Clinton has big lead in West Virginia poll
Hillary Clinton badly needs an overwhelming victory in the West Virginia primary on Tuesday to stave off elimination in the Democratic race. She might just get it, according to a new poll released this morning.
The survey, conducted by Suffolk University in Boston, gave Clinton a 60 percent to 24 percent lead over Barack Obama, who leads in overall delegates and popular vote. John Edwards, whose name remains on the ballot despite dropping out in January, received 4 percent, while 2 percent had no preference; 8 percent were undecided; and 2 percent refused a response.
Two thirds of likely voters said Clinton should stay in the race, regardless of what happens on Tuesday, and only 24 percent said she should withdraw. And 72 percent said she is not hurting the Democratic Party by running in the remaining primaries, while 20 percent said she is.
The state's voter demographics -- older, whiter, more rural -- sets up well for Clinton. And in a sign of trouble for Obama, his favorability rating (44 percent favorable, 41 percent unfavorable) was far lower than in other states and nationally, according to the poll. Clinton's favorability rating was higher: 70 percent favorable, 21 percent unfavorable.
The Democratic nominee has carried West Virginia in eight of the last 12 elections, dating back to 1960, but the poll suggests Obama faces an uphill battle. "Barack Obama may have to write off West Virginia come November," said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center.
The poll was conducted Saturday and Sunday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. Suffolk has had a reasonably accurate track record this primary campaign, except last week in Indiana last week, where its last survey gave Clinton a 6-percentage-point edge. She won by 2 percentage points.
Clinton also holds a wide lead in Kentucky, a state with similar friendly demographics which holds its primary on May 20.
The survey, conducted last week, shows her with a 58 percent to 31 percent lead over Obama, with 11 percent of voters undecided, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported Sunday.
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON is the right president for America.
VOTE - "MY AMERICAN MAMA" - HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON -PRESIDENT!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VETO-VETO--Barack Hussein Obama....NOT presidential materia.
VETO-VETO--Michelle Obama....very ANGRY, very DEPRESSING and 'ANTI-AMERICA' type.
Both, Barack Hussein and Michelle Obama are of the 'Anti-America' nature.
Both, Barack Hussein and Michelle Obama have 'Anti-America' friends and relationships in high places --- such as Rev. Wright Obama's mentor and pastor for 20 years shouting 'HATE AMERICA' 'HATE WHITES', etc. -- Tony Rezko the indicted fund-raiser,--Bill Ayers, etc.
Who would consider going to church Sunday after Sunday and hear their pastor shouting 'HATE AMERICA' 'HATE WHITES', etc. and just continue going to the same church, the same shouting -- and not have to begin thinking before 20 years that something is wrong with this picture-----Barack Hussein Obama and Michelle Obama.
~~~~SUPERDELEGATES need to do lots of serious soul searching and do what is right for America.....and SWITCH THEIR ENDORSEMENT FOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is the candidate that will produce the Democratic Presidential WIN for America.

GO HILLARY!!!!!
GO ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION!!!!
GO ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!
GO HILLARY!!!!!
Clinton all the way !!
Yawn
I think that it is very humorous that people are pretending this is still a contest.
The competition is building a bigger and more informed Democratic Party which will produce overwelling Democratic wins come election time this fall.
