With respect, I don’t put much weight on WVa results. Boma is on his victory lap and did not elect to engage in the mountain State. This is like the winning team pulling its starters in the 4th quarter. Why bang up the real players? Why spent the money? On the other hand, Bill and Hillary and Chelsea are campaigning their evil butts off to land a spot on the ticket. We should try as hard as possible to stomp them down so they are truly history. Even if Boma gets in he will be ineffective. Too much the rookie. Congress would control and restrain him even if GOP lacks sufficient votes to sustain filibusters.
With respect back I see it differently. Obama didn’t campaign in WVa because he knew he had no shot of winning. Obama’s base is black, white elites, and the youth vote. He doesn’t sit well with white rural, suburban, union, less liberal democrats. (Thank you Rev. Wright.)
I don’t think a democrat Congress would control or restrain either one of them from turning this country farther left. Either way, Obama has a problem with a democrat base that his supporters, to include the media, are trying to keep quiet. West Virginia voters had the knowledge that Obama was the presumptive nominee. They sent him a message by 40 some points they don’t agree with their nominee.
