I can't believe that 75% of WV democrats are going to go out and vote for a dead-end candidate. What is the matter with you people!!??? Is your fear of people who do not look like you THAT great? You would rather vote to prolong the agony and decrease our future nominee's chances in the GE than pull the lever for the black guy? Democrats must unite and close the ranks! This is not fun and games in Lala-land, you're deciding the future of our country here. WV never stops to shock and amaze me.. It's like a different planet out there.

Hillary's chances are about the same as Ron Paul's.

Wake up Democrats, Hillary is not breaking up the party – it's already broken and has been broken for years. It broke when we started allowing anyone to run as a dem, even when their beliefs went against the party's platform (ie, Bob Casey). So now we have progressive dems, conservative dems, moderate dems. Give me a break! This primary is showing us that the time to start a new party of the people is at hand. Obama and Bob Casey can keep the old party and the rest of us will move to the new party.

If Obama is the nominee, women will stay home in droves or they will vote, but they will not vote for a presidential nominee. Instead, we will look at our superdelegates and vote against every one of them that supported Obama and therefore supported of a well-devised machine to make sure that a woman does not become president. Obama has done well to make sure that we are all on edge because he is black. We are all so afraid to make it seem like we are racist that we are tripping over ourselves to make sure that we definitely arent. The democratic party is being played by a well-funded marketing machine. Obama is all flash like a new sneaker – all shiny but with unnecessary features and manufactured by children in developing world factories.

Has no one gathered what the problem is here. The media had to be for Obama if not they were racist, so the average Joe has to be the same, If not they are racist also.
Nothing to do with race I agree with Mr.Romney what has he (Obama ) ran or been in charge of this will be like a major Company giving their night watchman the CEO position.

We all better pray that he will choose to surround himself with some intelegent cabinet members that are not ready to blow up some country.

To the Obama supporters, if Gore had carried WV he would have been President. So is WV important. Of course. I early voted for Senator Clinton and then filled out paperwork to change to Independent. The DNC and the Obama supporters do not care about my vote. The way my candidate has been treated by the media, some Democrats and nasty blogs I will vote for McCain in November. The DNC will not hold Roe vs. Wade over my head. Would a large company hire for its CEO someone with 3 years of experience. Again of course not. Just words.

Really starting to beleive democrats are RETARDED !

you people planing to vote for Mccain if your candidate is not the nominee are just RETARDED. GO AHEAD vote republican, but dont complain when :

- we loose soldiers, ( sons, spouse, father, brother sisters ) 100 is long enough to make sure you'll loose someone.
- When the USA becomes a third world country with a président that does not have a clue about the economie

Jesus, democrat are either retarded, undeducated, or plainly stupid !
dont get it....

Republican would never make that error, that s why they'll always be richer, more consistant then democrats.

why is there so much negativity against OBAMA from the Hill Clan, are we not all for the same party. It just suprises me how some people mainly Hill's so called supporters are really Un educted as she suggests to abandon the party if she isnt given the nomination. What does that say about loyality. Although you are allowed to vote anyway you choose it just boggles the mind to know how her Clan are prepared to jump over board and commit political sucide. Go ahead then take your sorry votes to McSane who cares nothing is gonna change SHE CANT WIN.

West Virginia is indeed a swing state. Bill Clinton won WV in 1992 and 1996 and Bush won in 2000 & 2004. The democrats should win this state back in November. However, if Obama is the nominee, the democrats will have zero chance in winning WV.

Everyone is talking about Hillary Clinton is more electable. Well lets break this down.

Barack Obama will have no problem beating McCain in the general election and this is how he will get it done.

WA – 11
OR – 7
CA – 55
CO – 9
MN – 10
WI – 10
IL – 21
MO – 11
LA – 9
MI – 17
OH – 20
GA – 15
VA – 13
NY – 31
ME – 4
VT – 3
MA – 12
RI – 4
CT – 7
NJ – 15
DE – 3
MD – 10
DC – 3
HI – 4
Total 304 Electoral Votes (only 270 is needed to win)

If anyone doubts OH, for argument sake let’s remove it from the number and you get 284, he still WINS.

And don't doubt LA and GA. He is going to win both.

Is Ron Paul still in the race?

How about those Huckabee supporters now voting for Obama? How confused could people be?

I think it is unfair that everyone seems to think the nomination is wrapped up. I live in Kentucky. Does my state not count? Does W. VA not count? Hilary has the democratic right to continue in the race.

Some of us Democrats do not believe that Obama can win against McCain. He has no history, we know nothing about him or his strengths. Do you go to a surgeon for heart surgery that has only been practicing for a couple of months?

Add Michigan and Florida numbers to the count and Hilary is actually doing quite well. Hang in there Hilary!

I live in Kentucky and am a democrat. I will be seeing Obama campaigning today in Louisville. I think this will be the deciding factor of who I will vote for. I think its absolutely crazy and damaging that Hillary and her supporters claim..they will win states like WV and KY..because they are predominantly white..and uneducated. Who glorifies in that kind of stereotype? You just put the writing on the wall..when you say you wouldn't vote for him in November. Its because of people like that..that Bush got 2 terms in office. We need CHANGE!

Thanks Governor Manchin,for your candid remarks ,and unwavering support of this race going on. I happened to be awake last night when the "CNN" commentator was interviewing you,and I thought you did a great job and handle it as well as anyone.....despite his most underhanded tactics. I'd like for everyone to keep in mind that if 89%-92% of the African-American caucus is voting for Obama,that any remaining group,left to vote for anyone,would ,due to this absence of the black voters, have to be predominently white,or hispanic ,or something. And simply describing the group's make-up,is not a bad thing or a racist thing.

West Virginians,Since Senator Obama is both black and white, If you don't want to vote for the black half , vote for the white half. (SEE HOW
STUPID PREJUDICE SOUNDS?).

Voting for McCain if your candidate doesn't win? Yeah. That's really a smart strategy. Maybe since we are not winning in Iraq, we should just join forces with Osama Bin Laden. What do you guys think?

I guess I am not surprised with these type of comments given the demographics of who is voting for Hillary.

Good for him! Reality rules!

God Bless those lil ol' rednecks in West Virginia. Maybe Hillary can teach her white racist, uneducated, blue collar worker supporters.......MATH.

To the rest of West Virginia have your primary, let your voice be heard and let your motivation be for what is BEST FOR ALL AMERICANS.

Go Hillary!!!

I can not stand that guy!!!!!! Who cares what he can speak – it is all staged. He CAN NOT CARRY THE BIG STATES!!!! and wait when republican will take they shot - the news people will stop handaling him with such care.

He's a smart young man. Who's delusional are the Obama supporters, and I'm a Black Male. I don't understand why the Obamanites feel so threatened with Hilliary continuing the race when no one has been declared a winner.

I use to feel partianship was what mattered, but after speaking to some of my friends, if Obama is not the nominee, they will refuse to vote. So I feel the same now, if Hilliary isn't the nominee I will not vote.

The DNC has made a mockery of the election process. Florida should count as it was presented, and Michigan should be divided in half. The Superdelegates shouldn't feel theartened to vote for whomever they choose, instead of being worried about constiuents.

I vote for Ms. Hilliary Clinton

Obama's inspiring but Hillary's a leader and people know this. She should pursue this to the end and i find it to be outrageous for Obama supporters to be calling for her end, I know they are better than that and want a Democrat in the white house first and foremost.

Will Senator Clinon ever come clean on the Peter Paul vs Hillary and Bill Clinton Case?

This Clinton family feel like they are above the Law?

Obama claims he has the 'educated' vote. With all the hate spewed by his supporters, he seems to have the immature vote. Get a grip people. Don't alienate Hillary supporters with your hate – you need them to stand a chance in November.

I see too many saying they won't vote for Obama, all because of your hateful comments. Obama doesn't have all the educated voters and Hillary doesn't have all the hard-working voters – but we will have McCain as president if you haters don't get it and change your tune.

Obama, you say you unite, but your supporters divide. Look beyond your inner circle and see what is happening in the real world.

WV needs to embrace changes to grow away from the coal mines and bring prosperity to the people. WV please refuse nickles and dimes that are promised by the Clintons government.

Of course the West Virginia Gov. is not going to cal it for Obama yet. After the primary I'm sure he will. It's an effort in futility for Clinton anyway. There is no reason for her to still be campaigning. The window of opportunity close for any chance for the VP spot after the North Carolina and Indiana primaries. It is time for the Obama camp to start considering a VP. Which i think should be a woman and there are plenty to choose from. For example and worth consideration, democratic, Governor Sebelius from the "red state" Kansas. She has excutive and legislative skills and family ties to the "red state" Ohio, her father was democratic governor there. It would be a bonus to for his ticket for the obvious reasons.

How many people really care about all of these whining Clinton people crying that they will vote for McCain now?? I think you people are all pitiful and childish. I hope this is posted but you people need to look in a mirror and admit to your self that your Racial hate is stronger than your love for your country. I think you SHOULD vote for McCain just stop lying to US and YOURSELVES at to the reason why. We are not Stupid!

Go support McCain PLEASE and stop crying about it. Just GROW -UP

From Wikipedia:

"Education in West Virginia: West Virginia has received low marks for reading and math skills at the eighth-grade level and ranked 51st in college education rates."

THAT'S Hillary's constituency–in polite terms, the "low-informed." And what they do tomorrow has a virtually negligible impact on the final outcome.

So all you good ol' boys who still think Obama took his oath of office on the Koran and secretly practices the Muslim religion can cast your vote for the "hard-working white" chick. To put it in your vernacular, "it don't mean a thing."

To Helen,

Please do so – You are the one who needs healthcare and good benefit... not Obam!

Think, open up, be smart.....

I can not understand why any women would vote for McCain over Obama. Look at McCain's age, now try to relate his age to his general thinking when it comes to women. He will never stand up for womens rights, job, pay, etc. because it was born in the old age thinking that women should be like his mother. Stay home and take care of the family. Some things you just can not reprogram in the old males mind. It's like trying to break an old habbit that you don't really want to break. It just won't happen.

West Virginia did not have a chance to vote for their candidate. Dodd or Biden or any other candidate was no longer in the race by the time they get to vote. Is that democracy? This process needs to be changed to a vote all states all on one day, just like the general election. This year long process is just a scam. The networks talk about it everyday.

The question is not that Obama cant win, because he has already won the nomination. The question should be, Can he win in November? The best prediction for the future is the current even. If Hillary could not win her own party, how does she win the general elections?
Think people!

Does this mean the small states count now?

Or only the small states that vote for Hillary?

Go Hillary...!!!!!!.
If my FL vote does not count . I will vote for Mccain..

Thank you Governor for you upcoming support in the fall, now for the Hillary Clinton supporters thank you for you standing by her as well and I speaking for the Obama supporters we look forward to working with you in the fall to take back the White House.

United We Stand "Yes We Can" All Democrats we must work togather.

I welcome the votes from the other states.. We must move one on this is over.....

Obama 08

Obama is an oportunist who saw a chance to divide the base of the democratic party and took it.
Hi is a man w/o any experience to his name, a racist minister who inspired him to write a book and prayed with him ...hmmm for 20 years. BO maninpulated us all with the phony race speech that only worked on the press and then by working w Wright to cook up a "spectacle" at the National Press Club so BO would be (so sadly and watch me manipulate you dumb white Americans) could have and excuse to flip off Rev. Wright.
OB has the principles of slime.. and enjoys manipulating us silly voters.
Don't vote for the Grand Manipulator and Great Divider.
McCain or Hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is a Muslim who says he is a Christian! Hillary is our only hope, he can't be elected. Don't be fooled by the slick talking Obama! We're at war with the Muslims, don't elect one President of the U.S.

Obama 08
Osama 09

DON'T YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS BLAME HILARY IF AND WHEN OBAMA LOSES IN NOVEMBER.

HE IS UNELECTABLE. THE DNC HAD BEEN WARNED. HE HAD NOT WON THE CRITICAL SWING STATES NOR THE DEM BASE STATES OF CALIFORNIA, NJ, MA.

SO DON'T PUT HIS IMPENDING LOSE TO HILARY. SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO CONTINUE HER CAMPAIGN. WHAT HE BRINGS TO THE TABLE IS ANOTHER STORY. HOW HE WILL GET SCRUTINIZED FOR A CHANGE IS OUT OF ANYBODY'S HANDS.
IT'S ALL ON HIM.

One thing that annoys me is that the media is all over Hillary saying that she should not of made the remarks she did the other night about the white vote etc.., If you listen clearly to what she was saying, she actually was referring to a ap poll that was done. No where in the interview did she come up with this herself. Listen clearly people, and stop pointing the finger when you clearly dont know the facts. The media is great at spinning everthing. Obama and his followers are the ones playing the race card.

Proud West Virginian May 12th, 2008 1:33 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
It sickens me to read all the comments from narrow minded, igonorant, smug people that stereotype West Virginians as backward, uneducated, racist people. Just because we don't want your candidate that makes us ignorant racists? Well, I've got news for you…racism exist everywhere, I will even bet that you have some predjustics yourself because everyone does. Most of you are hypocrites.

Don't tell be about racism when over 90% of blacks in not just a few states…But all states, are voting for Obama. If you don't see this as a slap in the white man's face….THEN YOU ARE THE IGNORANT PERSON!

Has it ever occured to you that maybe some of us West Virginians are voting for Clinton because of our overall satisfaction with the Clinton Administration of the 90's? You fool yourself when you believe that going forward is always the smart thing to do….sometimes we get off track and the smart thing is to go back.

Maybe we prefer Clinton over a STRANGER that we know very little about….and essentially that's what Obama is…I mean, let's be honest, how many of us even heard of him until recently? You Obama supporters magnify every mistake Hillary may make but EXCUSE everything about Obama. You can't honestly think that he listened to his pastor for 20 years and he had no idea that his pastor was an angry bitter person who hated whites.

And lastly, what are you intelligent, smug people from your 'SUPERIOR STATES' so proud of….your higher crime rates?

nuff said and we don't need you in the democratic party. Go join Joe Lieberman and the rest of the traitors.

Who cares! Hillary has already told us that her " White Hard Working" (*wink wink*) constituency will not support Barack. We all got the message last week and the polls truely indicate that there are some who still blinded by the color of someone's skin.

It's 2008 people. Let's move on!

This is one Hillary supporter that will no longer vote Democrat if Obama is the nominee . . . I've had it . . . sitting back and observing how she's been treated throughout this whole thing has turned me sour against the Democratic party . . . she should have won a long time ago . . . she got screwed . . . purposely.