Go Hillary! The media and pudits have been trying to oust you from the race since before Hew Hampshire, then in Ohio, TX, PA and IN and EVERY SINGLE TIME you have come back with a win, why? Because the American people are not done voting or deciding who they want for their next President and MANY of us choose you! Alot of us are NOT happy with Obama as a choice - for many reasons. There is no reason to stop the Democratic process of the primary season we are in. Is it because she is a woman that they expect her to step aside and end this before we should? Give me a break! Her husband didn't get the nomination until late June and we all remember what happened when the last "assured" Democratic candidate looked to make it happen and got blown away in the GE (Kerry). The fact that the old boys club of Washington is rearing its ugly head and resting it on hypocritical shoulders (Kennedy, Kerry, Dodd, Richardson, etc. etc) is not surprising and frankly expected. How sad that they claim to be for all the people, but somehow it is "splitting" the party to continue on in a primary the way it was originally designed? If the superdelegates are supposed to now (against their design) vote with the people, then I for one am looking forward to those same superdelegates (see above) vote for Clinton as she won their states, overwhelmingly. Or, if they are supposed to exercise their judgment and vote whom they believe is the best candidate to beat McCain, then let them wait and decide at the convention. This strong-arming, and arrogant pushing for Hillary to quit, only serves to further polarize the very party they are trying to "unite". I, for one, vote for a PERSON for President, not a PARTY. She needs to run as an Independent if Obama gets the Democratic nod, and then we will see who has the support of the majority of Americans. This "for the good of the Party" stuff is so sophomoric and short-sighted. I have not intention of ever voting for an inexperienced, elitist politician with questionable ties and judgment, just because the "party" says I should. Hillary Clinton in 2008 or bust!
I really do not understand why people are calling on her to QUIT????She will win BIG in West Virginia and then Kentucky. and then she will probably win in Oregon, and the rest , she will win convincingly., and therefore she has the right to claim the Democratic Nomination. The corporate news media has made a BIG MISTAKE in calling the race for Obama. This lady knows what she is doing, and she will have the advantage to win the nomination. Right now. I do not think that Obama should be considered the nominee. There is Florida and something has to be done with Michigan. So I think Hillary will be the eventual nominee . She is right, no one is the NOMINEE yet. I believe it looks good for her. She will win in OREGON.
Mrs. Hillary Clinton should keep going till the very last Super Delegate casts his vote. She is the best bet for the Democratic Party. Barack Hussein Obama has neither the personality, stature nor any poltical achievement to show in the National arena. The remaining primaries can put Mrs Hillary on equal footing
with Barack Hussein and Florida and Michigan can tilt the balance in her favor.
After all is said and done the onus of choosing the right winning candidate rests on the supers as neither of the candidate has rached the finishing line on own numbers.
There is no reason to ask Mrs.Hillaary to hand over the Democratic nomination on a platter to Barack Hussein Obama as things stand.
I DO THINK (Clinton) IS THE BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY ! I THINK AT THIS TIME WE NEED A ( Different ) VIEW THE WAY TO RUN OUR COUNTRY BEFORE IT IS TO LATE! I THINK SHE WILL BE THE BEST ONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR AMERICA PEOPLE!
Hilary is sure winning the "state" of Denial!
it's a well known fact that the less education a person has the more likely they are to support hillary clinton. that she will sweep west virginia is inevitable and a dire condemnation of geo w bush's no state left behind initiative. www.saintpeterii.com
The race is over and for HRC to actually come out victorious she would have to prove Barack Obama is a spy or has been in a prostitution ring. I can agree to a point that keeping her int he race strengthens the Democratic Party, but who is she in it for now? It seems to me that the people are no longer giving her the money and that she is supporting herself. This isn't about the people anymore, but for her own self interest. I respect her ability to fight on, but it is time to end this if she is not within 80 delegates of Barack come June 3rd.
On a very general note, the problem with statistics is you can cherry pick which parts to report and omit others to create almost any impression you want.
I think it's reasonably likely that the survey was responsibly conducted, although they all tend to be rather spottily reported. Even though all the information stated may be factual, I would need to see all of the survey data to trust the interpretation given. But I understand that most people prefer their news predigested, and prefer to have a binary choice of viewpoints handed to them: Agree/Disagree. Sad, even pathetic, but true.
But to put this story in context, we are talking about one state among 50, with 5 electoral votes out of 538. That's less than 1%. Now there's a statistic you can sink your teeth into.
The Democratic contest is over and has been for a couple of months now. Obama can finally concentrate on on trying to defeat McCain in the GE. West Virginia will go to Hlllary but so what? She can contininue if she wants, but it's nice to see that battle for the general election has begun between Obama and McCain.
stick a fork in her, she's toast
"The state's voter demographics -- older, whiter, more rural -- sets up well for Clinton."
Funny, that's an exact description of North Dakota's demographics. He won by a long shot here, as well as in many other states she should have expected. Let's not get too carried away thinking WV represents all of the USA.
