The Economy is always the issue. This is the reason why Iraq war should have never been authorized.

Yes, it is the economy and GW will be the worst president in modern times who completely ignored the economy. Why? Because he was waging a personal war.

He makes me so angry….tick tock….when is he leaving?

Of course it is the economy but it sure won't get better with McCain. We can't afford his war in money or lives of our children.
Obama

Wasn't this the same issue for like 3+ months??? I think there's no secret, I mean, we all know what's going with our economy. It just makes me a little sad because no one really wants to talk about the Iraq war. I'm telling you guys, the Iraq war should be up there. I mean, if the Dems wanna mention a tide between the Iraq war and the economy, then why aren't we talking about the war more and its implications????

Obama does not understand the economy.

Placed his student debt onhis credit cards.

Went to Rezko for a secret home deal.

FORECLOSE OBAMA !

if it's "the economy", what has Hillary done?
….it's more like "she's white let's vote for her"….redneckville strikes again, Annie-get-your gun type union bred blue collars in WV, nothing more.

What is the message from today's primary in W. VA? It confirms that the uneducated and under-employed are not voting for the best interest of the entire country. Even those people interviewed in that state indicated that the small number of residents that actually complete a college education (just 15%), leave the state….sounds like a state problem to me. Do they really think Hillary Clinton will change the economy of their state? The problems of the country are much more complex than the economy in W. VA. We need an intelligent, honest, and respected leader to set the "entire" country in a new direction. Don't dismiss racism as a primary reason for this win…. we may be more politically correct in 2008, but we should not be in denial about the existence of the covert racism which unfortunately, still exists and is concentrated in certain areas of our country.

I;m still trying to figure out how Clinton supporters can tout she will have the pop vote in the end…i did graduate.. i know my math..hmmm what did i miss?

Good thing GW had a much publicized wedding bash for his daughter this weekend, to rub salt in everyone's wounds.

Yes it is the economy. The GOP destroyed it with this war. Obama is the man for the job.

So let me get this straight. They are worried about the economy but yet favor Hillary. Hmmm…the same woman who dismissed the expert scholar economists who all said her gas tax plan was useless. The same woman who wants the taxpayers to bail out mortgage companies. The same woman who has to dig into her own pocket (which, by the way is a big old tax write-off) to finance her campaign. The same woman who delayed the release of her tax forms. Perhaps West Virginia should stop looking at the color of Obama's skin and look at the color of the disappearing money in their bank accounts because if Hillary gets the nomination, thats all they will have. Memories.

Exactly! This explains Hillary polling lead! It's the economy stupid! And poor and uneducated West Virginians hear the Clinton name (even though it is Hillary's last name reference) and think of the 1990s economy without understanding what made the 1990s economy so good.

These same Clinton supporters will mostly support Obama if Bill Clinton campaigns hard in the rural areas of West Virginia touting a Democratic Administration under Obama is way better for the economy than a Republican Administration under McCain.

Yes, I am concerned about the economy. What I am waiting for is the plan to fix it.

The economy is in the tank because of the war that both Hillary and McCain approved.

To all Hillary supporters, its been a tough race, but Obama is not stealing the election, he played by the rules in place. Rules that Hillary also agreed to. If you don't agree with the rules, thats fine, loby to change them for the next election, but they are the current rules in place.

Obama is not buying the election. His money came from over a million supporters that believe in him. They voted with their wallets.

The sad truth is that Hillary was overconfident that she would be the nominee by Super Tuesday and she completely screwed up her campaign because of it. Some year we will have a woman president, it just wont be next year. The time has come to rally around the nominee, just as she would expect if she was that nominee.

Dems:

Pay no attention to the group that is posing as Hillary supporters trying to rally support for McCain or Hillary as an independent candidate. They are just Operation Chaosers trying to stir things up.

Vote Democrat in '08!

It is the economy, the war, healthcare or lack of it, gas prices, food prices oh and let's not forget the almighty Bush who has managed to run our great country into the ground.

HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!
As much as 30% of Obama's primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.
Hillary Clinton has been out manned, out gunned, and out spent 2 and 3 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.
If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against US the voter, and against democracy.*******************************

Get real you three. Blame everything on G.W. Bush. Who will you have to kick around once he leaves office? I promised myself if Clinton got into office I'd leave the country. Thank God we are going to be rid of the Clintons finally as they destroyed this country.