JMO May 12th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Obama will NOT get my vote ~ not even if he manages to convince Hillary to run for VP. I have been a democrat since JFK but I will vote a straight republican ticket if Obama is nominated. I cannot, in good conscience vote for him. He does not have a clue about being president and I think he's more of a demagogue than Bush – he will listen to no one. I don't believe McCain is Bush term 3 and I feel much more comfortable with him than I do Obama. Of course, if the democrats wise up and run Hillary – WE ARE SAVED!!!!

GO HILLARY GO ~ RISE HILLARY RISE ~ FLY HILLARY FLY
_____________________________________________________

First, you are probably not that old to have voted for JFK. Second, you said that Obama will listen to no one like Bush.

This is the funny thing about Clinton supporters, the reasons that you give for not voting for Obama are reasons that are actually ones that apply ot Hillary.: I don't trust him (Bosina, gas tax scam,etc); He will not listen to anyone if he's president (230 economist that said that the gas tax is a horrible idea). Please give me an example of what makes yuou think Obama wll be a demagogue?

Obama '08

Hey!! WV and KY She is $20,000,000 in debt! Careful of all of those IOUs they have been leaving all over the US and not paying. Get your $$$ upFRONT.

A Line for $20,000,000 is a LOOOOOOOOOOONG Line to wait in. Be Careful.

We'll just perpetuate it if we elect Obama, Deanna.

If Obama gets nominated my husband and I and several friends will vote for McCain. He has the experience even though we have been against Bush for 8 years, McCain will be better able to lead this country.
Go Hillary

If Hillary can't win the Democrat Primary how in GOD name can she win the GE.

People wake up. Hillary is only Great in your head.

Obama/Webb 08

Clinton supporters are drinking too much Kool-Aid. However, with limited money there will be no more Kool-Aid, therefore we will have lots of Junkies running around.

I hope McCain can afford to give them new Kool-Aid. Or they can come to Obama's Rehab Center.

Obama will bring change to Washington. No more Kool-Aid. CHANGE
OBAMA 08

Look all of this is just practical behavior by a govenor who's state will vote heavily for Clinton tomorrow. It's her base, poor, uneducated, blue collar white voters (from her lips to my ears). But it's really all smoke and mirrors.

I've stopped listening to anything her or her handlers have to say. Once this is all over with, I'd highly recommend that they all apply for writers positions with the SciFi channel.

precious...remember not voting is letting some one make a decision for you. Not voting means you have given up your right to say anything about the next administration.

OBAMA08

WE Clinton's supporters do not care about your rationale or your hate which are the same thing by the way. We care about facts which is something Obama has not presented by the way just copied Hillary's programs and proposals.

The reality is that HIllary's supporters will not vote for Obama in the general election in big number and we have the right to decide whether we think McCain is better for our country that Obama. McCain by the way does have a record to prove he has worked with the Democeratic Party during many years which is something Obama has not.

ABAJO OBAMA! OBAMA GO BACK TO CHICAGO WITH MICHELLE AND YOUR FAMILY and start real work for your community

I will not vote for any person that wants to be PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , AND..

THINKS CANADA HAS A PRESIDENT
THE GREAT LAKES ARE IN OREGON
THERE ARE 57 STATES IN THE UNITED STATES

HELLO,,,,,,AND YOU ALL THINK HILL SUPPORTERS ARE DUMB>>

WOW and the Sun will come up from the EAST in the morning. CMON CNN this is not even close to news.

Just go Ahead a call KY and WV Wins for Hillary Clinton it is already old news. She still loses, Obama IS our Nominee and inspite of wanting it to look like there are still big surprises like this lets move on!!

Now every simpleton who wants to be on the news can just say HILLARY IS GOING TO WIN!!! And you put them out? Sheesh!! THIS is how this delusional mess has gone on as long as it has thanks to the media.

GO HILLARY GO ~ RISE HILLARY RISE ~ FLY HILLARY FLY

GO AWAY – RISE UP AND GO TO NY – FLY AWAY

OBAMA 08

suzy (you typed in all caps) . . . are you serious? Obama visited WV before PA voted. He is in WV today. You ask, "What more do you want?" How about integrity, honesty, a first family to be proud of and not ashamed of, a president who will not look at the American people in the eye (maybe even wag a finger) and lie and then blame lack of ethics . . . I mean sleep.

Hillary should not drop out. All the remaining states who have not broken the DNC rules should vote and have their delegates seated at the Convention. Obama will be the Democratic Nominee. Let's rally to the Democratic Party and make sure the Republicans don't have the power to continue to ruin this country.

Hillary is not getting votes becuase she is the best candidate. No one really believes that Hillary can do a better job than Edwards, let alone Obama.

Most People are voting for Hillary because:
1. they can NEVER vote for a Black man; they still believe that Black people are "inferior."

2. they want to see a "woman" serve as president, even when that "woman" has poor judgement, has divisive character, is dishonest and so on.

Every day, I look at myself in the mirror and ask: How will God, in his infinite wisdom, allow Black people and White people to enter the gates of Heaven? May be "death" is the answer to my question– the "skin/body" does not really matter; it is all DUST and to dust it will return!!! Thank you Lord for the insight!!!

Out with Obama and in with Clinton. He cannot win in November. It will never happen. The Democrats are hurting themselves if they think he can stand up to a "swift boat" attack from the Republicans. What we don't already know about Obama will be told in detail by McCain et al and I looke forward to more truths about this empty shell of a candidate to be made public.

OK

I'm an Obama supporter:

Obama has inspired me because:

His mother got pregnant as a teenager.

She had children with exotic men from around the world.

Obama got to go to Catholic and Private schools.

And his mother still qualified for food stamps.

Now THOSE are achievements to be proud of.

Ya know it's funny, The vast majority of folks that don't like Hillary are NOT black.

There are more white folks that don't like Clinton than black folks... (Republican and Democrat)

So why are you blaming Obama supporters or blacks for her shortcomings?

Missouri the one and only swing state that he barely won. Yes go campaign Obama for you surely need them in those critical swing states. Goodluck with Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Penn. You can add New Jersey too.
I don't see you winning any of them. Therefore get ready for McCain folks.

DEMOCRATS BEWARE!!!

A lot of neo-cons posing as Democrats are posting hate mail. They're trying to drive a wedge between us!

RESIST THE NEOCON HATE MACHINE!

Mccain, that worthless old fart, was never a POW, his rich daddy sent him on vacation to avoid the war.
Obama 08

Deanna, If Obama wins by some miracle or fraud, The laughing will stop just like that. The world will rejoice and everyone will be happy.

NOT,

We will lose all credibility with our allies, our economy will really go in the tank, and the Socialists will win without firing a shot.

Fortunately Americans are not buying into Obama's speeches and
have done their research on him and his backers. He will never be
elected to the Presidency and he will be lucky to hold on to his Senate seat after the election.

What part of we do not want Socialism in America don't you idiots understand. You want Free medical care, move to Canada.
Don't want your children to go to war, then they don't have too, our sons and daughters go voluntarily because they believe in their country. There is no Draft. Wish there was so you liberals would have to earn your right to be an American.

Way to go Governor Manchin. I agree. This fight is far from being over. I will continue to support Hillary Clinton all the way to the White House. Obama is defnitely a big loser and totally ignores states that aren't to his advantage. What a sick puppy he is. I will never vote for Obama nor McCain. I am hoping that I won't be in the position to have to vote for a candidate I don't like nor agree with. I hope to see Hillary Clinton's name on our ballot for the November election. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!

With this kind of support from non-educated working people (with all my respect to most of them), Russian communists made the revolution in 1917. It took 75 years in Russia for the comeback.
Why are you so proud, Ms. Clinton??

CNN,

I live in WV and I don't really see this "huuugge" lead that Hillary has. I know she is favored to win WV, but I still won't vote for her in this time, not even later. But, all of u people will be shocked tomorrow by results!

By the way, that Question of the Day is stupid! since political parties make rules that govern their nominating processes.

I'm really starting to wonder if all these Clinton supporters are REALLY that enthralled with Sen. Clinton, or if it's more a matter of not wanting a black man to become president. Reading some of the posts that appear , you can't help but wonder about the mental capacity of some of these folks and what their ulterior motives are. The most ridiculous are the posts from people who call Sen. and Michelle Obama bigots. It's a sad commentary on our country that we still have so many white people scared to death of anyone who doesn't look exactly like them. That's how we got 8 years of George Bush. If America dumbs down any further, we're in for at least 4 more disastrous years of war and an economy in turmoil.

We need open dialogue in this country about the things that both divide and unite us. I see Sen. Obama as the only one willing to lead that discussion.

Any any Hillary supporter who says they'll vote for Bob Barr before they'd support Obama really cracks me up – they apparently know little or nothing about Barr's history with the Clintons. Ah, what a difference personal political aspirations can make.

This is foolish. Obama cannot win the general in Nov. Do your research – not sound bite surfing. Every legitimate statistic regarding this race shows Senator Clinton the only one to beat McCain and secure the majority of States. If you do not want 4 more yrs. of a Republican presidency, than use your head and vote for Senator Clinton. She is clearly the most qualified individual – black/white/purple – that our party has seen in generations. Senator Obama is not ready – putting him up as the nominee now is throwing away our opportunity in Nov.

I, like millions of democrats, will be forced to vote for McCain as independents in the Fall if he goes forward. We will without question make sure that he does not make it to the presidency. These are not bitter comments of the moment that will wash away over time. These are very real facts folks.

These people (HRC and her cronies) certainly do not have Americans' or the democratic party's interest at heart... So sad...
Just stop it and let's unite the party...

Obama '08

SLICK HILLIE IS NOT BEING FAIR TO OBAMA. SHE IS GOING TO BEAT HIM IN 2 MOREACES, PERHAPS 3 TO NO END. THIS IS THE SELFISHNESS I HAVE GROWN TO EXPECT FROM WHITE WOMEN. UNABLE TO GIVE OTHERS THE PROPER RESPECT THEY HAVE EARNED. ITS LIKE SHE IS THE FAT LADY WHO WONT SING.

We have on one hand, a naive presidential hopeful who promises change, while on the other we have an experienced heroic statesman who has a proven record of change. Am I missing something?

Americans for McCain '08

I think Clinton would make a good president. But with what this country is faced with today, we need a great president. I'm from West Virginia and I'll be casting my vote for Obama tomorrow.

Every week she stays in damages her chances of getting any support in 2012, if Obama doesn't win this November. She's obviously delusional and lost her sense of self preservation. It must be the stress of the Bosnian sniper attacks coupled with the noxious gas fumes.

Millions will write in Hillary Clinton.

Who wants Obama or McCain when you CAN have the very best.

Hillary Clinton in Nov.

Einstein Quotes: :
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
No McCain, McCain=Bush Failed Policies

"Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."
The War in Iraq must End!!! Barack= Gaining Understanding of our World and teh World gaining understanding of Us.

"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
Do not let prejudices influence your vote.
Vote Obama 2008

BIGBEN & JMO,

Obama and Clinton practically mirror each other in policies and where they want to lead this country. You must be closet Republicans hired by Limbaugh... Do what's right by your country and it's people. No McCain..... Put a Democrat in the White House.... Obama is as green as JFK and Reagan were. Experience has brought us absolutely NOWHERE and NOTHING, but debt, an expensive war, lost allies... shall I go on???

Just a typo there:

WE the people unite behind Hillary Clinton because she is the best qualified to lead this country.

The washington insiders and biased press can knock her all they want.

The people are not that easily swayed and will reject the celebrity bandwagon and go with the best Candidate available.

WE, the true democrats, are used to the struggle. United we will.

Hillary CAN beat McCain in the general, Obama cant! it is not Hillarys or her supporters fault. It is the fault of the democratic party.period!
they chose to run a unqualified far left radical for thier own political agenda! they cant run a legal, fair campaign, they have bought, threatened, and poisoned the minds of many Americans against the Clintons. I truly hope the Democratic party has to fold. they should be ashamed at what they have put us the people through!

Why is everyone just ignoring this man Wright,Obama listened to him for twenty years is this really the person we want running our country?He can say he never heard the man speak like that but give me a break ! Who is he trying to fool, he wants us to believe Wright didn't preach that stuff when he was in attendance,PLEASE. I am sorry maybe I don't know enough about politics but why shouldn't every states vote count,and why should a "super delecate" decide for me?Maybe we need to redesign our voting rules so everyone is counted and the few don't get to decide for the many.

There is something about Hillary Clinton's determination to continue even though she knows as does everyone else she cannot win with numbers at this late date.

What I am thinking is this: WHY IS HILLARY CLINTON LITERALLY STEALING MONEY FROM HER SUPPORTERS? She knows she cannot win, and for whatever reason refuses to concede. As recent as today she is asking her supporters for donations. Why is she taking money from well-meaning people (most of whom don't have the money to give, taking it out of their family's budget to give to her), when she knows she cannot win? Its like a flim-flam scheme.

Gov. Manchin,

We are glad that you see the race is not over.

Hillary has a good chance of winning the nomination.

She is experienced, for all the people, and a fighter.

She would be a good commander in chief.

Hillary 08

Obama supporters, don't be so mean. So what Obama wins the nominee. Clinton's supporters will vote for McCain in November and Obama won't win without Clinton's supporters.

You have to understand that young West Virginia Govenor Joe Manchin is in a bind. He can't come out and back Obama because he will be out of a job next time WV has a vote!

Go Hillary! go! go! go! keep going... that's right... just another step... bye!

Mock and jeer and throttle and disparage and condescend and insult and belittle and accuse to your heart's content.

We are not afraid to stand up for our beliefs and be true to our convictions.

We will teach the DNC a lesson in NOV.

We will reject democratic party and republican party alike and we will vote our conscience for Hillary Clinton.

You trashed the best and she is still the shining star.

If you see what we see you see that it is over for the Clinton's unless they lie,cheat and steal there way in the White House.

Hillary's campaign is now HILARIOUS !!

Go ahead take your time Governor Joe Manchin, we understand. You can support 'Obama' when he clinches the nomination, you will be among the followers then not among the 'visionary leaders'.

Thanks and regards, Governor Joe Manchin!

James reading your comments and the lousy spelling be careful as you may punch or mark the wrong candidate or party. You probably should vote republican as you cannot even spell democrat. Obama unpatriotic....give me a break....Go go go Obama our next president!!

