June 3rd cannot come soon enough. This primary, and the media machine provoking it, has devolved into a circus sideshow. My favorite part of the coverage tonight is all the "troubling exit polls" of the fine folks in West Virginia - like they represent something any candidate needs to build a national strategy around. Same thing for the "troubling exit polling" in North Carolina. Just count the votes, count the delegates, count the supers, agree on an equitable split of FL and MI, and be done with it.

"I belong to no organized political party - I'm a Democrat!" - Will Rogers

Why is Obama afraid of a re-vote in Michigan and Florida?
If he can not be over taken in the elected delegates?
By denying an re-vote he is alienating those voters against him in the general election.
Without Michigan the Democrats can not beat McCain.

What the results in West Virginia have shown once again, is that Hillary Clinton is by far the more ELECTABLE candidate than Barrack Obama to win the ELECTORAL COLLEGE in November.
There is a certain HYBRID of Democrats in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia who have certain core conservative values which are quite Republican in many ways.
The majority of these people will NOT vote for Obama in the electoral college. THEY DECIDE WHO BECOMES PRESIDENT EVERYTIME.
Do your homework about past presidential elections in this country before you start arguing.
Another point to note is that Obama can win in the southern states like Louisiana, South Carolina etc. due to the African American vote in a DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. HOWEVER, HE CANNOT WIN THOSE STATES IN A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION because the African Amercian population will become a minority to the white vote (overwhelmingly GOP) in those states in a presidential election.
You people in the DNC BETTER WAKE UP FAST otherwise Democrats are GOING TO BEATEN IN NOVEMBER if Barrack Obama is made the NOMINEE.
I know many of my young friends posting will disagree with my comments but I am looking at what I know will happen.
Middle America maybe outraged that at the state of affairs in the country, but those folks will be ready to VOTE for John McCain ANYTIME instead of Obama.
They made it clear in exit polls in tonight’s primary.
I as a person of colour you may expect to support Barrack. I know however through my life’s experience that there is still racism and bigotry in certain parts of this country.
I also know that in this life, one has to put aside EMOTION and instead look at hard cold REALITY when making critical decisions in life if you don’t want to end up being sourly dissapointed in the end.
This Democratic Primary is clearly looking more like a SELECTION than an ELECTION. Certain powerful and well connected people in the Democratic Party are determined to see to this.
They do at their own PERIL if they don’t see the writing of an unlikely DEFEAT on the wall in November.
A word to the wise is quite sufficient.

To all Hillary supporters: The 2008 version of the "It's the economy, stupid" is "It's the MATH, stupid!" Let it go. She's toast.

THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS WEST VIRGINIANS FOR

YOUR WISE CHOICE, IN VOTING AND SUPPORTING H.R. CLINTON,

THE FUTURE PRESDIENT 2009.

I think he tried to unite the party, Obama tried to call her she snubbed
him but she answered sen macains call, now what does that tell you
about how much she want to unite the party. Hillary thinks she is
entitled to the presidency and she will change the rules to suit herself
as often as it suit her selfish needs. She is not in this because she cares so much for us hard working people she is in it for the power.
How can someone worth 100million dollars really care about hard
working white voter ie she played the race card on the sly.

If sen.Obama had said that he would have been the talk of cnn, msnbc
and old lord Fox would have had a heart attack spinning it.

History has been made tonight in mississippi why cant it be made with sen obama winning with out the white state of WV.

Wow! McCain has never called to congratulate Obama on his primary and caucus wins. Hmmm…something smells fishy here.

You need to be civil even if your are dealing sleep deprive pathological liar.

Birds of a feather, flock together (McCain and Clinton)

Obama is unelectable. Not because he is a black man but because he truly has nothing to offer and has fallen way too many times. Too many stumbles, not enough experience, too many empty words, too many veiled attacks while he tries to pretend he's "above all of that," too many shady connections, too much elitism, too out of touch with the world.

Hillary isn't ruining him - he has managed to do that all on his own.

So you count her out.
Stop it,.
you, and I hate to say it "white male fools".Where is just the news. That is what I grew up on.
Now we have ladies and I like you there but you have no wrinkles
Nothing girls
And you are called senior anylist
stop it
you know you are being paid
hey fess up
now or later
the republicans will get 'ya
you will pay now or later
I say now

Isn,t WV a red state?Neither one will win this state in Nov anyway.

