Think about this after WI who won more State why I didn't see nobody call for Obama to drop out this is not a fair politic.

I don't know about everyone else, but I am tired of hearing the MSM keep replaying over and over again Senator Clinton moving the goalposts, now it's only that she is winning the 'swing-states'. West Virginia is a swing-state even though it has paltry few electors in the general? The just happened to have voted for the winning candidate in the last several elections. that's called luck of the draw. As with every state West Virginia is important, but no more so that Mississippi, North Carolina or Wisconsin. CNN is arguably the pre-eminant member of the MSM, why do they keep giving free-airtime to Senator Clinton as she tries to strong-arm super-delegates into overturning the decision of the voters and giving the nomination to Hillary Clinton? being from Oregon I cast my ballot for Barack Obama over a week ago already. almost everyone I talk to is voting for Obama, I would estimate that this poll is accurate.

And she says she can unite this country when her current platform is courting one particular group & ignoring all of the others, which promotes divisiveness. She doesn't care about the young, white educated voter or the black voter. She claims she has the Hispanic voter but what is she doing to keep them? And now her pride won't let her bow out gracefully. She ran a negative campaign & it backfired on her. Her campaign funds are gone & those blue collar, older, white voters don't seem too willing to write her a check.

Why? Because if you look at the results from the Republican primary in West Virginia, John McCain got only 1% of the vote in that state that was won significantly by Mike Huckabee. Therefore, it means people in West Virginia dislike John McCain at least 36 times more than they may dislike Barrack Obama. These results just show that this state is in total disconnect with the rest of the country. West Virginia : As impressive her victory margin is, it is still meaningless in the big picture. Why?

Vice President Darth Vader (Dick Cheney) even campaigned for the Republican candidate and it didn't help (may have even hurt him).

I am not a Hillary clinton fan at all, but if she were the nominee, she would have to get my vote. I think some Hillary supporters are so closed minded and selfish that it's ridiculous. If I lived in Michigan and Florida, I would not even repect HRC. She agreed to not having those votes count. Now that she is on the verge of losing, she wants to be the martyr. Come on people...SHE IS USING YOU!!! She didn't give a flip about you and now she's your saviour. please be serious. And won't even own up to it!

Hillary and Clintons were formidable and tenancious opponents. Hillary had an impressive win in West Virginia the first since Feb. 5th, although voter turnout was lower than expected.

There is much that Hillary supporters share with Obama than they do with McCain. Once Hillary supporters realize that McCain is for continuing the Iraq War and sable-rattling against Iran, wants to continue the Bush economic plan, and plans on nominating Supreme Court justices that could overturn Roe vs. Wade, Hillary-supporters will back Obama!