“I’m furious. I’m aggravated. I feel violated. I feel used,” Chief Warrant Officer Ron Eagle, 42, of West Virginia told the Washington Post. He was due for retirement last February after 20 years of service. This month he will be sent to Iraq for an additional tour of duty that is likely to last 18 months.

Think West Virginians...

I'm a trucker, and travel through West Virginia all the time; the people are nice, patriotic, and are part of the 'backbone" of this country; everyone needs to stop making fun of them. It's not professional, or even correct; if these people support Hillary Clinton, so be it; I'm sure when Barack Obama wins the nomination, that the good people of that good state will rally around the party's nominee in the fall.

Chris Mannoia

Hillary should go to the convention and rip the old white boy's club apart, i will vote Mccain come hell or high water, and i've been a DEM over 50 years

Why is everyone surprised by that? Obama supporters accept that but She cant win in the general election. So does it really matter.

The more ways that the media and the DNC and the democrats screw with Hillary and bash and batter and trash and belittle her- THE MORE voters she attracts.

Who wants to watch such biased elections?

Who wants fixed elections in America?

Not most true democrats.

Go ahead take your time Governor Joe Manchin, we understand. You can support 'Obama' when he clinches the nomination, you will be among the followers then not among the 'visionaly leaders'.

Thanks and regards, Governor Joe Manchin!

By the way governor...according to mrs. Clinton...YOUR STATE DOES NOT MASTTER COZ YOUR STATE IS SMALL

To all Hillary supporters who say they are voting maccain instead Obama.Stop talking about experience.If Obama can defeat Hillary with all her so called experience,i think race is still a big issue to big ben and the likes of you.Grow up and give Obama your support for the benefit of every Americans.
GOD BLESS AMERICA,GOD BLESS BARACK OBAMA

Hillary quoted Eleanor Roosevelt, telling supporters in WV: "A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she is in hot water."

Why does she want to bring up the Monica thing again. She should stop talking about Tea Bags! ; )

Everyone knows in advance that Senator Clinton was expected to win West Virginia by a large, so there are no surprise there. It is also her prerogative to stay in the race until all the states have voted as long as she doesn't say or do anything to damage the presumptive Democratic nominee or the Party. She does have $109 million of her own personal money at her disposable and if she chooses to spend it that way? I just hope that when it is all said and done we can come together as a Party and put all our differences aside and vote to get the Republicans out of there. If Senator McCain wins then we all suffer – is that what you want?

Why is everyone surprised by that? Obama supporters accept that but She cant win in the general election. So does it really matter.

This is no surprise. They are voting on race without a doubt. This is a state that has managed to keep their population 93% white. They are 48th in household incomes, but they are overwhelmingly supporting the candidate who has proven that she can not manage a small budget, she overspends and borrows from Peter to pay Paul. They say they want the war to end, but they have said they will likely vote for McCain in the fall. Clearly, their Issue #1 is keeping the White House white.

It's their vote. They are entitled to use it as they see fit. Fortunately, they don't represent this company as a whole.

Obama O-8!

Ivote first time and fur Obma.

He best for all peoples.

I pragnent and 18 and I can vote so I vote democrat.

I am a pragnent 18 year old. i vote for Obama. He inspire me cuz
1. his mama pregnant teen too- so i can do it too
2. his mama on food stamps but he go to privates schools.
3. my chilren be president in future.

We've come this far– let every state vote. Although, Hillary is going to come out and say "See?? I won by a landslide! I should be the nominee!"... There are states that Obama thrashed her in, so just because she beats him handily in WV (and maybe KY) doesn't change anything. It just so happens that these states vote after she's already otherwise lost. It doesn't change anything, other than being a little awkward.

For the sake of the party, stop trying to talk the superdelegates into stealing the election for you! Its over.

McCain 2008
Clinton 2012

Nobama – Never ever

Matt it sounds like you haven't voted for a winner yet!!! Vote for McBush and you will continue your losing ways...why are there so many bad losers...???

It is clear that it is the un-educated that vote for Hillary Clinton. As you read their blogs, it is sometimes gramatically impossible to decern if they ever went to school.

I guess CNN don't care what the Indain negro thinks. We know who obama is, and that is why we support Hillary.

*****OPERATION CHAOS in full effect*****

come on democrats, destroy one another, those Hilary supporters, we welcome you to the republican party, the DNC is to be blamed for this mess, we republicans together with you Hilary supporters will show the DNC what we are made of

Obama was an elitist by his early teens.

He opted for the prestigious private school in Hawaii rather than live with his mother in Indonesia.

It is not as if he chose to experience the life of 3rd world countries. He is no savior.

Hillary ONLY, for me.

I'm an Obama supporter, but Hillary should stay in the race until the last person votes. She should NOT contest Florida and Michigan, but they should be seated at the convention with a penalty for breaking the rules.

Also, Barack should NOT have Hillary or any of her buddies on the ticket. He should stay as far away from the Clintons as possible as they will do anything to destroy him, and anyone else who gets in their way.

Hillary ran to become the president so that she and Bill could ask for more speaking engagement money. That's it. She's not for the people.

READ THIS DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quoted by Concern Democrats "Those democrats that feel the need to support McCain or not vote at all, to express their anger/hate/revenge towards Obama are only hurting themselves. If Obama loses, he'll go back to the senate and he'll be alright. However, will you be OK with a failing economy, a continue war in Iraq, health care unresolved, conservative justices, etc…"Most of you all are not voting on the issues .. issues of Mc Cain and Clinton/Obama are polar opposites .. LETS ALL UNITE & STOP THIS BITTERNESS ....!!!!

Is that dueling banjos I hear. Just what we need making decisions for this country!

We will not vote for Obama

Neither democratic party nor Republican party.

Hillary is the middle ground best candidate with the best platform for ALL Americans.

She owes the democratic party NOTHING- geez, they gang raped the woman publicly.

Let the rest of the people vote. It's expensive and time consuming,but if everyone needs to have a voice, so be it. Many states are quite surprised that their primaries are even being discussed as important, and for that part of it, it lends additional interest in and support to the process, and people are showing up in record numbers.

Hopefully, Hillary will continue to be a little less abrasive in her treatment of Obama as the race concludes, and Obama will continue to clarify his position. He gave an excellent talk in WVA today about his record of support for Veterans, and I am encouraged to be able to hear about these things that matter rather than the trivia that has plagued much of this primary.

I love how all thes "if not Hillary then McCain" fools are saying that Obama can not win in November. As she could, Look there is a reason why she is not winning the election you morons and you think she could win in November. She cant even win the primary.

Matt,

You have voted Democratic for years, yet this year you're switching your vote because you don't believe Obama is the best qualified candidate this fall???

So are you saying that all the other year's nominees where the best candidates?

Spare me... What's the real reason Matt? (And others with that same line of bull...)

Dear Tom,

News Flash: We are already the laughing stock of the world, or haven't you noticed.

Obama 08

W.Virginia being a swing state this year is up for speculation...A change in politics also means a change in demographics in regards to the general election.

Obama is a big looser he can not win in Nov. He is a weak canadate and us demacrats need to vote mccain if our party chooses this looser for the good of the country. Anyone can see he is a dangerous man and should also see he is unpatriotic in his thinking.

bigben the dillusional one blindly following the Queen of the liars. Give me a break.

Obama will NOT get my vote ~ not even if he manages to convince Hillary to run for VP. I have been a democrat since JFK but I will vote a straight republican ticket if Obama is nominated. I cannot, in good conscience vote for him. He does not have a clue about being president and I think he's more of a demagogue than Bush – he will listen to no one. I don't believe McCain is Bush term 3 and I feel much more comfortable with him than I do Obama. Of course, if the democrats wise up and run Hillary – WE ARE SAVED!!!!

GO HILLARY GO ~ RISE HILLARY RISE ~ FLY HILLARY FLY

Who knew West Virginia had a governor?

I can't understand why people are feeling good about Obama when he has lost the last few major primaries. If he is the nominee then its very obvious that a significant portion of the Democratic Party isn't pleased with it. Wouldn't it be ashamed if she would drop out and still win Primaries? That's what would have happened with West Virginia & Kentucky. I guess what the DNC and Obama supporters are saying is that they don't care about poor White Trash, who needs their support. Well, I can tell you that the states that voted in majority are not going to automatically support Obama in the Fall, not by a long shot!

Ahh... the rotting corpse that is the democratic party....

McCain '08!

All of you hillary supporters are racist or stupid!!!! If you want a better health care system , more jobs, ending of the war in Iraq and healing of the country and maybe many more then why on earth would you vote for McSame?!!! Hillary and Obama's policies are almost the same... If Obama doesn't win then I would vote for Hillary because I believe in my party. You guys are retarded!!!!

IF obama gets the nomanation. He will not WIN the General. It will because of all you obama supporters. You, not Hillrary or any other party, will be the reason the Dems won't win. obama and his followers have destroyed the party. NO one else but them. They have played right into his evil plans. I will do what I can to help not get him elected. I will not vote for any party that has his name on ballot. Even if Hillary's name, I hope she has more since then that, or Edwards name is on the ballot.

This is to "suzy", Obama has been to West Virginia to campaign, and he's going back on Monday...check your facts.

I cannot under any circumstance vote for Obama. He is not quailified to be president. My only alternative is to abstain from voting for a president. It's time for Obama to step aside and let someone that is qualified to be president accept the nomination. Obama cannot win against Mc Cain, at least HIllary has a chance.

For the millionth time. Why are DEMOCRATS

Wow, you Obama supporters are very ugly/ rude/ obnoxious aren't you? I tell ya what, as a well educated, professional white woman, I would never vote for Obama or McCain.........guess I will just have to stay home that day. Obama cannot win without our votes...........so for you 'followers' out there...............GET A LIFE! Grow up and get some common sense..........stop the HATE!

Hillary 08!

Hey Hill, why don't you run on the independant ticket?

So what. It is only one state. Is this state imporant? Ask the Clintions. There always changing the rules. At the end ask yourself who has won the most states,votes and delegates. If the answer to all three is Obama then has won. I do not hate the Clintions are the support but they must stop with all this BS. Do what is best for you and your family.

Shame on you hillary .any true Democrat will conced after NC.
He won all and you just wont show,and damage.
West Verginan , Im just telling the truth. Her jadjment about Iraq cost you 30,000 killed and wounded ,as well trillions of USD.
Now you go to vote for her?She work just for lobbyist not for you she mae politics from Merica kids blood

READ THIS DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quoted by Concern Democrats "Those democrats that feel the need to support McCain or not vote at all, to express their anger/hate/revenge towards Obama are only hurting themselves. If Obama loses, he'll go back to the senate and he'll be alright. However, will you be OK with a failing economy, a continue war in Iraq, health care unresolved, conservative justices, etc…"

Most of you all are not voting on the issues .. issues of Mc Cain and Clinton are polar opposites .. the only thing they have in common is their race ... hmmm?

Hilary is just in the race to split the democratic party so Obama can lose so she can run again in 2012 .. even her supporters proclaim this .... *heartless*

My coment is;;;;; that Hillary should stay in to the end, she is by far the best one for this country.
She has the talent and the wisdom to do the right things for the country.

When the Republicans get after Obama, he won't know he is or where he came from.
so hang in there Hillary and beat this thing.

Let the people vote... This is silly to call a state before the voting even starts. How could one even think about doing this? Let it play out. Unless Clinton wins above 90% of the delegates, it is going to be hard for Clinton to stay in with any reasonable mathematical possiblity of winning the nomination.

Ditto Matt's comments. I only wish my vote for Hillary would have counted in the DNC primary- but my vote will still count for the general election. Not a good sign for Obama- he should wake up to himself and his delusional supporters of disenfranchisement within the DNC.

Racist thinkers are not qualified to lead a diverse country.

Matt I think you have a cholce of whom to vote for, and I think the reason Hillary is so much favored for President is that she is from the old school and same as usual politics instead of focusing on something new. I too wanted Hillary to win but somewhere along the road she just started focusing on herself and not the American People. Nasty campaign against her opponent in which I thought was unfair.

We can all use a different was of doing things but when you lie about what you can do and not be able to handle your own business is not what the American People needs right now. So if Obama wins the nominee then it's okay to vote Republican as your choice.

i am

Time magazine said it all: "And the Winner Is"......

enough said.

08AMA

I am black, a woman, and a democrat, and I have watched both campaigns, read every blog, listened to every newsbroadcast, watched every debate, and I must say, that I have developed a "bitter" taste in my mouth, and have decided not to vote in the general election.

Suzy, you need to get your fact straight. He is in West Virginia today and Kentucky and there is little to no excitement. People of his kind aren't welcomed in WV, as those bigots are telling their newspaper and such that they will not vote for a black man. It is pathetic that Bill and Hillary are pandering to these racist rednecks, who vote agaisn't their economic interest because they think someone is going to take their gun away. Well, thanks goodness I'm not poor, they will live with the consequences of their decision.

it's just prolonging the inevitable,but,everyone deserves a say.i hope west virginians will show their support for obama,and help seal the deal for him.i hope the hillary supporters there,will also vote for obama ,in the fall.

How can people honestly say that Hillary was robbed of the nomination?! If you are seeking to blame anyone for Hillary losing, you should start with her campaign and her advisors. They totally let her down and magnified Hillary's errors and weaknesses instead of mitigating them. I fully agree that both sides and their supporters have gotten extremely personal, and at times viscious, which has only added to some of these negative feelings. However, I pray that everyone will be able to step back and take a few breaths before making a horrible decision of voting for McCain or sitting out the election.

ALERT! ALERT! WV and KY , PLEASE, WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A candidate who is "ready on day 1" to run the economy, yet in 16 MOS, has managed to run up a debt over $20M!!!! Great Planning.
Promise of a GAS TAX HOLIDAY, that no expert supports. She calls you her blue collar support base, but what she means is that you are POOR, STUPID SUCKERS!! who will believe anything.
Help Hillary get the help that she needs by not feeding her mental illness (PATHOLOGICAL LYING, DELUSIONS, DENIAL).
HELP YOURSELVES, SHOW THE REST OF AMERICA THAT YOU ARE NOT STUPID!!!!
VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA. THE REAL STRAIGHT SHOOTER!!!!!!!!!

I'm still waiting on someone/anyone to clearly explain to me without trumped up spin just what great qualifying experience Sen. Clinton has besides her years as a First Lady when Bill was Govenor and President that make her the more expreinced candidate. Is it age or more time involved in politics in general?

