She's got a hole in her bucket.

Yeah, losing by a 40-point margin in a demographic that he desperately needs to win over is nothing. Nothing at all. Keep on repeating that.

The polarizing white vote may even indicate that Obama is vulnerable to a McCain candidacy. McCain, the candidate chosen as scapegoat to receive a drubbing this year, may make it a contest.

So, the questions are, "Will there be a polarization of the white vote in West Virginia? What percentage of the vote going to Ms Hillary would be recognized as a polarization of the white vote? Would a 65%-35%, Hillary-Obama division scare the delegates? Would it be seen by delegates as a precursor of things to come, having a candidate with no coattails to help carry the other candidates?

losing by a 40-point margin in a demographic that he desperately needs to win over is nothing.

I didn't realize that WV was its own demographic.

Who won Iowa again?

Shhhhh. Those aren't really "white" folks. Everyone knows that only the South (being handed note with "North Carolina" on it)....oops, nevermind.

-Who won Iowa again?

Old-school, pre-Rev Wright Bitter Clingergate thinking at it's best, lmfao!!


He's lost what, 7 of the last 9? Lost WV, Lost PA, Lost Ohio, Lost FL......

If this keeps up, SDs will definitely stay put till after June 3rd, if only to see what happens with FL and MI.

And it may become apparent by then that race should not be the consideration, but that electability should.

Okay, am going to take a bubblebath now.

Obama has lead in SD's.

282 to 273. Let's see if that widens in the next few days, or does Hill catch up?

Except for the 27 that have gone toward Obama this past week alone, of course.

But don't let that bother you.

She will win 19 of the 28 delegates and Obama will take 8. Figures from CNN with 98% reporting. So she gains 11 pledged delegates in the Wset Virginia primary. Next week she should win Kkentucky and he should win Oregon. Then on June 1 she should win Puerto Rico and on June 3 he should round it out with two vivtories in Montana and South Dakota.
DNC meets May 31 to make some ruling on Flordia and Michigan which should drive the final nail in her coffin. Rules are rules Hill, you signed that agreement back last fall to abide by the decision of the DNC to strip Flordia's and Michigans delegates for moving there primaries ahead and now you are crying fowl because you are behind and want to use them. Tough break Hill.

Not even close.

The candidates were told that they needed to sign an agreement not to campaign in those states. Period.

Nothing about whether they agreed with the DNC ruling.

Since then the DNC approved re-votes in both states if the candidates would agree. Clinton did, Obama decided it was better to disenfranchise voters and lose the general than to lose them in the primary.