Oh yes, and "Sunny Florida," get off the elitist, inexperienced nonsense. Hillary wasn't even done with her first term in the Senate when Obama was elected to the Senate. Obama has plenty of experience, plus a working-class family and modest home compared to the other candidates.
Hillary is good fod president
If Hillary has divorced herself from Bill literally and figuratively I might be able to support her. I will not support someone who wants to run on her husband's coattails, who wants to annihilate Iraq, who talks about being "Commander in Chief" more than president and someone who plays the race card. Enough divisions in this country
Enough
She shoudl go quietly into the night....
Come on, we all know that everyone here that is voting for Hillary is Republican. The Democrats couldn't be that stupid.
I am a woman, Looking at Hillary makes me to feel how we all women race suffer to achieve anything in life. Hillaryis just an example of every women's struggle in this universe to get a leadership role in company, family, society...etc.
I wish her all the best from the bottom of my heart.
seems there are allot of blind, mis-informed people in sunny florida....
Well said, Sunny FLA!
"I have no intention of ever voting for an inexperienced, elitist politician with questionable ties and judgment...."
Strange thing for a Hillary supporter to say, since you just described her perfectly.
Clinton needs to step down this country does not need a women who closes her eyes to important issues, supports a endless war and deceives people. Just because she is a women is what is keeping her going. As a women I have never supported her and urge people not to. I have meet her and only feel contempt for her politics.
Come on people! do we conveniently forget how much Hillary was leading the polls by before the primaries started? This primary race was hers to lose, and she lost because the people voted more for Obama.
Now it's like watching the end of a chess game where one player only has a king left and is forcing the other player to spend the time to actually maneuver them into checkmate. It's disrespectful because the best she can hope for is a stalemate - which as far as the general election is concerned, is a loss for the Democratic party.
Snore snore...
When she won Ohio Hils said "as Ohio goes, so goes the nation" and implied that since OH wanted her to be president it was a done deal.
Gosh, didn't Obama win HI and a few other states by huge landslides? Guess what Hils, you are not running for President of the Ohio River Valley. You are running for President of the United States. And you are losing...
Are you Clinton people just blind or .....? Hillary Rodham Clinton KNOWS full well that she cannot win at this point. She is in this for herself, which is all she was ever in it for from the start of this campaign. What a waste of your time and vote to go out and vote for her!
I do hope and I do expect there to be a woman president of this great country someday, just NOT THIS WOMAN. She, nurse Rachet, will put this country on a bullet train to socialism. The pious, holier than thou, Billary!
I wonder what Hillary's position on the Endangered Species Act is? Anyone know??
It is to late to save the Obama run for President. The more people get to know him, the more they leave the room saying there is really nothing there but an empty suit.
The demographic that Clinton leads by a wide margin is in the white, uneducated, rural, racist population.
Posts like blongshag's above demean the political process, and insult American voters.
Ohioans were lied to by the Clintons.
NAFTA leak was NOT Obama, but ironically CLINTON aids.
Not to mention the Rush Limbaugh factor.
I want real change in Washington! Not politics as usual!
Don't be afraid....From here, we can only get better!
Its going to take a LONG time to come up from this mess.
But, even with blatant racism and the muslim propaganda,
Obama will win, and our country and WORLD will be better for it!
ONE RACE
by the way folks
Hillary has had 7 years in elected office
Barack Obama has had nearly 12 years in public elected office!
He has experience on both a state AND federal level.
Hilary got experience as president, Like Yoko was a Beetle!
Oh like West Virginia really matters in Democratic Primaries. Not a single Democratic candidate will ever be able to bring this state in November. It really does not matter if she wins this by 100%.
Hillary Clinton will be the best President of the USA in this time andshe shuld not damaged by the media.
When she win any State does not mean but Obama win it means win.As Obama received 16,700,000 total popular votes and Hillary has 16,600,000 ,there is no reason to leave the race.
We should listen to the voters otherwise Democrates will automatic honour the one other extention to Bush terms.