Sen. Obama does claim or boast of vast amounts of political experience beyond what can be proven which I would think would be the same for Sen. Clinton, but her supporters continue on with this "she's the more qualified candidate" mantra and I still have yet to figure out what those qualifications are other those I'm already aware of. Care to enlighten me? Anyone?

Clinton Supporters

1. Clinton can't win without the superdelegates which she has been courting and at one time saw them as a way of winning the nomination. I am sure if the delegates were going the other way, you would be welcoming them.

2. WV Governor also stated today that WV voters were voting because of their feelings towards BILL Clinton. He isn't running!!

3. Clinton stated after Obama won so many states after Super Tuesday, that small states didn't matter.

Get a grip and put some rationale and reason into your arguments.

As little children and young adults, we are told we can be anything we want to be. That it only takes hard work and determination. I admire Mrs. Clinton for her strength and determination. She has proven that she will fight for her beliefs. Personally I believe is that she is the best person for President at this time. I support the fact that she is going on with her campaign and allowing everyone to vote. I think that Mr. Obama should do the same. This is the first time that a woman and a black man will be chosen to be the democratic nominate. This is a once in a lifetime thing that may not happen again for a very longtime. I think that it is important for people to be a part of such a historical event and that all 50 states should participate. This will prove that the Democratic party is about the people and not delegates. In addition, that both have brought a huge number of new voters.

Mrs. Clinton you have shown woman (young and old) that we can stand up and be counted. Regardless of what road blocks we may encounter, anything is possible. For this, I a black woman admire you.

Deborah
Jackson, Mississippi

Clinton supporters just love the PAIN and SUFFERING of a sore loser.

Bottom line, All I keep hearing from the Clinton supporters is....

A) Clinton Supporters continue to CLAIM "She's the MOST qualified

Well okay, if that was the TRUE, WHY isn't YOUR CANDIDATE IN THE LEAD? WHY? Are you Clinton supporters so far removed from reality that you continue to blame everyone else except YOUR OWN CANDIDATE HERSELF!!

B) Clinton Supporters continue to blame Sen. Obama for FL and MI.

What a CROCK of CRAP!!! The TRUE fact of the matter is, the Governors in both these states BROKE THE RULES and YOUR CANDIDATE signed a written agreement stating she WOULD NOT CAMPAIGN IN EITHER STATES because they would NOT COUNT!! She herself was caught on tape stating they would "not count".

Which part of Signed Agreement don't you Clinton supporters understand? OR are you saying it's OKAY for your candidate BREAK the RULES and LIE and CHEAT when it's convenient for her?

IF the tables were TURNED Sen. Clinton would NOT be giving Florida and Michigan a second thought. She wouldn't give a dam about those voters rights or anything else for that matter. Let's call it like it is. Sen. Clinton is crying the blues because she's LOSING!!!!

C) Clinton supporter claim that Sen. Obama was given "special treatment by the media". ARE YOU EL'LOCO? or are you on DRUGS? When HAS an African American ever GOT any special treatment. YOU all are truly amazing. YOU cry "foul play" on everyone else because "it's an easy cop out".

Clinton supporters are quick to point their fingers at everyone else but their own candidate who self imploded her own chances for the nomination!!! Bottom line.

If Sen. Clinton DID NOT

1) ignore the caucus states early on, deeming them "small and not relevant".

2) hire her "friends" rather than qualified staffers

3) seriously Mis-MANAGED her CAMPAIGN FUNDS and continue to employ Mark Penn who she still currently owes $8+ million in salary. What kind of sense does that make?

4) spend her SO LAVISHLY in the beginning, NOT thinking about the long haul. Bill and Hillary thought they were entitled to the Oval Office. That was their biggest MISTAKE, they under estimated their opponent. Bottom line.

5) GO NEGATIVE – This "old Washington Politics" is older than DIRT and Americans are sick and tired of it. They made it very clear that they WANT change and not the Clinton era from the 1990s.

IF Sen. Clinton had run an honorable ship and campaign AND had she NOT made these serious judgement decisions early on - SHE WOULD BE IN THE LEAD!!! Bottom line!

Bill and Hillary HAVE no one else to blame for their demise but THEM!!! They made the decisions that caused them their own FATE and they NOW want to destroy the Democratic Party at all costs.

Sen. Clinton's comments in USA Today was inexcusable and unbecoming a U.S. Senator!! She knew better. AND not to make matters worse, she's using the GENDER card when she said early in her campaign she would NOT do.

So it's these double-standard messages that have lead the Clintons to their downfall. Sen. Clinton has NOT had a consistent message in her campaign since "DAY ONE". Bottom line, Americans just DON'T TRUST HER!!!

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary Go on and on and on!!

All you people from WV overestimate your importance in this race. OBAMA will be the next president with or without you. Just 28 delagates!

While you are at it you guys need to further your education and open up.
OBAMA 08 and 12

As an Obama supporter, I welcome her to stay in all the way just as Senator Obama has said several times over the last week.

So many of you blame everyone else for her decline. The fact of the matter is that she lied, admitted to lying on national TV, has Penn still as an advisor on her campaign, has gone negative and then turned around and cried fowl when she felt she was being attacked, etc.

Please Senator Clinton, don't drop out. Fight for it all you want. I get a great laugh everytime you speak out against Obama while he continues to compliment and praise you.

Ladies and gentlemen can we in the Name of God stop washing our dirty linen in the public?. Primary race is a family affair. Without Hillary Clinton Obama will have no watershed standard nor would his capacity to ride turbulence and religio-racial storm come to light. Hillary has actually played a sparing partner in this race. Let us love them both and support their joint ticket.

By making the comments she has made about the people of West Virginia, Clinton has painted them as being a poor, uneducated, racist group of people. I have no idea if they are or not as I have never been there myself. It just annoys me that she would paint them that way if they are not. It reeks of desperation if it isn't true. Who knows though....she may be painting them correctly.

West Virginia home state of an ex klan member Sentor Byrd remember him al so is not the population over 65 and white that Hillary is working on and is it not were most of the white bigots are at. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you tell me.

I did not know we had such closed minded people in our party.

If you will truly vote for McCain for president, then you are deluding yourself about what freedom is and what is important about being American.
McCain has been anything but a "straight shooter"
He will continue this war...forever. As there is no solution to inner conflict in someone elses country. McCain now supports waterboarding...
He is Bush 2. As a democrat...there is no way you could vote for this man.
If you are a democrat. Be a democrat...or be a Republican and vote for endless war and more of our freedoms being taken away.
The choice is ours.
Unite!!

Obama supporters are ignorant blokes who are just straight out mean. You guys keep making stupid remarks towards whites who won't vote for nomama. Well reality check dudes and dudettes he can take as many blacks as he wants into the general election but can count the Hispanic population out. They also won't vote for a black president just ask what happened in texas and California... she took those states thanks to the hispanic population and in 2004 bush also won because of them. Yes true maybe west virginia and kentucky might go red this year too but many of the states that nomama won are going red regardless if hes the nominee or not. Hillary can really bring the party together without a racial divide and it sucks that Nomama supporters are calling west virginians ignorant because they believe Hillary is the best choice. I personally won't vote for nomama... I will never become an ignorant mean and nasty nomama supporter. I will stick to hillary to the end. Te people of WV, KY, OR, MT. SD. PR sill haven't had their say and it's really disrespectful that nomama doesn't campaign in those states specially WV and KY because if he's going to win the presidency he has to reach out to everyone and try to convince them he is the "right" choice. he is going to be president for everyone not just the black people.

Eli,

Hillary supporters call us Obama supporters a CULT..............now tell me that isnt bashing us for our intelligent, informative support of a candidate. Common sense doesnt need a degree. So, please refrain from blaming us... also we havent threatened to vote for McCain..it has been Hillary supporters. Facts are Facts

Obama IS the Democratic Nominee.............................and to those who are anticipating something new to come out about Obama?/ Maybe..just maybe, there isnt a darn thing to reveal........she has tried them all aready.

older white female voter

The people blogging that they will not vote for Obama or either racists or Republicans stirring up more mess. However, Obama will be the Democratic nominee and he will win against McCain in November. Obama has already receidve a large amount of Republicans and new voters. It will be a very small amount of Hillary supporters that will not vote on Obama because he is bi-racial. But those number will be made-up by new voters. So stop the threats of not voting for him. Grow-up!!

MSNBC aka "Musslin State National Broadcasting Corp" is pumping up Obama to be your next president. WHY ?

HOW MANY RACISTS ARE IN THE CROWD? OBAMA HAS A HEALTHCARE...IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR HIM THAT'S YOUR PROBLEMS. NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE UNEDUCATED

Governor Joe Manchin must listen to Rush Limbaugh Rush Limbaugh could be the leader of KKK hes so bigoted and so are his listners.This is man is a disgrace to our country.He is spewing hate all the time and calling for riots and bloodshed at the Democratic Convention but nobody says a word.If you or I said these things we would be labeled terrorists.

Sen Obama doesn't even know USA is made of 58 states or 60 or 50, and he wants to be in the White House ????

C'mon man , don't act like a Hezbollah now.

I support Hillary staying in the race till june 3 and till convention so that she can recoup her $11million dollars. I sincerely want an Obama – Clinton Ticket so that The party can heal. The contest is a family affair so there is no victor and no vanquished. Please CNN trumpet this Vote them both call thanks

PLEASE West Virginia- Euthanize and let's get on with this.

I'm a registered Democrat–Just a quick question–What if Clinton wins big time in WV and KY and say 1/2 the votes are counted from Michigan and Florida and that puts her ahead in the POPULAR vote. Then what??? Do we the people really count or ???

""He is pulling for Hillary and don't expect Obama to get any votes.""

Considering that Camp Clinton seems to think that's how Michigan should be counted, I'm not surprised.

Wow, if I were an alien reading this stuff, I'd think Clinton was Obi-Wan.

Rise Hillary, Rise! You're our only hope!

She's experienced and a fighter!

Big deal, if I want a real FIGHTER for president, I'd vote for Mike Tyson.
He was really tough, (actually did time for his cromes), and stayed around for about 5 fights too many.

See any parallels?

bosnia
gas tax break
nafta
education forgiveness
mortgage freeze
all lies that hilary told us in west virginia
she dont get my vote

west virginia voter here who is supporting the man with a plan
barack obama.............................
get on board -train is heading to the white house

I hope to God that Hillary is not asked to be the VP on HIS ticket because I would be so disapointed in her to accept a position that is beneath her. Let Mr. Obama win on his own, or lose as I suspect that he will. Also, why is it racist for a white to want her to be the President and not racist for ALL the blacks who vote for him and don't tell me it is just the dumb whites who vote for her, you have to be kidding if you think ALL the blacks who vote Obama are doing so because they are so well educated and really understand how the political system works. If he does manager to get elected, watch out, he has no economical background at all. See how far we get as a country. Please Hillary, do not be conned into accepting a VP on his ticket. You are far too smart for that. Thank you for staying in the race and God bless you.

"Hillary is within striking distance of winning the popular vote nationwide - a key part of our plan to win the nomination," campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe said in a letter to supporters Sunday.

I've always wondered what drugs McAuliffe was taking. Apparently, he didn't get the memo that Ohio numbers were off 'just a bit', giving Obama many more votes and reducing the final percentage win for Clinton. Add on the "zero" votes that Obama got in Harlem (hmmm, Harlem is black, blacks have been voting for Obama 90%-10%, and Obama got no votes)...sounds fishy to me, Terry. Maybe once you get "ALL the votes" which we hear the Clinton team say 20 times a day, we will find out Obama's lead is even GREATER than 700,000 votes.

"Barack Obama has beaten Hillary Clinton in the only metric that matters—delegates—but in every other major fuzzy metric that some people clam is important: popular vote, number of states won, he generally polls better than her against McCain, and he's raised more money. He's so much stronger than her that he can beat her, and still be in a position to help defray some of the costs of her campaign.
And she's trying to convince the superdelegates that she's the stronger candidate?"

Hillary's continued run is only an attempt of suring up a political future for her daughter (Chelsea). Hillary knows she won't win but is using this opportune time to introduce Chelsea on her campaign trail. It's not about the Democrat party with Hillary it's about Chelsea's future. Remember Chelsea is the only heir to the throne.

The fat lady is in Rehab due to exhaustion – must be all that singing!!

Fine, don't call it for Sen. Obama. I am HOPING that West Virginia and Kentucky will vote for Sen. Obama

KENTUCKY & W. VIRGINIA: HOW CAN YOU VOTE FOR ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ?????????????????????

The results of that war: $10 TRILLION IN DEBT AND COUNTING; THOUSAND OF LIVE LOST; SOLDIERS DEAD, MAIMED...... NOT TO MENTION THOSE WHO HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE!

Please Kentucky & West Virginia, THINK! WHY would you vote for either McBush OR Hillary????????????????

WITH ALL THE EXPERIENCE AND 'WISDOM' Hillary VOTED FOR THE WAR! She is just as responsible for the mess we are in as is Bush!

Hillary- YES!

Obama- Eh, not so much.

McCain- HELL NO.

DO NOT VOTE McCain people! It doesn't matter how you feel about Hillary or Obama. McCain is not the right choice. Unless you are totally comfortable with the way the country is going right now. DO NOT VOTE MCCAIN.

Is Obama a racist?

Hillary break ties with Dems! Run Independent!!! Obama and Mccain will shaking while they try to put their big boy pants on!!!!!

In reference to' honkey white guy from cali.' WV is one of the most beautiful states in the country.I can leave my door unlocked at night and not woory about intruders,yet at the same time have the right to own guns for protection.I would invite you to come and visit our state but would also advise you to watch what you said while here.

Its a good thing that racist states don't call elections anymore because
they are now outnumbered in the civilized world.

Country road take me home to the place where I was born...West Virginia, mountain high, country road take me home...

West Virginians will be happy with President Barack Obama. He'll make you proud. I hope one West Virginian will wake up and smell the coffee and rebuke what Hillary is trying to do the DNC and the country.

Also, I really don't want her to campaingn for Barack. I think she should campaign for McCain, that's what she's been doing anyway.

The fat lady will be performing at the Super Bowl half time.

The rule is not the one with the most pledge, super whatevers....it is 2025 and she will drop out once SHE can not make 2025. Right now she can. She should continue and let everyone vote. The venom here, especially from OBAMA suporters (or are the Clinton haters), is just the tone Barack says he wants to change. She has a right to do what she wants until Barack has 2025. I believe he is the nominee apparent. I don't like hime or his politics but I will never address him as nasty as some of you talk about Hiliary. By the way given the choice between him and Sen, McCain I will be voting for him.