Hillary cant beat Obama on the economy issue so she is saying that she is been WHITE all her life to the voters in WV! Hillary has lost and all she can do now is make herself look ridiculous; however she is hurting Obama not on policy issues but by continuous inflammatory racial comments.

Also all this talk of Hillary or her surrogates Wesley Clark, Madeline Albright, Richard Holbrook, Joe Biden and Joe Liberman in Obamas presidency, is outrageous. Hillary and her surrogates were clinging to the war swords along with Bush just before the Iraq invasion. Obama should not give these two-faced democrats a chance to mess up his presidency. I would trust more Colin Powel than any of Hillary or Bill's friends!

BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

It CAN'T be the Economy per the great Gimmick Candidate! She said it was WHITE VOTERS will NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA!

If it WAS the Economy then the Gimmick Candidate would have tried campaigning on the Economy but she didn't, she campaigned based on WHITE PEOPLE WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA!

CNN needs to get the story line right! unless the Gimmick want to change her mind again…….

Expected.

So McCain should do horrible come November.

Wow! The economy? You must be kidding?

Of course it's the economy - it's worst in small states!

Go Obama!

When Obama becomes president - those voters in WV will cry and thank Obama!

Obviously these percentages are wrong. The HRC zealots who would rather vote for a third term McBush than their elected party nominee must think GWB has done well with the economy and that the U.S. is on the right track since they indicate that they would rather vote for McCain! How do you gain Presidential experience unless you have been or are the President? My wife is a doctor, has been for ten years, doesn't mean I can prescribe medication!

HRC supporters who would rather vote McCain must not mind that we have lost millions of jobs in the first qtr, 200,000 homes foreclosed in the first qtr, 4,000 lives lost in GWB's war, and that gas is $4 per gallon, soon to be $6 per gallon in the summer months!

Not sure about you, but that bothers me and it can't continue! With McCain this downward spiraling trend started by GWB carries on!

Oh here we go cnn poor Obama now when he can't get the blue collar votes his supporters cry racisim and claim doors slammed in their face and such, maybe people are just sick of hearing about Barrack Obama. Lets go get them with hope and white guilt. I can take this any more…. Post

There'll aways be a balance between domestic (economy) and foreign issues. Administrations are usually better at one than the other. Let's hope there's enough talent in the winning administration to tackle both responsibly.

My vote for talent potential still goes with Obama.

That's why McCain needs Huckabee.

I bet Obama understands the economy far better than Hillary..Jeeez..just look at her campaign finances.

Barack 08′/12′

The economy has affected everybody. We need relief, and the beginning is to stop spending 3 billion daollars a week on a war no one wants. Obama can lead us in that direction.

I gotta say for all that think Obama knows nothing about economy; You must all think the earth has a creamy nugget of oil in the center.

LOL! We could have predicted 60 years ago how West Virgina would come out today! THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN! LOL!

It is clear to me what the difference is, the states West of the Mississippi or more progressive and educated. A lot states on the on the east side of the Mississippi still live in the past never fully understanding those who live around them. They stay locked up in there homes always afraid of those who are different.

Obama will win every state West of the Mississippi with the exception of Arizona McCain’s home state. Obama is well loved out here in the West we always look into a mans heart and see his soul . That is how the West was won we always look ahead. We do not have all the problems you have on the east side of the Mississippi, we always look forward instead of backwards.

The hate and racism you have handed down from generation to generation in the East does play well out hear in Gods Country. We are not perfect out hear butt we will give a man a honest hearing.

But don't forget, Obama says it is always about race first! No matter how WV turns out, the loss will be the fault of racism of "typical white" voters. Watch - he will get someone from his campaign to say it.

It is always #1 on the blame / whine list of the great Divider - I mean unifier.

As a liberal I hate seeing someone use race for his own personal gains.

All of the uneduacated simple white Democrats that you, Howard Dean took for granted, will be voting for John McCain for President.

So chalk up another loss for Deans Dozen. I would rather die than vote for Obama. All of my Democrat friends say the same. In reality I am glad, because Dean you turned your back on us, shoved Obama down our throats, now we're throwing up.

Seems like you old school Dems, Dean, Kennedy, Kerry really pissed us off this time. You turned your back on the Democrat's most viable candidate, Hillary. Now we are going to return the favor. I am going to turn my back on YOUR CHOICE Howard Dean, and will be voting Republican for the first time in my life.