Hillary need to give up!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA for president
Hillary's ego seems to know no bounds. What exactly is the purpose of continuing this farce? She can't win unless Obama gets struck by lightning. The GOP are jumping up for joy as the only thing she can do is take away votes from Obama at this point and further cement division. Any graceful exit is now marred by her insistence on the impossible. Like Lieberman (whose ego also knows no limit), Hillary has placed herself above her constituents and her party. Her domestic platform is virtually identical to Obama's, BUT the added bonus of Obama is that he is newer and thus less beholden to special interests. Being vetted means becoming more a part of the dysfunctional system as it were. His foreign policy view is significantly better and is supported by academic analysts who have long called for dialogue with our adversaries in the world. The militarism and aggression advocated by McCain & to a lesser extent Hillary has been tried and has FAILED. First labeling Iran part of an Axis of Evil after they helped us deal with Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan managed to alienate and humiliate Iran's reformers (and the people who wanted to change the country) and then our current sabre-rattling has further given the clerics ammunition for domestic use (such as Hillary's irresponsible comment that we'd obliterate Iran if they launched nukes at Israel). Never the mind the fact that Iran is a long ways from having nukes and that Israel has one of the largest stockpiles on earth and would assure mutual annihilation, but the counter-productive nature of such a comment shows that she really is politics as usual. Her gas tax holiday is a blatant attempt at pointless populism. Posing on trucks and pretending to be one of the people is one thing, but supporting policies that won't help to meet US policy goals is something else entirely. Obama represents a real change IF people would simply look at the issues & study what each position's outcome could mean. OBAMA '08.
This is getting embarrassing. Now she's claiming she might get the popular vote. But that's not how this is decided. Before she claimed she could win the big states. But that's not how this is decided. She also claimed she'd carry the white vote. And the female vote. But those aren't how this is decided.
Too bad she just can't win by the same rules everyone else plays by.
Rules.
That's how this is decided. That's how government works.
Give it a rest she is all done, everyone knows it, the delagate numbers don't lie. All her super delagates are going to Obama now too. Face it she is just hurting the party at this point and putting herself in more debt. Doesn't the fact that no one will donate to her now tell you all something. No one backs a loser and that is what she is at this point, just spewing sour grapes. OBAMA 08!!!!
Its pretty obvious that Obama is who we NEED as our president. Clinton's put up a good campaign and I appreciate her sticking to it, but she's just not right for presidency. At least not now. Maybe she should reconsider after Obama serves his 2 terms.
There is a large segment of the population that simply does not like Obama which the supporters of Obama are loath to acknowledge. Hillary supporters are not all stupid, uneducated Rednecks as the Obama supporters often imply or say outright in hypocritical posts. Some supporters of Obama just don't get the message of their candidate. The overzealous Obama supporters are arrogantly overlooking the sophistication and educational background of a huge number of Obama supporters in their arrogance. There has been great damage done by the vicious attacks on Hillary and by the attitude of the more vocal Obama supporters. I for one do not want to be associated with these people. Today I'm switching my voter registration to independent, enough is enough. I won't vote for McCain, but if there is another choice than Obama you can count on it. The smart set seems to think they don't
need a lot of traditional Democrats to win in November. We shall see.
All this alleged stuff about Hillary hurting the dems is no more than Obama buying media! Obama can't compete with Hillary's intelligence and capability to be ready day one!
Hillary wins almost all the big states. Obama wins closed door caucuses of Starbucks Democrats. The entire media attacks Hillary for the last six months. Obama trashes the Clinton presidency which was eight years of peace and prosperity. The media claims Hillary played the race card in South Carolina when a look at the facts shows it was the other way around. Hillary doesn't get the nomination but she is a winner for coming so close in such an unfair contest.

It's over. Let's get together and we'll feel all right.
Clinton supporters here are demonstrating the low-info quotient of her base.
SHE'S DONE!
It is uneducated rednecks, like blongshag, that vote for hillary and mccain. If we translate the demographics, old dumb people vote hillary, while smart, young people with a college education vote for obama. Isn't it about time we had a president that has both a heart and a brain?
Elections bring out the worst kind of evil trolls.
