if your state has denighed you a divorce from your brother please note ! west virgina requires you take up residency with your brother for the time period of one year, ask him if hes willing to do so before you apply for a divorce there, and do not expect any favors because you are from another state , if you and your husb er brother meet all the requirements you will get shed of him in one month! congratulations on your decision to desolve your insestrial relationship god will bless you for it!
So Hillary is going to be WV's president?
Is Hillary's voice getting deeper and deeper?
Hillary Clinton is despicable, and I definitely think WV screwed the pooch a bit... but let's not shit on all of West VA over this - especially those of you who can't spell "incestuous" or locate the shift key. They have Biscuit Barn. Respect the Barn.

Having lived most of my life in a state that is so small and undistinguished that many people do not even know it is a state, I have an eerie feeling looking at news footage showing my precinct polling place and, apparently, my neighbors. All of this is played in a way that makes it sound like our state has SUCH a big role to play.
Gee, the eyes of the world are on us??? Really?
After so many months and so many other primaries, it feels like most of our choices have already been made for us. Indeed, our ballots listed three candidates with the third one being John Edwards. Remember him? I wonder if some of my fellow West Virginians may be voting for Hillary today in a futile gesture of contrariness just to show the media and everybody else that we people will make up our own minds thank you very much.
Oh, and we are all tuned to our televisions because ten minutes after the polls closed, the networks have predicted the Hillary has won the primary.

...hey, it beats watching Merkin Eyedull
....
Having lived in Asia and traveled widely in the remoter areas of rural China, and in Laos and other desperately poor countries, I have had an opportunity to see people who are truly ignorant about many things, but who are anything but stupid.
In a remote part of Anhui Province, back in the spring of 1992, for example, I visited a small village that had been completely inundated and destroyed a year earlier by an epic flood, which completely destroyed their rice fields and washed away their mud brick, dirt-floored homes. They had, in less than a year, rebuilt the town, and were preparing to plant a new rice crop. They were also, using nothing but their hands and wheelbarrows, building a massive levee that would keep the river at bay the next time around. The villagers had never seen an American in their lives, had no televisions or phones, and in most cases had never been farther than the next village, but they knew how to survive disasters that would have killed the average American.
....
I mention this because I am trying to imagine how the average American community would respond to a surprise visit by a couple of Chinese peasants from that village. I suspect that far from surrounding them and peppering them with questions about China, there would be calls to the local police to pick up to wandering vagrants. Instead of trying to communicate, and perhaps learn lessons about how to make gardens grow during a drought, local Americans would be studiously avoiding the visitors. An invitation to have dinner in a local home seems particularly unlikely.

Here’s a summary of some good reasons to consider supporting Obama. Share it widely with friends in Kentucky and Oregon:
http://acropolisreview.com/2008/04/top-reasons-to-give-barack-obama-your...
No offense to WV voters, but this is all much ado about nothing. West Virginia is no more critical than any other state... It is critical for Hillary as she has her back against the wall. But for Barack? I don't think so. Barack has built up a large enough cushion that is insurmountable for Hillary. After today, Hillary will have narrowed the gap back to where it was just before Indiana and North Carolina.
Here is a breakdown of the recent history of the delegates:
April 27: Obama by 105
May 5: Obama by 143
May 7: Obama by 159
May 12: Obama by 172 (net increase since the May 6th primaries: 13)
The gap continues to move in the wrong direction for Hillary. Hillary will gain approximately 12 or so delegates today, bringing the gap down to about 160. After next Tuesday, the gap will be about 145 or so (not counting any newly declared superdelegates).

L.A. Confidential @ 21:
We can only hope.
Hillary is declared the winner - what a momentum swing!
Well geez, some WV are voting for Obama!
sophiedog @ 88:
No, not "critical" but very, very telling. Its not about the nomination anymore its about the nominee....Why is the "presumptive nominee" getting his ass kicked big time now? That's trouble any way you cut it.
Johnny2Bad @ 95:
What is "telling" about this. WV voted for bush, TWICE. Maybe this should tell you that Hillary is more republican lite than Obama is.
Johnny2Bad @ 95:
It is called a bunch of rednecks voting, or is it hillbillies?

With this victory, Hillary has the perfect chance to bow out with a great deal of dignity and class. The last few months have been really disappointing to me, as I liked the Clintons when they were in office. This victory will give her a chance, if she chooses to take it, to educate WV on the importance of electing the Democratic nominee in November. She has substantial credibility in that state, and since this victory is only symbolic, she could use it to steer voters towards Obama.

It is quite sad, Hillary supporters are reduced to siding with the resident troll...
It is sad when you see people writing on a blog about how dumb voters are in WV while in the same posts making the lesser of evils argument.
i wonder if because obama is the presumptive nominee, obama backers didn't come out to support

A tasty wedge of pie. But cut to a thin sliver. Light taste. Less filling.

Very well may be. Why work when you can kick back and slide.
Janet @ 96:
Look, WV is a huge Dem state. (Everything is named after Robt. Byrd for gods sake) Always has been. Its also working class white. You need those voters in November...in every state. Besides...policy wise if Hillary is a "republican"...so is Obama cuz there ain't a wit of difference between em.
Johnny2Bad @ 95:
Is your family from WV?
Janet @ 96:
Score!

meh. let them have their fun. It's very very short-lived.
BigTobacco @ 99:
Yeah, that would assume that Hillary is in it for the good of the nation. However, so far we have seen that Hillary is first and foremost about one thing: Hillary.
You, me and this country really come at a distant third or fourth place.
So far we have a GOP nominee, McCain, who feels the white house is owed to him because he "took one" for the party when he had to swallow Bush Jr's shit during the 2000 primaries. And Hillary so far seems to have a similar sense of entitlement becasue she "took one" for the Clinton team during the fun and games of her public humiliation by her husband. After experiencing the "fun and games" that have been the past 8 years of Bush Jr. who felt entitled to the white house so he could work out his daddy issues, I am honestly not willing to have the white house become yet another therapy vehicle for some rich asshole.
Enough...
Being a woman is NOT a reason to be electable. Either is being a man, a mixed race person, etc.
Why are Americans such Dumbasses?
The Dude @ 97:
Huh. I call em "Americans". That comment is exactly why we lose. Fu*king, elite SOBs.
Johnny2Bad @ 106:
Robert Byrd? You mean the KKK?
The Dude @ 110:
It's what I have come to expect... but I am waiting for Hillary to surprise me. She's actually kind of a hero to me. It's hard for me to cope with.
Janet @ 113:
You can't be that stupid. Really...You just can't.
Johnny2Bad @ 112:
It is called a "fucking track record" I am tired of having people who consistently vote against their own interests crying me a river when they manage again to... taaaa daaaa: vote against their own interests.
West Virginia is literally owned by big coal, and what do the people in West Virginia do? They consistently voted *twice* for the guy who gave even more free reign to big coal. So spare me the victimization bullshit.
People are free to be idiots, so be it. I am also free to point out that they are just that: idiots. Nothing elitist about it, jeez.