At least I know McCain is a patriot, has pride, and shows and has shown his loyalty to his country. Therefore I will vote for McCain with a smile on my face.

I gotta say for all that think Obama knows nothing about economy; You must all think the earth has a creamy nugget of oil in the center.

Let's put it this way. I used to live in WV. Family still does. It's economy was never great in my lifetime. And I'm around 40. If West Virginia can feel the pinch then it must really be hurting.

This is completly unrelated to this story, but who are the 2 extra supers that went for Obama today. Come on CNN you told us about the other 3 who came out for Obama who are the 2 more you are counting?

It's not to late May 13th, 2008 5:35 pm ET

Have you been hiding in a cave the past few weeks? Republicans were voting for Clinton as part of the Operation Chaos. Have you not turned on a tv and watched who right winged pudits fawned over Clinton and trashed Obama? It's not because they all of a sudden have a love affair with the Clintons. It's because they want to bet the crap out of her this fall. Her negatives are the highest ever for someone running in a primary. The republicans are drooling to face her.

Google DEANS DOZEN

You'll see Howard Dean handpicked Obama.

O.K. i know it's the hillbilly state of West Virginia, but an exit poll today showed that those hillarybillys said that 63% of them thinks she is HONEST…INCOMING COAL LUMPS..

How can people be voting for Hillary Clinton when their concern is the state of our economy when Clinton's campaign is $20 million in debt!!! I am sorry but this does not make ANY sense to me.

THERE ARE MANY MORE POLITICIANS (DELEGATES) WHO WANT A
OBAMA-CLINTON TICKET THAN KENNEDY, DODD, LEAHY, AND (NOT A CHANCE IN THE WORLD) RICHARDSON. . WITH THE HUGE SUPPORT IN NUMBERS WHICH HILLARY CLINTON HAS BOING INTO THE CONVENTION. OBAMA CANNOT WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION WITHOUT CLINTON DESPITE WHAT HE THINKS.
PUTTING IT MILDLY, OBAMA APPEARS TO THINK HE CAN WIN THE ELECTION WITHOUT HILLARY.. iF OBAMA DENIES hILLARY THE VP SPOT. HILLARY CAN RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT. AND SHE WILL HAVE SOME POWERFUL PEOPLE BEHIND HER. LET OBAMA FIND OUT IF HE DENIES CLINTON THE VP. SPOT..

I just can't wait until November when the precious Messiah goes down in flames!!!!!

Republicans have been able to keep the White House because they know how to play the game.

Obama is the weekest link………Game Over…….Welcome President John McCain!

TO: It's not to late.

Yes it is TOO late. Do what you have to do, but shush. You're becoming monotonous and sounding like you may not have "all the dot's on your dice."

You kind of sound like a Republican.

So voters said the economy was their top issue.
How was the West VA exit poll question worded? Was it of the type
"Name whatever issue is most important to you."
or was it of the type
"Here is a short list of issues. Which of these (which we have prepicked to ask you about) are important to you."?
I would really like to see the exact wording of the group of questions which led to this printed report. I also saw that live report by William Schneider on CNN TV. My question was not answered there, either. Only a summary was given, with no record of the precise wording of the questions which they asked.

Will you please show us your questions, CNN?

As WV voter I will say that the economy is a huge concern. I would like, however, for the snarky media categorization of WV as "Bush Democrats" or "over 65 voters" to ease up; I am neither, and balk at both. I proudly carried a Kerry/Edwards sticker on my car until the current race as a reminder that I did not vote for Bush; I did not vote for him in 2000, either. I am also hardly near 65. I am not alone in either "category".

I was an Edwards supporter who did a great deal of research on both campaigns after he left the race, in order to make an informed decision as to whom I would support. A huge difference for me in this election was that Hillary spent a great deal of time here talking to us and making her stances and plans known. She cared enough to reach out, and the ecomomy was an issue of hers and one very dear to me as a struggling blue-collar worker. Obama all but blew us off; indeed, he is even going to make a speech before elections have concluded here today, all but outright saying we do not matter in my estimation. This does not endear him to me, although I like the man and believe him to be a good person. I voted for Hillary because I believe she has my best interests at heart, and she cared enough to come speak to me about her plans.

Hey what does it say about Obama if he cant get over 40% of the vote when he has "already won" this election.

Until one candidate gets the majic number neither is the nominee, even then its always open til convention

To It's Not Too Late…yes, it is. How many times are you going to copy and paste that same post?