The "thug atmoshere" of Obama campaign workers, (megaphones, blaring music and "hood'" signs), I witnessed at a polling precint in Wilmington, NC is really NOT an exception of the Obama campaign.

The Obama supporter posts here and on other blog spots openly boast of their disrespect and stereotypical judgment of any person that does not support Obama.

The POLITICS OF INTIMIDATION, is that the image you choose to mirror for your candidate?

Hillary will be the nominee for the Democratic Party, DNC knew which side their bread is buttered on. Hillary support is BROADER and DEEPER, her broad support is what keeps DNC alive through their donations. DNC is short of funds right now, many LIFELONG DEMOCRATS are not sending their regular contribution, in fact many democrats will abandon their party if Hillary is not the nominee. There is POWER in NUMBER, AND I can candidly say Hillary GOT THE NUMBER.

Lets be HONEST here, Obama CANNOT win in GENERAL ELECTION, McCain will WIN against Obama in LANDSLIDE VICTORY that would BREAK the record for the GOP .McCain is a MODERATE Republican, extreme GOP may not vote for him, they may not like him but the conservative and moderate democrats and republicans will vote for McCain. What made McCain has ADVANTAGE over Obama, NO ONE can question McCain's PATRIOTISM, Obama is QUESTIONABLE; the people he surround himself are SHADY CHARACTERS even his OWN campaigner that SUPPORTS Hamas.

The fat lady just went Platinum!

I saw the interview this morning. He is also running for re-election tomorrow. He stated he would make his decision after tomorrow's election. He doesn't want to lose...

Obama talk about change and yes we can, look who is endorsing him DNC, Kennedy, Kerry, Richardson and the establishment. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHERE IS THE CHANGE AND WHAT HE CAN AND WOULD DO?
If Obama give up W. Virginia, Kentucky and other remain States left in the process, added to the big swing States that he already lost and they are a must win in the general election, ASK YOURSELF
HOW STRONG IS THIS NOMINEE?
HOPING that the superdelegates wake up

HILLARY 08

Think about it – Governor Manchin is up for election also this year. By endorsing Obama in a state that is overwhelmingly for Clinton he only hurts himself. People there are not ready to see an African-American in the white house. And let's face it – a large portion of the voters still believe he is Muslim! Jay Rockefeller (also up for re-election) is losing votes because of his Obama endorsement.

Of course Obama is not campaign in Wv because the state doesn't have 40% of registration votters black. He knows he can't win any state where this fact doesn't stand.somebody may said that he won some state that were white but that happened before they knew him, before media say something about him. I don't blame media for it because there were very busy destroying Clinton. I heard from all Obama's supporter that Hillary can stay in Race as long she can't attack Obama. If Obama can't take Hillary's attack how could it take others party attack. Democrat party are lost for November because they have no choice. They know very well that Obama can not win but can't go against blacks population which a good portion of their party and for Hillary it was to latte to come in game. I know for fact that if Hillary win she will the general election as well. I can't vote for Obama and with me are houdred people that I know whom can't vote for Obama because he is fake. Good luck Democrat party with him. It is like win a battle(beating Clinton) but not the war(beating Republicans).

64 yr old white dude here voting for obama for sure.
i read the GLOBE magazine this weekend and would never vote for a liar and cheat like her...

To you folks in West Virginia and Kentucky – fool them all, you know they think you Americans are against a "man of color" that is why Hillary thinks she has it "in the bag" but you could show all America NOT THIS TIME will you be fooled by fear, prejudice, or divisive talk. It is time West Virginia and Kentucky it is time for each of you to stand up and be counted in this future we are trying to build – VOTE OBAMA. Give change a chance, don't be afraid, our country and all your fellow Americans need you to stand up and say NOT THIS TIME

The fat lady will be the guest host on MTV...

Yes, Hillary Clinton will win another usually Democratic state by a huge margin. Why should she leave a contest where support for her is still so overwhelming in 3 of the next 6 races? If the electorate in these 6 primaries want to vote and have their say in the process, they should be given that opportunity to do so. Of course this is the same Obama campaign that thinks it is ok to not count the Florida and Michigan votes. Too bad, Barack, if you can't carry traditional Democratic states how in the world do you expect to win the general election? Go home, get some more rest and let a real fighter carry the Democratic banner in the fall.

I'm okay with allowing the last remaining states to vote, but can someone put a muzzle on Howard Wolfson? He gets on my last nerve.

The fat lady just won another Grammy!

Gallup Daily: Obama Pulls Ahead of Clinton, 50% to 43%

It sickens me to read all the comments from narrow minded, igonorant, smug people that stereotype West Virginians as backward, uneducated, racist people. Just because we don't want your candidate that makes us ignorant racists? Well, I've got news for you...racism exist everywhere, I will even bet that you have some predjustics yourself because everyone does. Most of you are hypocrites.

Don't tell be about racism when over 90% of blacks in not just a few states...But all states, are voting for Obama. If you don't see this as a slap in the white man's face....THEN YOU ARE THE IGNORANT PERSON!

Has it ever occured to you that maybe some of us West Virginians are voting for Clinton because of our overall satisfaction with the Clinton Administration of the 90's? You fool yourself when you believe that going forward is always the smart thing to do....sometimes we get off track and the smart thing is to go back.

Maybe we prefer Clinton over a STRANGER that we know very little about....and essentially that's what Obama is...I mean, let's be honest, how many of us even heard of him until recently? You Obama supporters magnify every mistake Hillary may make but EXCUSE everything about Obama. You can't honestly think that he listened to his pastor for 20 years and he had no idea that his pastor was an angry bitter person who hated whites.

And lastly, what are you intelligent, smug people from your 'SUPERIOR STATES' so proud of....your higher crime rates?

When Obama gets through pushing all his totally leftist ideologies
none of will have anything left, the only people that are in denial
are the people believe his every word, it just proves to me, they only hear what they want to and dont bother doing any research whatsoever period, people, period

Yes, enjoy the vote tomorrow West Virginians and give Hillary a great big going away party. Why not bring the fat lady on, and let her sing her heart out, because the DNC train has left the station........it has gone to a place called Realityville.

Who is responsible for this IDIOTIC primary timetable? If they all wanted this to be over in Feb., why did they drag it out until June? The party "leaders" have some nerve trying to curtail the schedule they formulated. Dean and the boys are really the losers and because of their vision they might well hand this sure thing election right over to the Republicans.

HEY! REPUBLICANS AND MACCAIN'S SUPPORTERS IMPERSONATE DEMOCRATS AND POST INCINERATING COMMENTS HERE TO DIVIDE US!.
DON'T FALL TO THEIR PLOY!!
DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

I am glad that Bill Barr is running as the Libritarian canidate. All we need is an Independant canidate and Hillary will be totally out of options maybe she will go away and take up boxing if she is such a fighter.

Go Obama 08

Blue Collar

I pray that you really mean what you wrote. Why? it would mean to me that people are really beginning to sit up and take notice. Please spread the word among your family, friends, and acquaintances.

I am so disgusted by the way Hillary is taking advantage of Blue Collar Workers, by simply making this election all about race. But what makes me really angry is this, at least the so-called "Blue Collar Worker" can think for themselves, if they choose Hillary it is because they simply want to, they are capable of analyzing all of the information that is presented, in other words they are capable of making an "Informed Decision", but, the same cannot be said of the undereducated and poor voters, they are being taken advantage of by Hillary, because they are not capable of making the same "informed Decision" they just cannot analyze information, they just "cling" to Hillary in the hope that what she says and what she "Offers Them" is true. These people are among the many, that Barack wants to help, but they are not even prepared to give him a chance to prove his sincerity, and this is so sad. I wish that you folks can establish some kind of outreach program to try to educate these badly overlooked voters.

What and where is Rev. Wright? What did Obama's camp do with him?

SNL nailed it with respect to Hillary supporters.. racist in denail.

HILLARY SHOULD RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT. SCREW OBAMA. ANYHOW, HE IS NOT GOING TO BE PRESIDENT.

I am no big Hilary fan, but I am less ( much less) for Obama. I cringe at the thought of Obama being our next president.
A man who won't wear the flag on his lapel,
AI man who won't put his hand over his heart with " The Pledge of Alegence"..
A man who's wife has never been proud of this country.
Sorry I have to say "Stay in there Hilary, the truth about Obama will prevail.'.
Obama CHANGE is not what America needs.
Wake UP AMerica!

As a life long Democrat, voting for JFK on, I will now cast my vote for McCain since MR. OBAMA has shown my vote does not count!
Life time Democrat from Florida

That's fine Governor, keep the drama going, and going, and going. Sounds like your thinking is just as small as Hillary's. It's only about her, and that's it, not the DNC, or the country.

Small minds think alike.

Obama may have a 48 state strategy, but since he enlightened us all that there are 57 or 58 states he's visited, then I guess that gives Hillary more states to win and turn this bus around. I know you'll tell me he "misspoke"., but if McCain said it he would be senile and Hillary would be lying.

He doesn't have to. Obama got the presumtive nominee position. The math has spoken. Hillary needs to quietly leave the race. If, not...she will be totally ignored just like over the weekend. She can win WV and Kentucky. It would not matter. Obama so far ahead.
I admire Hillary Clinton for her strength and courage. She would make a great VP, if she's willing to accept the position.

She needs to stand behind the Democratic party to stop the Republicans at all cost. Now, John McCain has a running mate....Barr. That means double the fun.

HILLARY IS TH E MODERN DAY GEN PICKETT!!!!!

AND WE KNOW HOW THAT TURNED OUT!!!!!!!!!

Obama's campaign is being driven by the DNC now. What they really want is his mailing list, I've heard that it's worth $200 million. It's true that he has inspired people to come out and vote, but that does not make him a better choice for president. The DNC want money from all of the "young" democrats that Barak lured out of the shadows. Do you reall think Obama is going to change the world. wake up! this is not OZ and you can't go home once he's in the white house.

I am a Democrat and have voted domoratic for years but I am switching this year because I know Obama is not the best qualified candidate this fall. That candidate is definitley Hillary. My vote will go to Republicans from now on until the Democratic party realizes how to select the most qualified candidate. Best of luck to Obama and his supporters!!!!!!

When all the primary elections are over neither Hilliary Clinton nor Barack Obama will have the 2025 delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination. Both will fall short and the nominee will be decided by a brokered deal. Obama currently leads and will more than likely be given the nomination but when all is said and done the voters will not have made this decision.

ACHTUNG!

MARXISTS, MAOISTS, ELITE MEDIA TALKING HEADS alike, this is

the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

If OBAMA becomes president, then you can openly campaign to withdraw our rightsof personal freedom and responsibility.

Eli your post did have a good point although you left out some very important facts only 18% of Obama supporters say they will vote Mc Cain or stay home to a huge 50% of HRC's supporters so to just blame all Obama supporters is in it's self uneducated, and close minded! The base that she is after and fighting so hard for makes no sense at all! They have not voted democratic in a GE in nearly 40+ years so to go after these people whom will most definitely end up in the republican side in Nov is unwise to say the least! Plus she is losing her truest base in this effort her female voters are running in droves a group she should have in overwhelming numbers and that vote democratic as history shows. Also she is pushing away that minority vote more and more lets see what happens in PR going to be very much tighter for her that she thought!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

For all the Clinton supporters who say they will never vote for Obama, hear this:

You vote for Mr. McCain, just remember,

We will continue to be at war in Iraq and your kids will continue to be killed for war that should have never been started.

He will change the Supreme Court. A couple of the Justices are getting old and wanting to step down. So there will go your civil liberties, women's right to chose, hadius corpus, etc, etc.

The Nations deficit will continue to grow and health care for all Americans will not happen.

Think twice before you commit to destroying your own lives. This is the year for the democrats to take our country back. This was a fair primary, nobody cheated or stole anything.

Sore losers never win. Not all Americans want to go down in flames with you just because you are mad. Mrs. Hillary is putting up, and have been putting up a good fight. I commend her for that. And if she wins, this Obama supporter will vote for her.

This is for real people... wake up and stop being mad.

An appeal to West Virginia voters:

48 years ago you had the courage and wisdom to vote for John F. Kennedy in your primary election. That WV primary was a turning point in US history, proving Protestant voters would accept a Roman Catholic, i.e. someone different. Let's show similar courage and wisdom by voting for Sen. Obama, whose race happens to be mixed African and Caucausian, i.e. someone different.

Obama is a brilliant leader with core Democratic values. He has demonstrated great insight into toughest issues and is capable of leading Americans in the way Franklin Roosevelt did.

Shame on DNC and CNN for pushing Obama on American people. Look at all the terrorist friends that Obama has and DNC igoing to look the other way a.in the name of winning the election by all means necessary behavior. I feel sorry for America if Obama becomes President. May God forbid that from happening.

Blue Collar (the poster) Thank you for your words.

People don't vote McCain out of spite. Do your believes and moral principals mean so little to you?

I don't like Hillary, but I like McCain even less.

I plan on voting Democrat. There is really little differences between Hill & Barak.

Vote smart not out of spite.

If Florida and Michigan played by the rules, we would not be in this mess....
If Bill Clinton didn't use the phrase "fairy tale," and upset Obama supporters, we would not be in this mess...
If Obama didn't have Wright as his pastor, we would not be in this mess...
If Hillary didn't say she got the white vote, we would not be in this mess...
If Michelle Obama was proud of her Country before Barak ran for president, we would not be in this mess...
If Obama showed common folk, simple patriotism my wearing a flag pin and properly pledging alegiance, we would not be in this mess...

I could go on, and on...The Democratic Party will see significant changes after the general election...one way or the other

Shrewd move by Obama. Don't even bother to spend any more of the 1.5 million people's money that donated to his campaign fighting Clinton.

Any Obama campaign resources should not be sandbagged and reserved for the general election.

Clinton only hopes to use her legal appeals to fight for MI and FL which still probably will not be enough to catch-up with Obama.

We have till June 3rd, why call anything yet.
A large meteor may come out of nowhere and land on Barack.
Let's chill people.

We vote for Obama because he really wants everyone to stay on the higher ground and to bring US ALL together to fix this country. These comment pages are sooooo not what Obama stands for.