CLINTON'S MISFORTUNE
Obama is where he is due to racism (polls show 92% of blacks for Obama), and media bias where the networks don't want to risk the race card accusation. In other words racism has been highly in Clinton's disfavor. Otherwise Obama would be history. Not something he or America should be proud of.
Isn't this the same state where a man won $300 million lottery and a few years later was broke and Bankrupt ?What a state when they can associate their values with one that wilfully lies. It is a state that has been left behind,Hope Hillary can bring them forward.
Interesting story about Obama and Larry Sinclair starting to grow on the web. If true, and Obama had an encounter with this man, no way Obama wins the presidency if he's the democratic nominee. Mark Foley and Jim McGreevy covered up their secrets for a while. Let's see what comes out of the closet here.
Comes down to this imho.. if it's Obama/McCain who are blue collar/rural/trailer park white folks going to vote for? If it's Clinton/McCain who are African-American's going to vote for?
The Globe's bias against Clinton is so pervasive that I'm strongly considering canceling my subscription.
I yi yi. shame on you Hillary, shame on you. Please , no more crying , it's not going to work a second time.
Wake up America!!! HRC has been in American politics for how long? She is a known entity. Barrack Hussein Obama? Where the &^%&@ did he come from. Nobody knows his 'background'...yet. His 'father' for the last 20 years is Jeremiah Wright who without a doubt has shaped his morals and constitution. President of the USA? His wife was proud to be an American for the first time a few months back when her husband won a state? She is the next first lady? Come on, wake up you America!!
Being a West Virginian, I find it odd that all of the polls say THERE IS NO WAY Obama has a shot in the state of WV. Absolutely EVERYONE that I have spoken with who is a Democrat in the state of West Virginia is for Obama, including myself and MY ENTIRE family (and I come from a VERY LARGE Italian family).
Hillary is always talking about "all of the experience she has". What experience? Does being the wife of a president count as experience? Since when? Could someone say - "I am the best doctor here. Look at all of my experience. I mean, my husband is a doctor?" THAT IS ABSURD!!! She is a pathetic liar that just needs to, as Kenny Rogers put it "KNow when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run"!
He'll win Oregon by a similar margin. They won't fall for her gimmicks there. Oregon will show that he can win primaries in states where there are plenty of Whites.....just like he did in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
GO HILLARY! THANK YOU FOR REPRESENTING ALL THE FIRST LADIES OUT THERE WHO KNOW WE CAN BE PRESIDENT! YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN!
5 FACTS ABOUT BARACK OBAMA
1.) HE IS HALF BLACK AND THEREFORE NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT.
2.) HE IS A MAN AND THEREFORE NOT QUALIFIED TO BE FIRST LADY.
3.) HE IS NOT RICH ENOUGH TO BE PRESIDENT.
4.) HE HATES AMERICA.
5.) HE IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE BOHEMIAN CLUB.
ONLY YOU CAN DO IT HILLARY! KEEP THIS MOST SACRED OFFICE OUT OF THE HANDS OF THE INTERLOPERS!
It is starting to come out now that most part of Obama's money came from welfare and financial aid recipients. Obama and his campaign know about it and they have been encouraging it. Basically they have been taking government tax payer money to fund their campaign. Bush administration should look into it and take the necessary steps so that these people who have been stealing government money when they don't need it and giving it to politicians pay the price. And Osama and his financial committee need to be thrown in jail.
Clinton is just using West Virginia to get the money she loaned her campaign back through fundraising on the back of a win. She's pulling the wool over your eyes West Va. Just like she tried with that phony gas tax holiday thing that she knew would only line the pockets of oil company execs.
Obama is where he is due to racism (polls show 92% of blacks for Obama), and media bias where the networks don't want to risk the race card accusation. In other words racism has been highly in Clinton's disfavor. Otherwise Obama would be history.
African-Americans are 13% of the population, and he's beating her on popular vote (among all other measurements), so somebody else is voting for him... hmmm... who could it be...? Please grow beyond the race thing, and the woman thing, it's about inspiration and perspiration. The greatest leaders in history were fantastic and elloquent speakers, never lifted a shovel to do the work themselves, but could motivate and mobilize armies of citizens to action. Obama's resume is sufficient to the task.
