Tonight in West Virginia Hillary Clinton crushed Barack Obama 67%-26%. Obama is widely expected to win the Democratic Party nomination for president. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, won with a 76%-24% margin over five other candidates. Three of McCain's opponents dropped out of the race two months ago. The other two did not actually campaign in West Virginia.
Still a quarter of the Repub base will not vote for that man.
What was the percentage turnout on the Dem side in WV?
The Obama camp will do a NC Bill: “What do you expect, they’re all white.”
I look forward to the Battle of Denver.
Obama, the gift that just keeps on giving...
Thank you, DNC rules, for making sure that half the people who voted Democrat this primary season get told to shove off by the superdelegates.
And that doesn’t even reflect how many declined to vote for the top spot on the ballot, or just didn’t bother showing up because of the guy who has already won the nomination, by all appearances.
Tons of bitter folks clinging to guns and religion in West Virginia it appears. By more than 2 to 1 ... just over 5 to 2 ...
