"To turn around and ask the very same people (W. Va.) a few weeks later to reverse themselves and now vote for him on election day in a state you've got to carry as part of that electoral college map. I just don't see it," Dodd said.

So the logic is, we can't let these people vote, because they won't vote for Obama, but we want them to vote for Obama, so why let them vote against Obama?

Why bother having a Democratic primary at all?

I think what he was trying to say, and didn’t say too well, was that Hillary might go negative on Obama, and convince them that Obama isn’t qualified to be pres, etc. etc. Then Hillary wins WV primary, but then in the general election, you have to convince those people who voted for Hillary that Obama should get their votes.

If everybody stays positive, it wouldn’t be an issue. But with the Clintons running a negative campaign, there’s that concern of how to convince the Hillary voters in primaries to support Obama in the general election.