Some of you guys are right about Obama supporters. I am a supporter of Senator O and I said something on a previous blog about "why is CNN reporting on so many delagates" and as I went back through to see if I got posted and saw so many of Senator O supporters attacking me for a question to CNN.

You guys need to calm down and be more level headed.

I am a Senator O supporter that will support The Hillster if she wins.

IT’S 3AM AND THERE IS A PHONE RINGING…
HRC: I GOT IT!
MCBUSH: NO, I GOT IT
PRESIDENT OBAMA: HELLO

As an avid supporter of Obama, I agree that Obama supporters should be careful not to trash Hillary. But that goes both ways. Please everybody... let's be respectful. It's no longer Hillary or Obama that are the ones being divisive. It's We the People who are writing nasty blogs and comments.

I'll do wonderful things for the people, trust me she says, i'm one of you she says, hmmmmm think about it.......Hitler said the same things then look what happened and who says that the antichrist must be a man. Hillary just scares me and every pic of her recently looks like she is saluting someone with that extended arm and devious smile

Neither Lincoln nor Kennedy had much experience prior to their election as president, so sometimes character and innovative thinking can trump experience (Hoover had a hell of a lot of experience and was a quality individual, but we all know how that turned out....).
Obama has taken the low blows that typify our current state of politics, and has refused to go negative in return. His refusal to pander on the gas "tax holiday" was particularly impressive. He has the potential to be the leader this country needs right now, to change the direction of the debate.
And after 8 years of Bush, any Clinton supporters who vote for McCain instead of Obama in the general election have not learned anything; they probably still think there was no difference between Bush and Gore....

Who cares what that guy thinks... It's a state with Old White Racist people thats going with McSame anyway. Hillary doesn't care if racist people vote for her, "a win is a win"

Obama '08

I did not think the Clintons believe in "hope." It looks though that "hope" is all that is left out there for them, only that this type is a "false sense of hope."

THE ONE THAT CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER.
THE MOST QUALIFIED
HILLARY 08

It's such an affirmation to see the hateful rhetoric on the blogs by Obama supporters against those who do not support him. It has convinced me that my position is the right one. They say we are racist or ignorant and attribute states like West Virginia and Kentucky as being provincial backwaters whose residents are toothless, inbred idiots. They tout themselves as being educated and enlightened. Apparently they are not educated or enlightened enough to understand that there are many good reasons why lifelong democrats cannot and will not support Obama.
Well, guys have fun. If Obama is the Democratic nominee, expect him to be ripped to shreds by the Republicans. Expect an exodus of party members that would rather have another republican in office than a Democratic disaster. Expect a division in the party that will not be healed by November, and quite possibly well beyond. Expect that the arrogant and superior attitude of Obama and his supporters will have a nasty backlash.
Make hay while the sun shines guys, as your day in the sun is soon to end. Your candidate will wind up being seen for what he really is, an arrogant empty suit who has accomplished nothing during his entire political career. It will be fun for the rest of us to watch. I support Senator Clinton and urge all Clinton supporters to either support McCain in the fall or stay home. We don’t need a Democratic empty suit in the White House.

Danny G:

Just another example that people are voting for Bill and not Hillary.

Its Time to Stand Up for Hillary!!! Hillary has been robbed the nomination. From day 1 the Media has been hard on her. It took until SNL called them out to look at Obama more. By that time Obamas spell has been cast on them and they would not care what he did, they are going to vote for him. What has he done? NOTHING!!! In the Senate for 18 months before he started to run? Come on? And you guys want to just hand over the Role of President to him? NO!!

I, like MANY others will not vote for him and will vote for McCain or just stay home. I would rather vote for someone I know what I'm getting, then vote for Obama who has proved he can do nothing but give an ok speech.

Obama supporters have been the most hateful group of people I have seen. Just read the Ticker over the last 4 months. I have noticed its ok to be sexist and play on that, but don’t you dare say 91% of the blacks voted for Obama. I could care less and I'm happy they are voting for him. But the double standard comes when women or white people (Ohio, Penn, Indiana) vote for Hillary. Just because someone doesn't like Obama and they are white doesn’t mean the are racist. You guys have beat that to death. Now with West Virginia and Kentucky coming up you are at it again. SAD SAD SAD!

Hillary Clinton needs to run as an Independent. I'm pretty sure she could win as an Independent with the supporters. I'm also sure once the election goes on, People will take notice that Obama is just not ready and as we learn more will understand that Hillary is the only choice. The pundits keep saying that Hillary could never win w/o the AA vote, Well Obama can not win w/o 50% of Hillary's supporters.

Hillary 08 Independent!

well, we ought to wait for all the states to vote, no matter what she says and does, we have our Nominee.
Has anyone noticed how everyone is so afraid to tell it like it is, that she needs to leave, but everyone is walking over egg shells, this must be how billy boo walks every day, that is scary.

yes that is me, billary aka hillary, bill, and chelsea.. vote for us, you will get not one, but three of us, plus the above list.......and more... more surprises, but in the mean time, give us your vote, your time, and specially your money.............

When Obama loses the GE, it will be his own and his supporters fault, and nothing to do with Hillary.
Nobody can win with only 90% of the black vote. You're going to need some of us old, uneducated (not), bitter white people.
I'm not going to vote for anyone who shows me such little respect. I may not vote for McCain, but I'm not motivated to donate to or work for Obama.
Obama is the black candidate because that is what he and his supporters have made him. It's not his race that bothers most of us, it's his attitude. Being elitist has nothing to do with where you came from, and everything to do with your attitude now. Don't be condescending to blacks or whites and you'll do much better.

To the Hilary supporter why are you so mad at Obama? He followed the rules that were set in front of him. He did everything that every other person in this race did and I just don't understand why you are so mad at Obama. Are you mad because more people voted for him or are you mad because he raised more money. I just don't understand. How you feel he treated Hilary unfairly. The reality of it was they were two great candidates and their policy are not that far apart whick obviously you believe in because you were voting for them. And now you are going to turn around and vote for everything you disagree with because your candidate didn't win.

I hate to say this being a woman and all, but, maybe women shouldn't be Presidents. Because look how catty you all are acting. Just as catty as your fearless leader. I think it is absolutely just silly to go against everything you believe in and vote for someone because the person in the party you belong to didn't win. If you believed in John McCain that much why didn't you just vote for him from the get go. If you like the country as it is then that's the best way to go.

Let's stop being silly.

Why is it that EVERY state needs to be heard in the Democratic race? The math says it's OVER. Do you see Republicans saying every state needs to be heard?

Ugh! This all about Hillary, not about the Democratic Party or the future of our nation. It's just about HILLARY, and she is absolutely poison.

All voters should have their say even though Obama already has won and Clinton can't catch up. We have to humor the Clintons so they can wind down their marathon. If you stop them in their track after such a long time running in a state of delusion, they would be in a deep depression state and they will forget to pay the little people they owed money to. As long as she pays what she owed and runs with more of her own money it's fine. But after this, the Clintons should join Gamblers Anonymous. It's a great trait to be tenacious but when you have to lie (tell voters to turn off TV, radio so they won't know the truth), cheat (change the rules to suit yourself) to keep going against your own family (Democrats) as in the cases of gamblers to get more money to gamble, it is not the kind of tenacity we should cheer on. Beware that our children are watching and learning from our behavior.

We are proud of our heritage and Klan mantality

For the Obama-bots –
The reason why West Virginia, Kentucky, Puerto Rico, and Florida/Michigan matter:

1.Democrats must win Ohio, Pennsylvannia, Michigan, Florida, California, and New Jersey to win the White House.

2.The more you continue to alienate Clinton supporters, the more likely some will vote for John McCain. Because the House and Senate majority is Democratic, McCain would not be able to inflict the type of damage GW Bush did and McCain would only be a one-termer.

3. Latinos, Asians, older voters, and all non-African American minority voters may not vote for Obama – despite his ability to cast his spell over some. If he splits Latinos, blue collar, and older voters, Obama can not win with only the Liberal elite, 1st timers, and African-American voters.

4. If the name calling and disrespectful treatment of Senator Clinton continues, you can count on at least a 25-30% defection of Reagan Democrats "aka" blue collar conservative Dems, going over to the McCain corner. And moderate/conservative Independents as well.

Remember: Mind you manners – Obama-bots!

Suzy get your facts straight before you keep posting lies Obama has already been to West Virginia and he is also campaigning in FL and MI this week as part of his GE campaign start up get a clue and read beyond the headline it will help you not look so uneducated when you post!

go Obama 08 Yes We Can

people please understand, a vote for McCain in the fall is a vote for the "DRAFT". we don't have enough troops to go around. If you have a Son,Nephew,Cousin or a Grandson you'll be voting to send them to a war we shouldn't be in. Is it worth it, not to vote for Obama because Hillary loses?????

WE THINK IT IS STILL PREMATURE FOR ALL THE SUPER DELEGATES TO CALL THE NOMINATION FOR OBAMA AND DISREGARD THE VOTERS OF BOTH MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA.
WE HEAR THAT OBAMA PLANS TO DECLARE VICTORY SOON.
NOW , IF OBAMA OR HIS AIDES ARE PREPARED TO OFFER HILLARY CLINTON THE VP SPOT. THE CAMPAIGN WILL PROBABLY END RIGHT THEN AND THERE., IF HILLARY WILL ACCEPT AS SHE MIGHT WELL DO. KEEPING HER OUT OF THAT SPOT IF SHE LOSES THE NOMINATION, WILL ANGER NOT ONLY HER LOYAL AND HUGE NUMBERS OF SUPPORTERS / CONSTITUENTS BUT INDEPENDENTS AS WELL. IT IS PREMATURE TO CALL THE NOMINATION BEFORE SEATING THE MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA
DELEGATIONS.

Hillary has ZERO experience being the President, so that makes it a fair run against everyone else.

And btw Hillbots – those of you planning to "tank" the election for Obama so that Hillary can run again in 2012....don't forget that turnabout would be fair play. And trust me, you would have a LEGION of angry Americans if Clinton were to torpedo Obama for the general election.

Your candidate would feel the wrath if she were to ever run again.

I get so disheartened when I read these blog comments. I don't mind if Hillary stays in the race, as long as she quits the "kitchen sink catastrophe" that is tearing our party apart. Before all of that strategy happened, I felt she was a very divisive politician. My feelings were dead on correct. Our party is near the breaking point, at a point where we really need to pull together to beat the Republicans. For so many of her "followers" to comment they would vote for McCain and even do the math knowing that it would hurt Obama more than simply not showing up shows the divisiveness that has occurred during this campaign season. I for one don't care for her personality, but I would vote for her because of what another four years of Bush strategy, economy, recession, war, and supreme court nominations would do to our country. After Bush for the past nearly eight years, we cannot afford such ignorance and petty "high school" behavior. "If my candidate doesn't win, yours will suffer the consequences" mentality. We need to unite our party so that we can win in the fall. I understand that nearly half of the Democratic party supports Hillary, however, the other more than one half does support Obama. Yes, it's clear that there are divisions within our party by gender, race, age, educational level, but if we are truly Democratic and these two candidates platforms are nearly the same, why abandon the party when our country needs you most? I am not an elitist; although, I do have a college education. I worked/paid my own way through as a single parent. I work for education, not the highest paying career, but I love our country and what it stands for. I do support Obama; I am a white, middle aged, female, I know that is crossing over the line of demarcation, so to speak. However, I am educated enough, or understand things better, and I would never vote outside of the Democratic Party for someone so completely supportive of what we have been going through for the past eight years. It's time to really reflect on what you stand for if you are a Democrat and stand behind those values. Let's not let pride or prejudice create a bigger difficulty for our country. My son is of draft age, and I didn't vote for Bush and never supported the Iraq War. So, I don't buy the argument that we should let go of our disapproval of who voted for that ridiculous war. I want a leader with sound judgment. To me, that leader is Obama.

I know that some don't understand the whole Reverend Wright thing. I can't say that I do, but I do know that I don't condone what the Catholic preachers did just by going to a Catholic Church. There are those who are not the best role models out there, but a congregation is the heart of why and where I attend church. I would venture to say that is true for everyone of us out there. It's amazing to me that we would complain so much about Rev. Wright and then have Hillary say it's not important that she doesn't even attend church-the last time she went she thought was Easter, but what does that matter was her exact comment.

One more point, the process of nomination for a party goes over the span of months. I don't hear Romney supporters, or other Republican supporters that didn't get to vote upset about the process when they realized their candidate wasn't going to make it. The other candidates bowed out knowing that it was impossible to win and threw their support behind the candidate for the party. It doesn't alienate voters if there is a clear nominee. It alienates past voters though if their votes are cast off as not important, because of a few states yet to vote that clearly back one over another candidate. WV, KY, you will support Clinton, but your votes cannot overturn what has already happened, and that is the numbers show Obama cannot be overtaken. Even Terry McAuliffe understood this as he stated on Meet The Press yesterday. There would have to be a huge catastrophe for Obama to lose at this point....something so crippling that it's difficult to imagine what could happen. If there were something still that big that's out there, it would have been introduced already. I pray we aren't referring to a Bobby Kennedy situation.

Oh, isn't this the Gov who's daughter received an erroneous Masters Degree from WVU leading to the provost resigning? Oops, yes it was

Woman given degree she didn't earn
Last week, a five-member independent panel led by two WVU faculty members issued a report saying high-ranking academic officers and administration officials showed "seriously flawed" judgment last fall in revising the academic records of Mylan Inc. executive Heather Bresch, who is Gov. Joe Manchin's daughter. She was awarded a degree as an executive master of business administration she had not earned.

Cronyism is still alive and well!

Why are you censoring comments, you are suppose to be subjective to the issues? I have several times on different topics tried to comment on Obama vs. Hillary, but, my comments are never put on.
Censorship is ......, not what this country is about. Are you afraid for you
viewers to hear true comments? I am starting to think this are all fake
comments you post.

anyone but obama the fake american and racist along with his racist wife. Change don't you people know no one likes change so when he gets in office and "changes" things just wait while I sit and laugh at you because your whining about not changing. Do you even know what his change is? Someone tell me.

Suzy,
Keep reading the news dear, Sen. Obama had people working in WV and he was there this morning. He is alson going to Kentucky to speak with some voters there. He wants everyone's vote because he intends to be everyone's president. However, it comes a time when you know that certian states will vote republican regardless of how the candidate can benefit them. I think it has been concluded by the media that WV and Kentucky are two such states. Through it all, when it comes down to that war where we are losing our troops as well as the economy headed in a recession, you never know. Those same people might be able to see through all the mudslinging and vote for progress.