This war has broken the economy,but what gets me is how that LAME DUCK GW BUSH is just sitting on his hands his last year in office.Not doing a thing about it, he will not even say we are in a recession.And we should care about Jenna's wedding?What about the 4000+ service men and women that will never have one? He is the worst president ever in our history !!!!!

hillary 80% obama20% yahoooooooooooooo,now hillary get out

It's so disturbing that for most hard working folks, democrartic & republican, the economy isn't really as bad as the bias media makes it out. It's good election year spin. Big government, more handouts through excessive taxation. Say no to Socialism, say no to NoBama!

Obama needs no help from the Clinton's in the Whitehouse, That includes all issues from Economy , to Iraq. It would be a desaster to Obama to have any contact with the Clinton's for his legacy as president. BILL RICHARDSON would be a GREAT Vice President.

You will see CNN and those superdelegates who support Obama, Republican will be in White House again. Many superdelegates is killing thier party 's chance in this election by casting thier voters for Obama. He, by himself, never become a nomination for DC if he didnot be supported by colar workers, low income and low education voters. These voters is strength of his party. I and my family are ready for McCain now. Wellcome to White House McCain.

ISRAELIS (THE JEWISH COMMUNITY) , HISPANICS , RURAL, SMALL TOWN AMERICA WILL SUPPORT HILLARY IF SHE CHOOSES TO RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT..

you know i,ve been watching this election, obama has been a gentlman toward the sen. you people are saying she has a chance and he can,t beat mchann he didn, even campagne there and still could beat her now thinks she can be a better president now someone bill,oreily,lou dobb,bush,mchann,maybe even sadam husaine wake him up tell him to tell her maybe she,l get it then!!!!!

You will see, CNN and those superdelegates who support Obama, Republican will be in White House again.

This would be funny if it weren't so sad. Remember HIllary;'s "he can't close the dea'…well Hillary, he's a lot closer to doing so than you are.
Also, I question the fiscal responsibility of a person who would keep piling on the dept when even a bone-head math flake can do the arithmatic.

Go O'bama, Go

The economy has and always will be an issue in West Virginia, it's just gone from bad to worst for them. Their major concern is certainly not going to be the environment because their bread and butter is coal mining. They won't vote for anyone who talks about the causes of global warming, such as coal, so there you have it.

yes,but war in iraq is cause for poor economy.duh.

Democrats always come in and fix the republicans mess. Please just vote democratic, quit fighting amongst yourselves, its the only legitimate reason why people dont like democrats. I'm for Obama, but really he can't do much different than Hillary. Just because they are president does not mean they can change much if the other branches do not agree. Our political system makes it so much easier to screw things up than to make things better.

Clintons want into the White House at any cost and even VP position is now good for them. Wonder why…. maybe she needs to payback all the favors her lobbyists now expect of her? NO, NO, NO, NO…. not the same old politics and the bickering in the White House!

When Clinton wins West Virginia by 20 or more points over Obama, maybe he can claim the results aren't legitimate because:

there were no AA or college student voters,

he didn't have time to actively campaign there because he is busy campaigning against Mc Cain already,

they are all bitter and cling to their guns and religion anyway,

or what?

You know I really love showing the hate filled rants of the Obama supporters here to friends and co-workers, it brings alot more people into the McCain camp.

By the Obama supporters how does giving $800 billion of OUR U.S. tax dollars to the United Nations help the U.S. economy? See–Senate Bill 2433, your candidates bill.

So, in W. Va. they are smart enough to know that the economy is in trouble, but not quite smart enough to know that the Clintons caused it.

jimmy—
if hilary would run as an independent, it would be like giving mcain the nomination and just skipping the whole process (which he werent so terrible i would have no problem with). not only that, she would blackball herself from the democratic ticket and never get a chance to try for president. political suicide my friend

I sincerely hope that Americans can look beyond any personal differences and vote the economy and war as priority…..any other things are sideline and distractions.

I'm socially conservative, so I would normally vote Republican, but I believe the Democrats have the best solutions so far.

By this measure, thank you senator clinton, but you need to call quits and back the almost sure Obama. We need your help.

Obama for President '08
Then based on his performance…we'll see about other years

Its just the way they planned it.Hide the War and make the economy be no.1.

