1. Your welcome! Hillary rules in WV and BO barely registers.

[PBS Poll-435]

14. Thank You!

And I appreciate a DU elder chiming in!

:hug:

[jillan]

2. I second that!

[PBS Poll-435]

5. Thanks Dear!

I loved your earlier OP!

[emilyg]

62. Third!!!!

[PBS Poll-435]

64. :-)

Thanks

[WA98070]

3. Total vote less than the margin of victory in N.C. less than 250,000. BIG WIN!!!

[PBS Poll-435]

4. Ummm?

I count 310,000 with only 92% in so far...

I thought ya'll were good at math...

[casus belli]

8. The point stands on its own merit. Even with the higher total. n/t

[PBS Poll-435]

11. Yeah...It is a smaller State.

A smaller State that borders two States in which Obama has BIG WINS.

[jsamuel]

10. actually it is 337,500 with 92% (Edwards included)

[PBS Poll-435]

12. Thanks!

:-)

[Renew Deal]

6. Great news for both candidates.

Hillary wins another state and Obama is a bunch of delegates closer to the nominated. :woohoo:

[PBS Poll-435]

24. 2209 Here We Come!!!

:P

[casus belli]

7. Get your wallet ready.

This downward spiral of hers is gonna cost you. And the longer it goes, the less likely it will be that Obama's supporters have the heart to bail her out. Looks like she's out 7 figures to make a point.

[PBS Poll-435]

9. Downward Spiral?

Is that what you call winning?

[casus belli]

20. That's what I call her financial picture. n/t

[PBS Poll-435]

21. She is doing just fine. But if you feel bad,

Redemption

[casus belli]

25. She's broke. Of course you think it's fine.

But it will be US she asks to bail her out. Which isn't fine at all. Get cracking...she's got a lot of debt for you to pay off.

[PBS Poll-435]

27. Thanks for your concern. Please add your voice to the suggestion box!

Right Here ---> https://contribute.hillaryclinton.com/may13.html

[casus belli]

34. Sorry, I'll leave that up to the fine citizens of West Virginia. n/t

[Bright Eyes]

13. Yay! She can be President....

of West Virginia.

[PBS Poll-435]

16. I don't know if *Virgina* was snark

or just sloppy.

But either way, it is Hillaryous!

:-)

[Bright Eyes]

17. Yeah yeah yeah....just fixed it.

I'm tired :P

[PBS Poll-435]

18. We are all tired!

Unity Ticket Time!

;-)

[SwampG8r]

50. you want a unity ticket?

then earn it by supporting the nominee
obama
and quit enabling hillarys self and party destruction

[PBS Poll-435]

52. I 'Wat' (sic) to win.

They are stronger together.

Duh.

[mountainvue]

15. Hooray West Virginia! n/t

[Beausoir]

19. Yep! All those hard working people that Obama considers "beneath" him turned out to cast their vote

Obama would do well to listen to the voices...the hard-working UNION voices that resoundingly REJECTED him tonight.

He thinks he is too good for Joe LunchBox?

[casus belli]

22. Beneath him?

I think you've got that the wrong way around. When 50% of people are telling you they won't vote for a black guy, it's not because they think they are less than him...it's the other way around.

I'm glad some of the less desirable examples of human being who have a (D) next to their name but have none of the core values are exposing themselves for what they are.

[Beausoir]

26. Obama is an elitist snob who can't be bothered with the people of WV.

The UNION people. The people who gut it out every single day of their life in the coal mines, in the classrooms or as nurses serving an incredibly poor state.

Your cardboard Messiah couldn't be bothered to even show up to talk to these folks.

[PBS Poll-435]

28. I am there with you.

WV was written off.

A Democratic State. Imagine that.

[Beausoir]

31. The cardboard Messiah couldn't be bothered with the "little people".

The UNION folks.

The people who go to work every single day and bust their humps.

NOPE. Obama didn't think they were important enough.

What a shameful politican he is.

[PBS Poll-435]

33. He went and shot 'pool' for a little while. And he went to bed early tonight.

That is his commitment for the working backbone of the United States of America.

[casus belli]

38. Whatever.

Seriously. Your statement is completely ridiculous.

[PBS Poll-435]

39. Except when it isn't. Like Tonight.

[casus belli]

42. Your candidate has lost.

Enjoy your empty victory. I wouldn't be rude were it not for your complete disregard for reality. Obama conceded this state to Hillary a week ago. He's focusing on areas where his money is better spent, and looking forward to where he'll have the most impact in the GE. Your candidate, meanwhile, is trying in vain to close a gap that will never diminish. She's won WV and will win KY, but Oregon will negate any potential gains she has made in the popular vote. It's done. Get used to it.

[PBS Poll-435]

45. Wow...I smell fear.

Reality?

Obama won the Confederate and Irrelevant States of America.

:woohoo:


If it is OVER*, why spend any money at all?

:rofl:

[casus belli]

48. "Irrelevant states of America?"

I think we're done here. But thanks for proving your concern for the working class only extends to those who vote for Hillary.

Best of luck to you and your candidate. You'll need it. A bonafide miracle couldn't hurt either.