I encourage all Democrats to bind together and lets get those republicans out of control.

Stop it. Obama is NOT to blame for the politicking that went on behind the scenes in Michigan with the Clinton backed governor regarding our votes and whether it was important for them to count. And he is not your enemy now. The people who really want to know who Obama is – are finding out. You won't find him in most of the media coverage. He is an extraordinary individual – beyond race, gender and age. He alone has the sincere motivation to bring this country together – which we need to handle the issues in this world that just cannot be put on the back burner anymore. He is not perfect – and he knows it – but his heart is in the right place to represent you and me. And we've got some serious issues that need to be heard. Obama supporters all know that his presidency will require that we get off the fence and respectfully become a part of what we want this country to be. Quit fighting and being a part of the problem. Stand up – be counted and fight for the only thing worth fighting for – be a part of the solution. Understand that you may not know it all from the view from where you are currently standing. America unite.

Let us all get the record straight, if Obama does not win the GE it won't be because of HIllary or WV the fault will lie in Rev. Wright, Rezkno, Ayers, and all of the lies he has said to all of the American people. Obama is no uniter, he is no JFK, he is too new and all of you have voted for Obama because of hatred of Bush.

Bush defend America, protected us from another 9-11 and took us to a war that we had no choice but to put America first. Wake up you anti-war haters Al Qaieda wanted us all dead and fighting just in Afganistan was not the only thing to do we need to control the fanatical Islamic movement that wanted to take over the world. Have we forgotten 9-11, have we forgotten how much 9-11 has caused us. Yes, it true war in Iraq has been a disaster and its true the mortgage crises has hurt our economy, but we can not and should not forget what got us all into this mess.

Al-qaida and its leader UBL!

Anyone else think HIllary will cry on camera again today?

Enjoy yourselves tomorrow and let Hillary have her swan song before bowing out with a win under her belt. This will save her face and give her a look towards 2012. If she keeps going she will hurt the party and Obamas chances. Also if she keeps up this line that she can win and brings down the party. She will have a hard time back in the senate, where is could be the leader of the party.

TWO MORE 273 TO OBAMA 275 THE END IN COMING 20 MORE DAYS AND IT IS OVER FOR HER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had it with the discussion of a new kind of politician. Senator Obama's camp declared themselves the winner after last weeks primaries. How arrogant, even McCain is called the presumptive nominee, you are not the nominee until it's declared at the DNC in August. Of couse if let to the Senator why would we even have a election why not just make him president on November 3rd. Oh yeah I forgot that pesky constitution keeps getting in his way. I would never under any circumstances for Senator Obama and before the race card gets thrown out I am african-american. As far as I'm concerned I'm writing in Senator Hillary Clinton's name on the presidential ballot. Hopefully with all the people upset over the nimination process and the decisive fracture in support the inept Democrats will get the point. Listen to the people.

Clinton 08

I feel bad for Mrs. Clinton since, let's face it, Obama supporters will surely blame her when he loses to McCain in the fall - they seem to blame her for everything else. It won't be her fault, it'll be everyone who pushed her to leave this primary race to "unite" the democratic party. Give me a break!

Obama will not win in the fall. If Hillary drops out, I don't think I will vote for McCain... I just won't vote.

"Tobias May 12th, 2008 12:12 pm ET

The race is not over it is still close and if we want to win in November the super delegates will support Senator Clinton. Obama is not qualified to be president and he is unelectable. Clinton has been railroaded by the media as well as certain factions of the Democratic Party. You will see an exodus of people leaving the party if something is not done."

WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR EDUCATION FROM??? Hillary continually argues that she is the one with the experience. Since when is being the wife of a former president qualify as experience? She is doing nothing more than trying to ride on the coattails of her husband. My husband is a doctor – does that make me experienced in the field of medicine? I think not!

Coming from a highly educated woman from West Virginia, I would like to say that not only does Obama have my support – he also has the support of every other West Virginian I know. We'll see where the dust settles after tomorrow. I can't wait to see what kind of BS Hillary uses as her argument when she doesn't fair nearly as well in tomorrow's election as the polls are currently calling for. She's running out of excuses and things to cry about. She needs to get over it and give up already.

While Hillary's plight for presidency began as an admirable thing and something for young girls to bear in mind, proving that they are capable of being anything they want, at this point, she looks hopelessly pathetic and I for one certainly do not want my daughters looking up at her as an example. She's a racist liar who is out for no one but herself!!!

McCain 08 if unless Hillary is the nominee.
No vote for Obama or Obama/Clinton ticket...

if these states would have been able to vote in the beginning of the year,
Hillary would have won by now.
no, instead we have a dork now winning!

ashame all of you are so ignorant.

Hillary Clinton, evidentemente, ha perdido. perro loco.
usted ir a casa belicista.
América ha elegido Barrack Obama

Ooh, what a suprise, Obamites resorting to labeling anybody who is not part of their cult as rascists and rednecks. Grow up kiddies. Once your mommy and daddy are no longer paying your bills and you step out into the real world, you will realize that actions and experience count more than words. Stop watching MTV and Comedy Central for your news!

WV it was your leaders that said to the press that your state was full of bigots. Read Up!

Wow, maybe he's right, she does have a chance!!!!!!

Oh, by the way, besides the super from Maine, Obama has just picked up another, Dolly Strazar from Hawaii. But, it does not matter because she will win according the good gov. of WV.

SHOCKING!

You mean he doesn't want to tell his constituents that their vote is irrelevant?

Yawn.

Shouldn't the headline read, "West Virginia Governor is Totally Delusional"?

Let the next 6 states finish voting. The Michigan and Florida delegations will be seated and the delegates will be divided up in some fashion. The numbers still will favor Obama in the end.

No one is qualified to be president, no amount of experience prepares one for that job. There hasn't been a Senator elected as President since JFK. It's leadership qualities that make a good president, not the ability to keep repeating "I have the solutions that will be best the for the country and the world". We've has enough of that.

Obama got more votes and more delegates, that's the way it works. If HRC persuades the superdelegates to give her the nomination becasue she is more "electable " (ie, no one will vote for the black guy)
she will surely loose the general election.

You know, anything can happen, they just migt find out something new about this almost unknown, come out of nowhere, and too good to be true guy Obama. It's not over until the black lady sings !!! The superdelagates are not bound to either of them and can even change at the convention. We KNOW Hillary, but this guy has just landed on the planet basically. Don't be so quick to call this or we may end up be the laughing stock of the world.

I'm really proud of our Gov. I will not vote for Obama and so I think it's important Hillary Clinton stay in the race all the way to the convention.

She does represent my vote and as her supporter, I expect her to fight til the end.

Our party will not be unified because it's been taken over by the extreme left wing which obama represents.

Obama supporters don't think for a second that by calling Hillary names and trying to prematurely shut down the primary election process they alianate Hilary's supporters. Using nasty words for Hillary only proves that you are educated but absolutely out of touch wiht ordinary Americans. Obama cannot win without the millions who supported Hillary. Watch out your language! Go Hillary!

Every state needs to be heard! Whether you like it or not my friends. Obama shouldn't be given the nomination based on elitest ideas. The fact is the people as a whole (elitest or not) need to vote him in.

He doesn't have a chance based on our bitterness and clinginess to guns and religion.

Go McCain 2008. You are the best man for the job!

Tooth-less Wonder, Gov Joe Manchin you are full of it!

Our President Obama 08’ & 12’

yeah, so there.....if Hillary can make up some more horrid stories about him and set him up, trash him.....maybe have someone hit him in the knee with a metal pole before he goes out to skate....then maybe she will have a chance......they must be planning now....with all of their honorable and higly moral friends....thinking to themselves.....how they can make it look like he spent the night with male prostitute and two children.

I think Clinton has to quit. It obvious that Obama is going to be the nominee.
She has to face the reality before she hurts the party.
It is time to be united and face McCain in the general election.

Florida and Michigan both broke rules established a full two years before the campaign began. They knew it on the day of the election. They knew that the consequence of their action was to lose their delegates. They broke the rules in a bold face manner. They should not be rewarded for such dishonest behavior, and the voters of MI and FL should take their party leaders out of office because of this. The Democratic party of FL and MI have taken the votes away from their own people. It has nothing to do with Clinton or Obama.

Is Hillary Clinton a racist?

Just a quick note on the PR primary June 1: Although they are allowed to participate in the primary and the Clintons have actively campaigned there, we do not bring any value to the general election due to the stripping of the eight electoral votes back in 2000. Therefore, I ask my Puerto Rican compatriots to ignore this primary and do something more worthy of your time. Taxation without representation is what ignited the US revolution. Unless and until we're fully accounted for, what's the sense in participating in an election that is incomplete as far as representation goes?

BTW – I was born in PR and raised in the US, Air Force vet (Vietnam Era) and I am completely supporting Barack Obama. I HOPE the CHANGE will include resolution of the US/PR realtionship as regards fair representation.

Yawn.

As for Florida and Michigan, they're STILL part of the Union, but their party leaders forfeited the right to have their states respective votes counted in this primary by defying the Democratic National Committee– as Hillary commented when asked why she hadn't taken her name off the Michigan ballot!

Oh, but that was before she started getting the tar beaten out of her and before she needed to loan her campaign MILLIONS after running through an entire war chest of some 100 million dollars (now, THAT'S some great experience for ya!)...

That's it Hillary (and co-horts) – keep tearing apart the democratic party, and you ensure a McCain victory in November.

Hillary's experience? At doing what? Bankrupting her own campaign? If she gets elected (heaven forbid), will she name JACK ABRAMOFF as her budget director?

ANYONE BUT HILLARY IN 2008!!!!!

I hope the people in WVA and KY have read the Washington paper's news about the Clinton's.Hillary would lose the race for sure.Way too baggage for the Clinton's and the bad things continue to unfold.

Hey Mr. Govenor,

The writing is on the wall.....It Obama all the way.....GO BARAK!!!!!!

Llets get this playing around, over with and get serious with the candidate, which isn't Hillary.
Why waste the time with someone who has not chance now?

so this guy can't count

My dads from Shenandoah Junction WV and these people don't
lay down that easy for someone that's all talk, no substance.
They want someone who has real ideas not just a pretty talker
and that's Hillery Clinton.

CNN, PLEASE ASK AT LEAST TWO OR THREE H.R. CLINTON SUPPORTERS ON YOU POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS.

IF I HEAR DONNA BRAZILE SPEAKING AND PRETENDING TO BE UNDECLARED WHEN OBAMA IS OOZING ALL OVER HE FACE AND HER DEFENSE OF HIM IF ANYONE DIFFERES FROM HER THOUGHTS.

IF I SEE ROLAND MARTIN AGAIN TRYING TO STOP CLINTON SUPPORTERS FROM FINISHING THEIR THOUGHT, I WILL VOMIT ALL OVER HIS FAT FACE.

AND IF I HEAR CARL BERNSTEIN WHO HAS MADE A LIVING OFF THE CLINTONS AND WHO IS STILL MAKING MONEY BY SPEWING HIS IN YOUR FACE HATRED OF HILLARY IT IS UNAMERICAN..

SHAME ON YOU CNN. THE WORLD HAS JUDGED YOUR REPORTING AND HAVE FOUND YOU LACKING IN TRUE JOURNALISM.

Let Hillary Supporters have their say. I keep hearing that we're (Obama supporters) inspiring hate, racism, etc... I've been voting Democratic all my life, and now that a more qualified black man come along, I have to be racist because I choose to vote for him instead of Clinton.

I simply don't see Clinton as the answer to what ales the US.

But I won't call WV or Kentucky racist. They are just Clintons type of folks. When it's all said and done though, Obama has won fair and square. He played by the rules he was given and just out-campaigned Hillary (like it or not..)

Is it Obama's fault that Hillary didn't campaign better, or put better people in the right places...

Obama

This does not surprise my in the slightest. HE is from a back woods state who think it is the 1960's. The would break out the fire hoses and police dogs if Obama went there!!! If I were AA, I would stay out of that state.

IT'S TIME FOR US TO COME TOGETHER. OBAMA SUPPORTERS, STOP PROVOKING THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS, AS WE ARE ALL DEMOCRATS. HILLARY SUPPORTERS, STOP THREATENING TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN, BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE U ALL DON'T WANT ANYTHING CLOSE TO GEORGE BUSH IN OFFICE

Once again, who cares! Why doesn’t he just admit that he wants to cast his vote for Clinton? Its okay, nobody in West Virginia is going to think he's an idiot.

I would not say that the states of West Virginia and Kentucky are racist, like other people have post. However, most states like these have just been fooled by the psychological temperament of the Clinton Political War Machine. Most uneducated white blue collar voters have fallen prey to the Clinton mind games. But like the Hitler War machine, the Clinton Political War Machine has been defeated!

Yes We Can!

Hillary or Mccain 08

enough said..
a vote for obama is a vote for mccain

At least she and Bill have company in the state of denial.

CNN, Give it a rest. Surely their must be more news worthy stories than the Hillary and Billary soap opera. Your news coverage is looking more like the National Enquirer everyday.
CNN BREAKING NEWS : HILLARY WINS MEANINGLESS CONTEST IN WEST VIRGINIA ! There, I saved you the effort.

Why are all of Clinton's supporters saying its Clinton or McCain. They have nothing in common as candidates, except for the fact they are both white. If you all like Clinton and then vote McCain you are idiots. If McCain is the president all of you women who support Hillary can say good bye to your choice to get an abortion, they will be illegal. McCain will appoint judges to the supreme court who will overturn Roe v. Wade. So, I hope all of Clintons dumb supporters do vote McCain, then five years from now when they have to get a backalley abortion maybe then they'll realize how dumb they are!!!!

Go ahead and vote, WV. Every time people vote, Hillary's loss becomes that much more humiliating.

The DNC and the Superdelegates should put a stop to this. What kind of an example are we to the World Community? Hillary and her supported don't care about dividing the party.

Hillary Clinton don't care about the black vote she has already said she can win with the white blue collar vote. So if you are a black person your vote don't count to Hillary Clinton.

The polls that was done about 70% black would vote for Hillary in the general, dont believe it, that percentage is much less. Keep in mind she don't need our vote...

If this was Obama he would have been out of the race a long time ago.

