“much will be said about the size of hillary’s win in west virginia but it is irrelevant.”
some reports have said that hillary does well with “working people” (in west virginia and kentucky) and obama with the “educated” (in oregon and wyoming).
will so-called working people go with mccain or will they stay with the democrat if obama gets the nomination?
(one guesses that the self-proclaimed intellectual geniuses will stay with obama under any circumstances.)
Exactly.
Hildabeast better hope Bambam doesnt’ have any true accidents because nobody would believe it was an accident given her history with dealing with her enemies.
Because by giving Hillary a reason to stay in the race (the faint hope of actually getting the nomination, not just sheer willpower), Obama must take Hillary seriously and both must shred each other for a long time. McCain is helped hugely because he doesn't actually have to take either of them on so long as the other is doing his dirty work. The Democratic party hemmhorages resources and is approaching tearing itself apart.
Hillary can't win. Obama is, indeed, ahead - and his supporters will make sure he gets the nomination by any means necessary. ...but so long as the race continues, both are well on their way to burning out. Simply declaring "I'm staying in this race" isn't enough, the statistical non-zero chance of her winning must be maintained and the outcome kept uncertain due to rule changes.
If not for Operation Chaos, Hillary would be the Democratic version of Ron Paul: still running, but nobody cares. Thanks to Rush, chaos reigns on the left.