And FL is where NY-ers go to die, so it's no surprise that it's going with The Big C- as I like to call her.
Lets be real...
The whole Democratic ticket race has become a white/black race issue!
The whole stink about Obama's "bitter" comment was just an out for those looking for an excuse to not vote for him because he is black.
I'm white and I can see it. So can many others.
Lets all move into the 21st century and give this guy an honest shot!~
For the second half of the primaries Hillary has been told to drop out. Why? Was it already predetermined that the DNC wanted Obama to be their man? Now you're reading she's going to damage the party if she keeps talking. Hasn't Obama, his wife, and Rev. Wright said enough to damage their party? This election year turned out to be one big joke. She's been bashed right and left but you can't say a word about Obama! Why is that? Women will always be expected to sit at the back of the bus! I will no longer be a Democrat because this whole process has been so UNDEMOCRATIC!
Michelle as first lady...ugggggggg..she is to angry a woman to be there.....she is his achilles heel
Obama must pay the price for stopping the first woman president. He must also pay the price for insulting the intelligence of millions of elderly, and millions of blue collar workers. We remember how the Clintons fought for us in the 1990s. In November you will see millions of us defect to McCain. It's not about the issues anymore - it's personal now. Obama was thoughtless, and he will pay for it.
I like that the first comment here made reference of Obama's middle name. Anything to make the guy look "more terrorist." Ignorant, racist, backwoods states like ours. Give me a break. You know, I just heard a guy today complain about Obama being Muslim, and then talked about how awful his preacher Rev. Wright is. I'm not kidding. Some people need to just not speak, so the rest of us can advance. I also keep seeing "Clinton in the lead because of rural, older, whites." In other words, backwoods racist old folks, stuck in the 19th century.
>it's a well known fact that the less education a person has the more likely they are to support hillary clinton.
I really doubt this. Whenever the media refer to the 'less educated' group, they refer to the less educated Whites exclusively. African Americans as a whole are far less educated than Whites/Latinos/Asians and 90% of them voted for Obama. Also, older people usually have less formal educations but they are no less 'educated' than the 20 somethings attending a fifth-tiered college. So overall, I doubt if supporters of Clinton are less 'smart' that Obama's.
>This is getting embarrassing. Now she's claiming she might get the popular vote. But that's not how this is decided. Before she claimed she could win the big states. But that's not how this is decided.
Hillary is making these claims to the superdelegates who ultimately decide the nominee. Obama can't get to 2025 by pledged delegates either and he too will have to make claims to the superdelegates. Use a little bit of your fifth-tierd college IQ please, Obamaniacs!
Two Bushes, two Clintons and Obama in a pear tree. What a choice.
Hillary should campaign until she gets the boot by the voters and superdelegates at the convention.Obama continues to show signs of criminal associations with Resko,Penatagon terrorists and more to come as the surface is scratched.With 11 % of the overall population,and a big problem getting hispanics to vote for him,Hillary is the only electable and viable candidate for democrat executive office.Dukakis,Gore,Carter,Mondale,Kerry and others have no place advising her what to do.Sharpton who owes taxes and Wright do not speak for the black churches but Wright did say he did.Wright played the race card against his man Obama and now the chickens come home to roost.Weathermen criminal,REsko,Wright and more to come make obama a shoootin star.Leave the woman alone at least she was in church on Mother's day with her daughter.She is not afraid of the American flag lapel pin and she voted correctfly to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.Hussein obama voted with the cowards.
Who are the real racists here, Obama gets 90% plus of the black vote and it is accepted without question. What percent of black voters have only voted for him based on the fact that he is the “Black candidate”?
"To me, there's no doubt, there's a movie to be made on this campaign, and made even objectively, Hillary would be the villain and Obama would be the hero."
That's a quote from an interview with Rod Lurie, director of The Contender and Commander in Chief, two of the most important films about women in presidential politics. The interview just went live at Film.com
http://www.film.com/dvds/story/qa-commander-chief-director-rod/20778341
Now here is why Obama is not winning the rural, less-educated, blue collar white votes - these folks are racist to the core and would rather have a sleazy white woman in office rather than a bi-racial person.
