1. Hmm this may not be that dramatic of a blow out after all

just my two cents... will see

[Kittycat]

2. I think it's still going to be significant.

I don't think the Wright issue is the Issue with WV voters.

9. WV fooled by the idea that a tiny gas tax holiday would benefit them! as opposed

to oil co's.

4. not enough info

The results seem accurate enough, but I'd like to see the answer of how many Hillary/Barrack supporters would vote for the other in Nov. if he/she weren't the nominee.

[Kittycat]

12. Read the Yahoo link, I added in the OP.

It's there. Not good, but it's there.

[thevoiceofreason]

17. Funny thing about that-

With McCain garnering all of 1% in the WV Repub caucuses, most of McCain's votes will come from disaffected dems.

[Doityourself]

5. People still support that gas tax holiday? good lord...

[mckeown1128]

7. That's what happens when a popular figure running of the democratic nomination..

endorses a Republican idea. They lead other's with them...to the center(or in this case...to the far right)

[Egnever]

8. pretty much says it all right there doesnt it.

We do not want those people deciding our next president.

[Mass]

6. Even in WV, Hillary's supporters recognized she was unfair.

UNFAIR CAMPAIGNING

As in other states, West Virginia Democratic primary voters were more likely to accuse Clinton than Obama of unfair campaigning. Even half of Clinton's own voters said she campaigned unfairly, as did three-quarters of Obama backers. Three in 10 Obama voters said their own candidate campaigned unfairly while more than half of them said Clinton hit below the belt

10. 4 out of 17 U.S. voters think ketchup is a vegetable.

Whereas only 1 out of 9,768,454,543 think there's any cheese in Velveeta.

14. 7 in 10 voters believe that the 8-track tape will return to it's rightful place as the best sound

recording technology the world has ever seen.

[Kittycat]

15. Dare I tell you this...

My grandpa has had his 8-track player installed in every car he's owned, up until he sold his truck about 4 years ago to my little cousin. I kid you not :crazy:

[Bigleaf]

18. And your cousin did what with the tape player?

Please tell me that he/she ripped it out and:

a) ran it over
OR
b) gave it back to grandpa

;)

[slinkerwink]

16. wow. Race an important factor for Clinton supporters!

One in four Clinton voters and about one in 10 Obama voters said race was an important factor in their vote.

[Lucky 13]

20. And that about says it all, don't it?

[Khaotic]
