For allegedly being the "smart educated group", you are making a very dumb tactical move. A side note: I drove home from Co. last yr & driving thru West Virginia I was amazed at how beautiful it was. I commented on that to my wife...also Kentucky. Every derogaroty comment made by Obama's followers about West Virginia just pushes more voters away from him in Nov.

He doesn't even need to get close, he just needs to buy up some ads to make her buy what she can afford. They're just prolonging the inevitable, but if they want to keep limping along, that's fine with me.

What does she want? The Clintons' Vice Presidency? She is strong but the reality she came in with negative that she could not make up- Bill O' Reilly told her that too. When you as a mother running for the Presidency has to define yourself by alcoholic- there is a problem. This is not a sorority campaign for president. All the political pundits are singing, "Goodbye " to her campaign but not to her political career in another direction. Who pays her the 11 million debt? Certainly it will not be West Virginia voters or Kentucky? She is so one of us I suggest she sells candy bars and Clinton Cokkies at the county and state fairs. You think? AND?

Sure, the math is very unlikely to work for Clinton this time around. But like every other politician out there, she's gotta look out for #1. It doesn't mean it's right, but that's the way and life of every sick and twisted egomaniac running for office - especially at the presidential level. All politicians are the same, don't tell me otherwise. That said, Clinton is smart to continue and build her base for a possible if not likely 2012 presidential run. If Obama loses to McCain, then she's already ahead of the pack to challenge for 2012. No Obama and his core of black voters to deal with then. Losers get eliminated from contention: Dukakis, Gore, Kerry, etc... Four years isn't that far away, just think back to how quick college went by. Sure building her base of support, winning states, votes and delegates for Clinton now is akin to hitting a useless HR in baseball or scoring a TD in football when your team is gonna lose the game anyways. It might not matter now, but those stats still count when it's time to negotiate a lucrative contract. In Clinton's case, that would mean cashing in 2012.

What are people thinking? we can not put someone like that in the white house, are you kidding me? Regardless if she is expected to win this state or not, it's not a good enough excuse for obama to put the blame on this if he should lose. Obama thinks he has the nomination in the bag, but didn't anyone ever tell him that old saying? Dont count your chickens before they hatch.

First of all, you do realize that your candidate will need us Clinton supporters in the fall, right? We make up 49% of the Democratic Party. Second of all, I just don't get all the bashing if everyone is so certain he is the nominee. It's 3 weeks left of primaries, let everyone have a vote for crying out loud. Besides, I just don't think it would look so hot if she bowed out now and then he proceeded to lose WV, KY and PR to someone that was not in the race. She is doing him a favor, trust me.

When Bill Clinton ran for office in 1996 he got nearly 90% of the African Amercian Vote- Additionally, if Barack Obama was a republican he'd be getting less than half the vote. When Obama first started his campaign the majority of African American voters were Clinton supporters. Once they got to understand his persona and policies and to a large part his viability as a candidate they rallied around him. Pay attention to history- you can call it a double standard or racism but it's more about symbolism. It's hugely symbolic for an African American in a country that has a legacy of slavery and discrimination to be elected President- It puts those issues squarely in the past. White people understand this too. Finally there's a bit of psychology involved. When you're outnumbered, smaller, a minority or the underdog you tend to rally around what you consider to be your own. The "minority" psychology" isn't defined by race but can be. For anyone who says that blacks are voting by race are a little ignorant.