IT'S TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC AND HILLARY SUPPORTERS HOW UNEDUCATED CAN YOU BE WHEN THE VERY PWERSON WHO YOU ARE VOTING FOR IS CALLING YOU IN ESSENCE STUPID!! CANT THINK FOR YOURSELVES..BUT YOUR PREDJUDICE WAYS GOT YOU STUCK ON STUPID…YOUR JUST WALLOWING IN THE ANALS OF STUPIDITY…GET AN EDUCATION…THAT'S HARD WORK..JUST BECAUSE YOU USE TO HAVE MANUFACTURING JOBS PAST DOWN FROM YOUR PLANTATION OWNING FOREFATHERS DOESN'T MEAN YOUR HARDWORKING..ACCORDING TO HILLARY YOU ALL HAVE WORKED HARD NOT TO GET AN EDUCATION EVEN IF IT WAS GIVEN TO YOU..I CALL THAT LAZY AND ABSOLUTLEY STUPID!!!

Swing State, Swing State, What in the name of heavens are you people talking about? It was obvious from "Day One" that West Virginia, would vote almost 100% for Hillary Clinton! This scenario was as ideal as you could get for Hillary.

Barack allowed her to shine in the limelight, by not campaigning in this State! In hindsight he should not have given her this respect. ((she certainly wouldn't ) He could have campaigned "aggressively" like Hillary falsely claims, but he is the better candidate, so I won't fault him for that!

cnn you keep telling us on television that you are going to bring us exit polls, over and over you keep repeating this mantra, I have still to hear about one exit poll! what is going on?

OBAMA DOESN'T UNDERSTANDS ECONOMY

ITS THE WAR STUPIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why should Hillary take the VP slot? She can stay in the Senate, or run for governor of New York and wait four years to run against McCain or whoever succeeds him if he choses not to run again. Because, after the Dean & Co. gift Obama with the nomination, he's going to get beaten like a drum. The country wasn't ready for McGovern, and it's not ready for an amatuer like Obama.

Hey Jimmy Velman..

Obama does not need a selfish liar to win the nomination. To the contrary, her name on the ticket will turn off MANY voters, especially Independents and Republicans.

OBAMA/HAGEL

OBAMA/BLOOMBERG

THOSE are the winning tickets.

We know its the economy, were not as stupid as you might think……

Hillary knows what to do, she has a plan

Hillary 08

Yes she will!

Hillary, we are with you all the way!

Hilbilly math. Only thing today proves is how *ss-backwards large sections of this country still are, starting with West Virginia…

How many important issues can even be considered if the United States does not provide the National Security desparately needed for our social structure to survive?

Where is the Powerful Corporations if business is threatened from within and without? I would imagine these Powerful Tycoons will be off shore where they are close enough to U.S. Might, but just far enough away to avoid taxes.

Isn't it clear to anyone that National Security is first and foremost on the fix it list?

Just wondering….If WV primary means so little, why are Obama supporters being so nasty. Is this the long promised change? Let's see, the past 8 years we have had to endure nasty disgusting far right attack machine now we're supposed to put up with 4-8 years of ugly mouthed far left nuts. Great. Is this the unity that Obama promised, can't wait.

Whoever wins will not make a difference!!! If you think that over the next 4 years anyone of these candidates will make a difference you are clearly delusional.
So if I get this right the president will….
Bring the troops home
Reverse the economy to a positive state
and what else cause i have never seen a president do that in a four year term. We have a longer road than November folks be smart and dont buy into the promises. This years election may be historical but not very impressive in any way.

If the economy is the issue, why isn't Obama proposing real measures that will give relief to Americans the way Hillary and McCain have been doing with the gas tax relief proposal? Because he is only talk and is just concerned about beating Hillary any way he can including leaving Florida and Michigan out of the 50 State equation.

I wonder if they understand that problem is world wide and not just state wide.

Why is it that CNN is not showing the voting count on the West Viginia primary as they did in every other state ?
Is it because Hillary is not as far ahead as they were expecting ?
I think her time is over and she needs to go ahead and endorse Obama to reunite the party.

Did you know that Senator Obama introduced the STOP FRAUD Act to increase penalties for mortgage fraud and provide more protections for low-income homebuyers, well before the current subprime crisis began?

Marcia May 13th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Obama does not understand the economy.

Placed his student debt onhis credit cards.

HE JUST PAYED OF HIS STUDENT LOAN DEBTS AND HE HIS 47… BEING THAT HE GRADUATED HARVARD AT 29 THATS ABOUT RIGHT.