Maybe McCain wants Hillary for VP. LOL Boy Obama would be in deep do do if that happened. Clinton wins big when it comes to economics and her healthplan.

McCain is playing a trick here, certainly. Why did not he call the Dem candidates in other contests before?

McCain loves it! Hillary is doing all the campaigning for him!!

Obama called and Hillary checked the caller ID……it said "PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES"

Hillary, third place is good when it comes to race cars, track and field, or a hot dog eating contest………..but not when there are only 3 contestants!!

Enjoy your victory……..have a shot of whiskey (Canadien) and a beer. Savor it while it lasts. Come November, support Obama.

Yes surprise surprise Republicans and Democrats can be friends. Go Hillary!!!

Wow… She gained like delegates on him. Not long before she exits stage left

Let's go, Kentucky… we're counting on you to keep Hillary going!!

McCain called Hillary because he is afraid of Barack Obama. Did he call Obama on the NC win? Hmmmmmm

I am sure that John McCain was sincere in giving his congratulations. Hillary's vow to destroy the democratic party, er, I mean vow to continue going for the big win by getting the supers to vote against the people of this country sure bodes well for a McCain presidency.

I'm absolutely positive the republicans are grinning from ear to ear over this one.

Let's see now…the number of delegates needed to win the nomination has now changed!!!!!!! How convenient!!! This is unbelievable to me. WAKE UP PEOPLE

Wow…! Dummies for Hillary, thats speaks volumes about racism in America and those that vote for her. In other words you must be STUPID to be a Hillary supporter. Go Obama.

Craig you sound like a sore loser yourself.

At least the other 2 candidates are gracious, unlike Clinton. She did get a moral victory for her, but it does not change the facts. In the 1st five minutes of her speech, she pandered for money, and of course mentioned what the Bible says. I could not watch more than a minute of her speech. Howard Wolfson and Terry McAuliffe should hang their heads in shame over how they are trying to bully everyone into giving her the nomination, and with their ridiculous spin, hate, and race baiting in every nasty word that spews from their mouths.. I do wish one of these media pundits would come out and ask them about how her campaign paid for votes in Ohio and Texas! West Virginia, you just made this thing drag on and on. I am a frim believer in Barack Obama, and believe he will be our next President. Niver again will ther be a Clinton in the White House - they have disgraced this country enough.

Well,Well the conspiracy is complete. The wannabe commander in chief McCain congratulates his ally Hillary the other wannabe commander in chief, what a tag team!!! . I hope all you pretend democrats who will not vote for Obama if he is the nominee now see that a vote for Hillary is a vote for John McCain and 4 more years of Bush.

Obama 08

Wow, sore loser, and poor winner. I'm sure shhe'd make a GREAT leader with this kind of sportsmanship. It must feel great to know the only reason she won is because a large number of her voters won't vote for a black man. For shame.

SR, it's hard to fight the powers of divisiveness; give it time. If the number of Repbulicans I know who will be voting Obama in the fall is any indication, it's more the Democratic party that he's having problems with….and I wonder why that would be with him being the almost certain winner….hmmmmmm…..

I'm very confused on how people can call WV racist????? Is racism only a one way street??

I agree with SR. How long till Obama is able to "unite" even his own party? Apparently he'll need quite a few years considering its already been a year!

‘Applachia Virginia had no problem voting for African American Douglas Wilder in ‘89. Buchanan County, for example borders both West Virginia and Kentucky, is 97% white, and voted 90 percent to 9 percent for Clinton over Obama on February 12, but in 1989, it voted 59 percent to 41 percent for Wilder.

So, the notion that people are monolithically racist in Applachia and will not vote for Obama because of some sort of knee-jerk reaction to Obama’s ethnicity is largely false.’

Everyone we must now unite to fight McCain. Let's unite behind Hillary Clinton!

omg, she snubbed him? So much for getting the VP slot…

Hey there Sen. Obama, I thought you were going to unite the country and bring us all together? Is that going to happen any time soon?
