2008 Presidential Election

Clinton wins West Virginia primary by wide margin

I think it's likely Obama is the nominee, but not certain," said James Carville, the Democratic strategist who worked for Clinton in the 1992 campaign and is close to the couple. "I would have preferred another result, but I'm going to be for him."

"Everybody is going to be with Obama," he added, referring to Clinton staff and supporters. "I have an undated check written out for Obama. I'll send it when this is over."

The first thing said on this topix post is
I think it's likely Obama is the nominee,

Why dont the media give her a break she's accomplished more in one day than a reporter accomplishes in a lifetime.

WOW! 9 whole delegates for Count Hilldoggy BOW WOW Barf Bag. Too little too late.

Now, she just needs to replicate that victory 14 more times and she will be competitive again. Obama still has the commanding lead in delegates.

She knows she is toast and is only doing this to get McCain elected (for her return in 2012 to defeat McCain). She is campaigning for McCain by default.

Obama, the very candidate who created the flag pin wearing controversy and said he does not wear a flag pin because he lets his ideas show his patriotism is guess what? Obama now is wearing a flag pin on his lapel while campaigning in West Virginia. So now Obama has had a change of heart and wears the flag pin when he feels the need to pander to voters. So what is Obama’s real position on patriotism? Its is still being determined whether Obama was sporting his special 57 state flag pin. This must be a new “change” in Obama’s 57 State campaign plan.

Barack Obama, who labeled discussion of whether he wears a flag pin in his lapel a false issue in a debate with Hillary Clinton, was wearing one Monday as he campaigned in West Virginia ahead of Tuesday’s primary vote there.

Obama made no reference to the pin, which could be clearly seen in television images and through telephoto lenses as he spoke in Charleston, W. Va., about veterans issue. There was no public comment from his campaign.

Obama has once again shown that he is nothing more than a typical candidate as there is now a reported flag pin sighting in West Virginia.

No to Hussein Obama...

notice the soros-obama controlled media didn't mention the fact that obama dumped his election advisor today after it got out that he met with leaders of HAMAS!

obama's ties to terrorists & his sympathy for muslim terrorists is proven again today - but the soros liberal media gives obama a HUGE pass!!!!!

Folks, here's a sign of things to come!

obama will weaken America - and will let muslim terrorists attack the U.S. even worse than 9-11!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is about to snap mentally !!!!

She is like the Glen Close character in the film FATAL ATRACTION. She is relentlessly pursuing an objective which she knows is out of reach.

She is engulfed with classic paranoya-schizophrenia, on the verge of turning into a sociopath.

Her body language, especially facial expressions, is the mirror to her mind.

Her words betray her every time. She facricates stories and then attempts to cover her tracks. Her many tracks are getting so convoluted, she does not know where she left off.

She believes her own lies - which makes her a pathological liar !!!

And Hussain Osama Obama ......

He is tight with 'CAIR' and with Al Qeda. Tons of money are being poured into his campaign by his friends in Iran, Afghanistan and from Dubai.

(Why do you think he changed to a muslim name ?)

Did you think this guy was independently wealthy ? More so than the Clintons ? No Way !!

The muslims / islamics want him in the White House for obvious reasons and the Democratic machine is going along with it.

They, the liberal left extremists, are in cohoots with the terrorists and want to betray everything America stands for. The want to sell this country !!

Shame on you James!

This article shows a deep lack of respect for hard-working Americans. They didn't even tell you the percentages, but I will. As of 11:40 p.m. the spread is Senator Clinton 67%, the other candidate 26%.

Don't listen to the mad cries of the other side. Senator Clinton, you have our 'high five.'

As I watched her speech, all I heard was send more money. She gave her web address in the first sentence and then she ended up praising a young boy who cold his bike to give her money. She is in it until she raises enough money to pay herself back. She is not stupid, she know she has lost, but she wants the cash to pay herself back the money she has loaned her campaign. Considering the fact that her supporters are working class "hard working" people, it is disgusting watch her try to give up their cash considering she and Bill raked in 100 million over the past 7 years.

But...Senator Obama and his supporters try to fool us.

For....it's Senator Obama who constantly is saying, "Look at me, I've won almost 30 states, Hillary's only won 17 states." Like this actually means anything, considering the size of the states he has won.

With West Virginia's victory this evening, here's the latest count of electoral votes from states won to date:

Clinton: 300
Obama: 217

http://www.diversityj.com/ElectoralVoteStates...

After all, it is Senator Obama who keeps touting that he's won almost 30 states, blah, blah, blah. I was just trying to put into perspective what his almost 30 state victory really means.

And to boot, look at some of the states Senator Obama has won: Wyoming, North Dakota, Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Utah, etc., etc., I'm sure these states will all turn to bright BLUE come November. ;-)

PRIMARY PONDERING
What if ...?

By Bill Whalen

http://article.nationalreview.com/...

What If ... Democrats Had Changed Their Delegate Math.

“If we had the Republican rules, I would already be the nominee,” Hillary Clinton told reporters in the days leading up to the Indiana-North Carolina doubleheader. For good measure, she voiced the same thought the day after splitting the vote.

Whiny though it may sound, Hillary has a legitimate beef. She won the popular vote in every “mega” state save Illinois, but because her party allots delegates proportionally, as opposed to the Republicans’ winner-take-all rules, those wins didn’t translate to an insurmountable delegate lead. This negated a big win on Super Tuesday: though she won handily in California, New Jersey, and her adopted New York, Clinton‘s lead grew by a mere 44 delegate by night’s end on Feb. 5. March and April were no kinder. Hillary scored victories in Ohio, Texas, and Pennsylvania, but due to the Democrats’ quirky rules those three states added up to a net gain of only 14 delegates — an advantage offset alone by Obama’s landslide win in South Carolina, a net pickup of 13 delegates.

Apply the GOP’s delegate rules to the Democratic primary and it’s a different story. Rather than trailing in the delegate count. Hillary would have a plus-400 lead and the nomination would be hers. Twenty years ago, Democrats instituted a new set of rules that turned their party’s delegate selection into the political equivalent of a kids’ soccer game, where everyone goes home a winner....."

I'm all for Hillary. The sad part is that if Hillary or Obama gets the presidency, just about this whole country will be in an uproar. Sad, but true.

Hillary only thinks she is still in the race; the race has been over for some time. But please don’t let her know… it’s a secret we are keeping from her. She is basically running against herself, like a hamster running on a wheel getting nowhere. This is really getting sadder day by day.

99% chance she will not get the nomination but to be fair and to put it in the terms of sports; let her finish the game because if they don't she can bring the entire "building down" on her way out.
