CLEAR FORK, W.Va. - Hillary Rodham Clinton Monday compared her underdog quest for the White House to John F. Kennedy's 1960 campaign -- while her top strategist likened Barack Obama's sky-high confidence to George W. Bush's infamous "Mission Accomplished" declaration.
A Suffolk University poll Monday showed the former first lady leading Barack Obama by 36 points ahead of Tuesday's West Virginia primary -- which would be her biggest victory margin of the campaign. But analysts say a win tonight is likely to do little to erode Obama's lead in delegates, or stem the steady trickle of undecided superdelegates to the Illinois senator -- 26 in the last week alone.
Clinton swatted aside suggestions she would drop out before the final ballots are cast in early June, reveling in chants of "Don't quit!" from enthusiastic and virtually all-white crowds in West Virginia coal country.
"Democrats don't get elected president unless West Virginia votes for you," said Clinton, 60, whose motorcade crept through fog-shrouded mountain switchbacks in a soaking rain to reach this mining town.

And here I thought Obama was the new JFK. Now I AM confused.
Hillary, many Americans knew JFK. They loved JFK. Hillary, you are no JFK!!
Mr. Garin is a liar, aided and abetted (1st para) by Mr. Thrush.
This JFK?
Hillary can claim to be JFK all she wants. Obama already has dibbs on being the 2nd coming, and that beats JFK.
They probably wish every year was election year.
Yep, we all remember how JFK used the party machine to steal the nomination from the Negro. Clinton = Hubris.
Oui, Jean-François!
The only similarity is that Hillary and Jack both chase women...
Clinton compares her campaign to JFK
This JFK?
Classic-thank you. Perfect upper lip, too.
I’ve noticed that democrats never lose elections; they’re all “stolen”. What a bunch of spoiled children.
How so? Are you running booze into West Virginia the way the JFK campaign did?
roflmao!
now, that’s funny!
hillary’s not in touch with reality.
Well, the similarities are there to see.
1. Hillary wears pants, JFK wore pants.
2. Hillary has short hair, JFK had short hair.
3. Hillary is a Democrat, JFK was a Democrat.
4. Hillary is a senator, JFK was a senator before becoming president.
5. JFK won the West Virginia primary, Hillary will win the West Virginia primary.
6. the West Virginia primary helped JFK’s campaign to the nomination, because he proved that a Catholic candidate could win in a state with few Catholic residents. Hillary hopes to prove that a white candidate can beat a black man in a state with very few black residents. She said West Virginia is a test for her and for Obama. She even tried to minimize expectations in West Virginia for herself. Remember, in primary elections, you have to beat the expectations game.
Of course the elections are stolen!! The elites in Hollywood and Berkeley and Cambridge and the upper west side don’t know anybody who has ever voted Republican. Thus, the elections must be stolen.