It’s really sad that Obama thinks it is okay to lose West Virginia tomorrow. You can’t just shrug off this loss and act like it doesn’t mean anything, because essentially you are saying that West Virginia’s primary does not matter. The Obama campaign obviously thinks this. It is really unfair how the media is even bothering to cover the Hillary Clinton campaign. Because of the great media coverage Obama has gotten, is the only reason he is winning. The media wants him to win. They are forcing people to vote for him. The political advisors on tv are saying that Obama has won, when he hasn’t, and they are telling the rest of the states, who have not voting yet, that their vote doesn’t matter. Why is NC the deciding factor in all of this? Just because he won that state, it set off a huge storm from the media. Hillary is going to win West Virginia by huge margins, so will that primary cause the superdelegates to go to Hillary. She will win it big. But I bet the media is going to act as if it makes no difference. This will essentially help the Obama campaign, because the all of the media is for Obama. This primary season has been very unfair.

The math will not work for Clinton even a third grader can tell you so.
Florida and Michigan must not be seated. They disqualify themselves.

Dear Paul.....did Florida and Michigan not know about holding their primaries early would make them lose their delegates??? they are still part of the Union but insist on doing things there own way. No one to blame but themselves. Rules are rules....

Don't worry, Govenor. We're not waiting for you any. Obama is going to let Hillary have W.V. and Kentucky, and he's going to take Oregon.

In the meantime, he will have gotten another 20 or 30 superdelegates, and we won't need you to call anything. All you'll have to do is sit back and watch the fireworks when he wins the nomination!

I'd make some popcorn if I were you!

I admire Hillary very much, but I am an Obama fan. I think she should finished out the other primaries. Hillary is smart enought to know that the cards are against her. After the other primaries are over, she should concede in a graceful manner. She fought a good fight and she has nothing to be ashamed of. We are all americans and want the best for this country. I think Obama is a person with new ideas and we need a change in Washington. What turned me off with Clinton is the Gas-Tax idea, and also she said that White Hard Working Americans would not vote for Obama. Wow! Why didn't she say Hard Working People. It is not the end of the world by not becoming the president of the U.S. She's rich and has plenty of money. Hillary needs to help Obama win in November and I hope she will be his VP. What a ticket that would be!!!!!!

While the race for the Democratic Party nomination is n"not over until it's over," it is clear to everyone, including Senator Clinton, that Barack Obama will be the Democratic candidate for president.

Senator Clinton should devote the rest of her campaign to pointing out the differences between the Democratic candidate and the presumptive Republican candidate. If she continues to attack Senator Obama, she would still not win the nomination, only damage the Democratic Party and her own political career and legacy.

Why is everyone so surprised?? There are some states, where a black candidate will never be elected for any office – specially not the office of the President. But no matter the size of the victory in WV, she will not win. The math is against her, after WV and Kentucky Obama looks good in Oregon and the other states. Enjoy your meaningless victory Hillary.

I may be wrong, but based on the large blue states that she has won -
If….

a) all the elected house members voted as their district did,

b) Senators voted as their state did,

c) Non-elected supers voted as their state did

She would be ahead in supers – enough to win the nomination. No one in the media is doing that math…to afraid to go there???

It is really a shame that we have West Virginia, Kentucky that are some of the most racist states in the country.....I am a native Kentuckian....black and Appliachian....which is why I left years ago....people are very narrowminded and totally uneducated....and extremely racist...I know from experience...I would never live in Kentucky as long as I live....and anyone black person that does catches hell from the overt, covert and outright racism...........how can these people call themselves Christians with such a hateful outlook on life based on the color of someone's skin color........and the sad part about is that people like Governor Joe Manchin perpetuate this foolishness....and these people are suppose to be civil servants????......what hypocrits......

Since all the other topics are closed for comment, I would like to say that those of you who think the Hillary supporters who say they will vote for McCain...will really vote for Obama in November....you have another think comin'! I have voted democrat all my life. Bill Clinton was not my 1st choice, I was a Paul Tsongas supporter. However, Bill Clinton did earn my vote after Tsongas dropped out of the race. Obama will not earn my vote. He has done nothing to earn my vote, and he and his supporters have done everything to allienate Hillary supporters. I think the WRITE IN CAMPAIGN IS AN EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE. I would not have to vote for McCain, but he would win if Hillary did not. Think about the message this will send to the DNC, the superdelegates and the Obama campaign!

Time for Obama, the Obama Movement and the Democrat Party to focus our complete attention on McCain and the Republican machine. I know that I and millions of Americans are ready "to fight the good fight" to Obama our 44th President of the United States.

Yes! We! Can!

Tyrone Brown, Proud Obamacrat
Seattle, WA

Of course he wants future candidates to care about WV.

It's sad to hear that Clinton Supporters will vote for Mcvain in the fall, if Hillary don't win the nomination. I can't see any parent of a son that is 16+ in age vote for McCain. You know your son will be in Irag fighting a war that we shouldn't be in. Because won't pull our troops out until we win it. That means a possible "DRAFT " in the future. So vote for McCain if you want to.

Thank you Mr. Manchin! I like this guy!

So see Hillary supporter's – yes Obama will lose this state but -
listen to your Gov... after this race he will be working for Obama just like the rest of our party!

Go Hillary – enjoy your victory and hang in there!

Looking forward to seeing her and Bill Clinton stump for Obama!

He thinks everyone should get to vote? Uh oh, that's not going to go over well with Obama. Obama's got a 48 state stratey so far. Now he's ignoring KY and WVa, so he's down to 46. He wants to conceitedly declare victory in OR so he really doesn't give a 'you know what' about PR, SD or MT. So that leaves 43 states. I'm a democrat that will vote for McCain if the Dems are moronic enough to select this 'effete' for it's party. Can't stand the guy.

The race has been stolen, my candidates has been betrayed! Huckabee supporters UNITE! Vote Obama in '08 or stay home!

Obama fanatics = Bandwagon followers

Stop getting caught up in the hype. When that tape of Obama in Trinity Baptist surfaces AFTER HE'S NOMINEE, you'll have buyers remorse in the worst way!

By the way...I bet you lost all your money in the dotcom boom and am still waiting for that TV show "Jericho" to resurface.

So sad...

He can say whatever he wants – the race is over as far as I am concerned.

CNN stop your bias coverage of this primary. The American people are not fooled with your rhetoric. Obama will NEVER be President of this country.

BTW, how's your ratings now? You're losing viewers just like MSNBC losing viewers. MSNBC owned by General Electric used to do business with Iran. Who is Time Warner doing business this time?

OH oh....sorry hillary you are falling further behind...Like West Virginia and Kentucky even matter.

What a smart move at least the man is respectful to both candidates.

True, the fat lady hasn't sung yet but I believe it's over this time around.

Her argument has shifted from pledge delegates, to the superdelegates, to the "hardworking" blue collar white voters, down to the popular vote.....when it's said & done, who knows what the next argument will be...i agree that since it has gone this far that all the remaining contest should take place. Obama has never called for her to get out of the race or quit. Pundits, surrogates or supporters are free to say whatever they feel. At the same time she knows that if the tide were different she and bill would be hammering Obama to get out. heck the whole country would have been telling him get out with a much louder voice. i applaud Obama for the way he has handled himselft with all the controversies and his mishaps that he brought on himself....I was a Mike Huckabee supporter and Obama won me over!

Don't worry Gov., is all good....and this is what I mean by being honest. Tell the remaining "supers" to be honest and I'm fine with it.....and by the way, I'm sure is not that bad to make up some words......I mean, isn't that what politicians do???? Na'h, na'h I'm just playing, LOL!!!

Well what would you expect from a Clinton supporter..anything less..?

He is continuning more of the same stailmate of the Clinton campaign instead of party unity.

Yes..We..Can.. Barack in 2008

lets mrs clinton shows the mother side,that she is caring rather than promote the values women folks are not known for,telling whoever that cares that she is a figther,this is absolutely uncalled for,let her join ranks with democrat,the pple that has made it possible for she and her husband to reach the very top echlone of politics in america,it is very easy to destroy things than to build.let join hand to build a cohesive force against the republican.

Thanks Gov. for a reality check. If Hillary does pull off the nomination, there are a lot of people going to look awfully silly. Also, a lot people that were looking a job in an Obama administration that are going to be SOL in a Clinton cabinet.

Well he is smart to not be ready to call it for Obama, especially since Obama is going to lose West Virginia by a huge margin. Why in the world would we want to nominate somebody ELSE who can"t win in a general election. We Democrats just don't seem to ever get the message, and seem to be willing to run head long over that same cliff one more time this year.

Hillary or McCain

We need someone with experience in the White House

Hillary we are with you all the way!!!

They are forgetting about FLA and Michigan. When did they stop being part of the Union?

HILLARY 08 yes she will!!!

It is a pity that Hillary is using our preference of her over Obama to categorise us as racists who will never vote for Obama.
Having studied the circumstances carefully, I have realised she has been fooling us. She can afford to effortlessly lend her campaign $12million out of her $109million in just a couple of months; much more than she gave to charity (albeit her own family foundation) in 8 years.
She actualy supported NAFTA but has continued to decieve us she didn't; while sorounding herself with NAFTA lobyists like Mark Penn. She can't even use a coffe machine.
She does not understand the yearnings of hardworking blue collar white Americans. We are not racists and we will prove this to her in West Virginia and Kentucky.
Hillary cannot fool us anymore!

The democrates in West Virginia are smart enough to vote for the candidate who is best positioned to unify this country and harness the enormous potential in all americans to consolidate america's greatness and leadership position in the world. This country is greater than Obama, Clinton or McCain; our racial differences is a source of strenght not division; our religious differences is a source of openness not reclusion; lets see how the west virginians will make a mark in the history of our time!

I was proud of the way that gov. Manchin covered the Sago mines disaster,but it looks like that he is letting race affect him the same as most of WV voters.Manchin has now lost my vote for reelection for Gov.

IT SHOULD SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO EVERYONE THAT OBAMA IS SELECTIVE IN WHO HE WNATS TO GET VOTES FROM – HE HASN'T EVENBOTHERED TO GO TO WEST VIRGINIA YET...
AND HE WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP WITH FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN...WHY? – BECAUSE IT'S NOT TO HIS ADVANTAGE...
NEW POLITICS??? I THINK NOT....
HE IS NOT READY AS CHRIS DODD HIMSELF STATED MONTHS AGO WHEN HE WAS STILL IN THE RACE...IT WAS AIRED YESTERDAY ON TIM RUSSERT/MEET THE PRESS – DODD SAID OBAMA DID NOT HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO BE PRESIDENT – AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN HE DOES???? CAN YOU SAY OLD POLITICS BOYS CLUB?????
GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!
HILLARY IS THE BEST!!!!
WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?

West Virginia – The New State of Denial.

Of course not thank god that West Virgina is not the one's that elect the president or we would always have a racist redneck President. Tuesday election there means nothing they are the 2nd to least educated in the country one of the poorest states and by far still dragging there knuckles off the ground. They have one of the biggest delegations of KKK and other white supremacy groups in the country also something that has not been reported with members of there state government elected officials whom have said they will not vote for Obama or any other black man ever!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

Now thats admirable...you can support one without hating the other! Way to go Governor Joe Manchin!!

If they want the cycle to complete that is fine...

here is what REALLY BUGS me about the Clinton campaign is...

THEY KEEP TRYING TO CHANGE THE RULES, THEY AGREED TO...

PLAIN and SIMPLE..THE ONE WITH THE MOST DELEGATES WINS!!!

UNLESS the Super Delegates feels the winner is UNSUITABLE!!

HILLARY and HILLARY SUPPORTERS...OBAMA IS NOT UNSUITABLE!!

IT IS OVER...OBAMA WILL WIN..

Not to be mean but does anyone care the clinton's are leaving out minority voters in her speeches about the base she has backing her. So I wonder how they continue to back her in this race and counting on PR for their vote on June 3 2008.

It's refreshing that some statesmen still respect the Democratic process. A model for us all : people, pundits and politicians.

That right let everyone vote. I can't stand the Obama camp. They live in a house of lies.

He is pulling for Hillary and don't expect Obama to get any votes. That is good for that state so then he can go ahead now and cast his vote for Hillary and not wait until they vote.

I see this as bias like PA with Nutter and the Gov. there. This is really a slap in the face with the big dog comes out and talk like this.

Hillary is entitled to stay in the race as long as she wants to.

As long as she does not pull out her knifes to back stab her opponent, we just don't care how much she enjoys her glory and fantasy!

ok Huckabee, I mean Manchin your comment is noted.

Good job!

The West Virginia Governor is up for re-election, so he wants to protect his status amongst voters. His decision to withhold his support for Obama is a political maneauver that benefits his personal career. Besides that, he belongs to Camp Denial anyway.

Of course he won't call it yet...clinton has lots of borrowed money to spend there.

Hillary has fought the good fight. She's about to pull out at least two more states. Obama has the math and it looks like he will also have the nomination. As an Obama supporter, I'm as happy as the Clinton supporters are sad. What ticks me off is the way Clinton supporters are shouting McCain if not Clinton and Obama supporters are shouting the same. If Obama gets the nomination, he's going to need the support of all Democrats to win in November. He will surround himself with well qualified people for his cabinet. He will also pick a good VP (hopefully Edwards). Unite the party should be the rallying cry on all of these posts. We cannot afford four more years of financial recession/depression, high gas prices, and the coming food prices.

Unite the Party.

Democrat 09

IF OBAMA LOOSES THE GE IT WILL BE SLICK HILLIE'S FAULT AND I HOPE WE REMEMBER NOT TO VOTE FOR HER IN 2012.

The race is not over it is still close and if we want to win in November the super delegates will support Senator Clinton. Obama is not qualified to be president and he is unelectable. Clinton has been railroaded by the media as well as certain factions of the Democratic Party. You will see an exodus of people leaving the party if something is not done.

The guy is from West Virginia. What did you expect?

It would be hillarious if this ended up like Indiana! Then who would Hillary cry to. I respect the West Virginians right to participate, but Hillary is a lost cause. Ask the people that she represents in New York as Senator what she has done for them, how many promises she has broken. I would also be insulted by her comment that she get the of non college gradute, hard working white people. Notice how she defines you! Think really hard, who will represent you, not just their own interests. Go Obama 08!

Who cares?

I am an Obama supporter,but I feel we should allow the remaining states to vote as long as Hillary does not attack her fellow democrat with more negative remarks.

Obama supporters know that WV has to vote, they did not break any rules and should vote however the end is almost near.

Obama 08!!!

so, it's just proves he's delusional just like old girl.
