He did not vigorously compete in W.Virginia like in other places which shows that he's sort of complacent. Anyway, he should NOT think that strange events cannot happen overnight that could change the whole picture. Watch it Obama. I hope Obama is not taking things for granted that he's already clinched the nomination.

First, let me say as a resident of Michigan, "NO our delegates should NOT BE SEATED at ther DNC!" It is not the fault of the rest of America or the fault of the DNC that our votes do not count. It is the responsibility of our Governor and the elected officials of our state!" SHAME ON THEM! Of course, Hillary would like the "INVALID" votes to count as she was the only one on the ballot! It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out what is behind all that thought process! I am not a registered Democrat nor Republican, but rather decide who to vote for based on policies and the direction the goernment seems to be headed. As a Michigan Resident I can only hope that my home state is required to FOLLOW THE RULES THEY AGREED TOO PRIOR TO THE PRIMARY THAT WAS HELD IN OUR STATE! It is high time that our government takes responsibility for their "POOR" judgement to hold a primary that is in violation of the rules that they agreed too! I am sorry but all you CLINTON lovers need to realize if the Michigan voice is not heard at the Democratic National Convention they you should hold your OWN state responsibile not the candidates that ran a "FAIR and RESONSIBLE" race!

Bill Clinton got over 85% of the black vote in his 1996 campaign. What we are seeing are white voters who voted for Clinton are threatening to vote for McCain. There is a difference: If Hillary beat Obama in the Democratic Primary, black voters have proven that they would continue to support the Domocratic nominee no matter what color they are. Like I said previously, white voters are threatening to vote for McCain. When people want to talk about race and what it means to electing the President in November, it's an absolute apples and oranges issue. Black people would never vote for McCain. Never. White people who call themselves Democrats wil vote for McCain. That is where the argument of racism holds water.

The media’s presumptive coronation of Obama and trying to close down the democratic process of selecting our nominee is only hurting the Democratic Party and just shows that the pundits do not decide the election process - the voters do!

No, I am not satisfied with the results of the primaries. It seems that if you don't have media marquee value - you have no chance. I would likely prefer Kucinich or Edwards to the two remaining Democrats - but our strange system of giving power to a few "early" states means that the rest of have to pick through whoever remains. A sad system. Regardless, I will vote for whoever is annointed at the convention. McCain has some virtues - but he is a Republican.

Only two things can happen if a "team" does not make the playoffs.............1)They struggle in the beginning, 2) That team can't compete, 3) That team needs improvement, 4) And last but not least, you gotta take EVERY "game"(state) seriously........unless you clinched a playoff spot MANY, MANY MONTHS AGO! LOL!!!! Yep, who knew this race would continue after Super Tuesday......LOL!!!

We all knew she would win by large margins. Why is this surprising anyone? She is still behind. I don't think her expected win in WV means anything. We all knew she would win by large margins.

Virginia Dems want the race to continue - because they are solidly behind Clinton. I'm sure if Clinton were ahead of Obama in delegates and the pressure was on Obama to drop out then these same voters would be claiming that Obama should concede. The very fact that these people are coming out to vote in the primary indicates that they want the race to continue. Otherwise, they would just stay home and let Obama win comfortably.

We rely on the news coverages TOO MUCH and if I would have known about Wright before Supertuesday the vote would have been different. I do not believe that Obama did not know about Wrights comments. Especially while he was his spiritual guide and he put him in the same spot as his grandma. I really hope that Hillary would continue in the presidential primaries as an INDEPENDENT while clearly the voters did not got all the information. I will for sure not vote for Obama and if Hillary will not run as an INDEPENDENT I will vote for the the Republican party while I do not want us to make the same mistake as what happened with Bush. This was also the underdog and we did not know so much about him and look were we are.