HILLARY DOESNT THINK ECONOMIST KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT,

Let's hope that the voters are paying attention. If voters analyze and evaluate the economy with their own self-interest in mind, it is hard to see how they would vote for anyone who doesn't have an agenda that emphasizes plans to reform. That agenda should include reform of fuel production, health care, the future of social security, support for education at all levels, process of producing legislation in Congress, fuel standards for all vehicles, etc. The list of reforms needed urgently has become longer and longer as the GWB administration wears on! I hope that we end up with both Obama and Clinton on a Democratic ticket since I just don't have confidence that Obama has the ability and experience to do the job without some serious help.

SOME OF OBAMAS SUPPORTERS REALLY NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SPELL!!!!!!

AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THE UNEDUCATED ONES?

WHATEVER!

I HAVE A QUESTION— WHY CAN'T OBAMA WIN WEST VIRGINIA IF THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS SO IN LOVE WITH HIM?

THAT SHOULD KEEP THEM BUSY AWHILE!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!

HILLARY DOESNT THINK ECONOMIST KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT…

do you really want her fixing this problem without people that know what they are doing….

Hillary is a lawyer… ask any lawyer. If we were good at math WE WOULDNT BE LAWYERS

you want a lawyer to do your taxes or an accountant? and judging by Hillarry finance situation… she doesnt know ANY math

YES! When are the candidates going to talk about how that plan to stimulate the economy, bring about an environment that promotes the creation of good paying jobs where people can earn a decent living. When are the candidates going to tell us something important.

OH, DON'T WORRY MARCIA IT WILL ALL COME OUT IF OBAMA GETS THE NOMINATION!!!!!!!!

WRIGHT, REZKO, WILLIAM AIRES,LARRY SINCLAIR ALL THE DIRT!!!!!!

OBAMA WILL BE GONE!!!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!

As a Canadian, if I were a voter in the United States. I would be in a constant dilemma if the two Candidates for President were Obama McCain. They both seem like very humble men who have a direction they want to take the country. To slice and dice them down to their most finite flaws would be redundant as both men I am sure could do a good job.

I think Hillary is out of the picture and there is a good reason for that. Bravo America!

(IT'S NOT TO LATE ) FROM ABOVE,

YOU GOT IT SO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!

I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER!!!!!!

GO HILARY!!!!!!!

from Demo Dem:
At least I know McCain is a patriot, has pride, and shows and has shown his loyalty to his country. Therefore I will vote for McCain with a smile on my face.
____
Interesting that those seem to be your only qualifications for president. We currently have a president in office who loves his country and has pride and loyalty. Unfortunately that did not make him a good president. While its important that the president of our country loves our country, it's also important that he/she has a brain and sides with you on the issues you hold dear. I don't see how any real democrat can willingly vote for someone who goes against every issue the democratic party considers important. I believe that anyone who claims to vote for McCain just because they don't like Obama is not a real democrat and a republican in disguise on these blogs.

Vote the Issues 08

The Trillions sent overseas to IRAQ by reason of McCain and Clinton authorizing the war have taxed the American Dollar and the American Economy. The War in Iraq has wreaked Havoc on the Economy.

America needs a Change. As Sheryl Crow sang, "A CHANGE WOULD DO YOU GOOD".

Mike

All good working Democrats who care about America need to write Hilary and urge her to run as an Independent. She is the most qualified person in this race to lead this country. Choose your country over your party.
Howard Dean and the DNC have suppressed voters in Florida and Michagan who clearly chose Hillary. She has led the liberal cause against the headwinds of conservatism for over a decade and now we are asked to abandon her for a slick packaged unqualified Obama!!
how has he helped change Illinois? he didn't How can he change Washington, he has laid out no plan!!! He has spent most his time in washington running for president….. he is not qualified. I am a life long democrat who willl vote for Hilary or McCain before him.

Most WVs like Clinton's gas tax idea, don't they?
Didn't Clinton say that her voters are uneducated?
A shepherd is just a head of flocks.
With this shepherd, this flock lands nowhere.
That explains economy.

As a WV democrat I will NOT vote for McCain. Please stop saying I will, CNN. I want the election process to play out, without the media saying it is over. Once the process is OVER, and the Democrat convention CONCLUDED, I will support whatever democrat is the frontrunner. I just hope if is does end up being Obama (and, again, it is not over) he invests some time in our state and does not write us off.