Its not Obama's inability to get this vote thats shameful rather these people's reluctance to look beyond the racial barrier.
Shame on white folks in West Virginia! Lets forget the race and vote for the best interests of America!
LOL-all the OB supporters talking about the irrevelance of Hillary's likely wins in WV when they crow about his wins in Alabama, Miss, SC-about as Red as you can get and certainly McCain country.
Speaking of math-I don't hear any of you crowing about his EV prospects based on historical voting patterns-and you are angering so much of the Democratic base that his triangulation strategy (which the Republicans used so effectively with wealthy whites and Evangelicals) is going to be busted. As a yellow dog Dem would not be so foolish as to vote for McCain, but would certainly consider staying home or writing in HRC.
So the African Americans vote in a block for Obama.
We should do the same for Hilary!
This is why the DNC cant win an Election. Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi, your both responsible for this fiasco of a Primary. Good luck winning in Nov, since you have basically told MI and FL that they dont matter. HIllary is the only one that can get the votes needed. Obama Hussien wont win in Nov, so stop fooling yourselves. Again the DNC is just trying to be PC by trying to push a black candidate for president. People say its not about race but it is, so wake up. VOTE Hillary, Obama is a loser and will not get my vote.
Will the west virginia guys really let the clintons take their guns away. bill clinton went after the guns in america like he was having frenzy! must be a one worlder prime goal. He had the head of smith & wesson in tears!

I notice in the comments you don't allow anyone speak who doesn't say what you wan't them to. This is temporary and will soon be fixed. Free speech is for everyone. I'm sure you won't post this either!
Not a racist or bias. But does Mr Obama have the right experience ? As Mr President, you are basically the Head of military, CIA and all the important may perhap top secret agency.
Does Mr Obama have that link and the support ?
If not, it will be a mess of bottleneck latter
For me, I support my own races if the qualities are equal. But if a person from the other side are better and will bring progress to all, than I will be voting for that person even when he or she has a different colour skin.
How about religious organization, the god support ? Which side are they with ?
Since there's no more interesting debate in this post, i'm gonna tickle a bit, here we go:
Tony B:
"Who are the real racists here, Obama gets 90% plus of the black vote and it is accepted without question. What percent of black voters have only voted for him based on the fact that he is the “Black candidate”

To Jeff:
"Obama must pay the price for stopping the first woman president. He must also pay the price for insulting the intelligence of millions of elderly"
----------------------You sire, amaze me. Mr Obama man will go back to his mansion, with his lovely wife, 2 kids and millions of dollars, while you, and your buddies who voted McDaddy will keep living in the dirt the same as now, with the current policies... go ahead, shoot yourself in the foot... Also, as an interesting note, maybe SHE should pay for preventing the first non-white non-rich guy from becoming president...
ClearThinker:
"Barrack Hussein Obama? Where the &^%&@ did he come from. Nobody knows his 'background'...yet. His 'father' for the last 20 years is Jeremiah Wright who without a doubt has shaped"
-----------------------------------------------Sir or madam, you "could" know where he came from if you actually did some research. I actually like to use my brain thingie and do some investigating myself, why don't you wait for Fox news to tell you how he eats white blue collar babies at night...
Adrian:
"Elections bring out the worst kind of evil trolls."
-----Why yes sir, you are totally right, and that comment made my night, thank you, hopefully them little silly trolls will go to bed and think a bit about their families and about how to solve their economic issues, apparently the bombastic attitude of Mr Obama is melting their little nuts-for-brains and they can't use it no more :(
If Hillary and Obama don't come together to be on one ticket, none of them will win over McCain. Also, decmoracts don't know how to be political. It will be disaster if Obama and Clinton are not on one ticket. Many democrats are going to vote for McCain.
Since there's no more interesting debate in this post, i'm gonna tickle a bit, here we go:
Tony B:
"Who are the real racists here, Obama gets 90% plus of the black vote and it is accepted without question. What percent of black voters have only voted for him based on the fact that he is the “Black candidate”