[PBS Poll-435]

49. Idaho and Wyoming can catch a cruise ship, for all I care.

Yeah...I said it. Irrelevant!

[casus belli]

36. Only West Virginia has unions?

Sorry, union guy here. And you're full of it.

[PBS Poll-435]

37. Look at the 'strong' Union states....

Who has won?

Why?

[casus belli]

40. No hard numbers there. Why am I not surprised.

Why don't you doa little research on who has the most union endorsements. Then we'll talk.

[PBS Poll-435]

41. Union Endorsements?

How about UNION states. And UNION voters.

Not that "right-to-work" bullshit.

But, we know what the REAL answer is.

Why am I not surprised.

[casus belli]

43. Why don't you find some hard numbers to back up your claims.

Otherwise it's just blah blah blah, like your candidate.

[PBS Poll-435]

47. LOL...I will draw you a pretty picture, instead.

[eridani]

57. Your jackass of a candidate pushed Republicanism for weeks

And you think that's something to be proud of that would help her in a general election.

[PBS Poll-435]

23. Democratic States,

DO NOT COUNT.

Idaho will be the light at the end of the tunnel that is the 'Hope' movement.

70. what a bunch of bullshit.

please give me links to back your bullshit up.

thanks. I'll hang up and listen.

[k8conant]

29. I am disgusted with West Virginia and I live here!

I think folks maybe got carried away with the fact that they could vote big for the loser and the whole country would pay attention to us for a change. Hillary has been lying her way through it all.

My consolation is that she only won Jefferson County by 3.52% and in fact didn't get a majority (49.48%). In fact, Barack Obama won by about a 20% margin in Shepherdstown District which is the one place around here that Hillary stumped.

[PBS Poll-435]

32. Well, thank God for the small victories...

:rofl:

[gabeana]

46. I bet you don't even see the irony in your

"thank God for the Small victories"

now thats funny:rofl:

[PBS Poll-435]

53. Gee... It isn't like I wrote the post, and all.

:eyes:

:-)

[Diane R]

30. Big deal. Obama won every county in Washington state, and we had nearly 90 delegates.

[PBS Poll-435]

35. Now they each have one!

:-)

[Khaotic]

44. Whooo hooooo ...

Maybe the Hillary campaign can give a free t-shit out to everyone in WV.

[PBS Poll-435]

51. We don't need your used clothes.

Please http://hillaryclinton.com

:rofl:

[Khaotic]

54. I've seen some 'used' Obama shirts

But they have nothing to say about West Virginia.



And the people wearing them aren't both brother & sister, as well as husband & wife.

I especially like the fonts on this one.

[PBS Poll-435]

55. Yikes.

You can have that demo!

[Khaotic]

58. Sounds good to me

Why do you think he's winning so far ...



Funny ...

How Hillary's response has been, "enough with the big crowds ..."



Okay Hill, we'll take 'em.

Thanks.

On to the White House!

GOBAMA!!!

[mrreowwr_kittty]

59. And you can have yours. nt

[PBS Poll-435]

60. Consistent, Reliable Democratic Voters.

Yeah. They voted for Clinton.

:-)

[Khaotic]

61. The same crowd and formula ...

That lost us the last two elections.

Dean adopted the 50 state strategy, Obama has embraced it.

Obama is winning.

Since you don't get it, go think about it.

[PBS Poll-435]

63. I am not going to rest my hopes on Idaho & Utah, but please...

Feel free.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

65. And I'm not resting mine on West Virginia. Game, set, match. nt

[PBS Poll-435]

67. You are throwing away a Democratic State. I am throwing away Utah & Idaho.

Game. Set. Match.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

82. WV in 2004

[PBS Poll-435]

83. Yep.

Kerry couldn't even win NM.

Your point?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

88. That you despise a fellow Democrat? I think you've proven that point.

You must really enjoy all the GOP talking points thrown out by your candidate lately. Guess you're looking forward to that 'gas tax holiday' that isn't going to come anytime soon. Along with 'obliterating Iran'. :puke:

[PBS Poll-435]

90. What? Despise? Wow.

No, I just think that a Democratic State is more likely to "play ball" with a strong candidate this time around.

Rather than pinning our hopes on 'other' states.

[Khaotic]

73. Not resting any hopes on those ...

Resting our hopes on all 50.

One vision, one country, Obama.

Don't worry, we all get backstage passes, even if you don't believe.

Faith isn't required, just the rationale to step forward instead backward.

We are the change we've been waiting for.



But, if you like, even after Obama has won the White House it will still be legal to share stories of sniper fire while roast smores. The country will be better off and you can rest in comfort with images of those days of yore dancing in your head of your candidate dodging bullets over in Bosnia.

[PBS Poll-435]

74. Nice try.

Done with that.

We don't want 'change.'

Just change it back.

[Khaotic]

Done with a bare faced lie?

Hillary will NEVER be done with that.

Those were her words, repeated, again, and again, and again.

Those were not the words of her pastor, or anyone else.

Obama has been nice not to bring it back up, but it's the reason she has a trust issue.

People don't trust her.

She panders and would say anything to get the nomination.

The sniper fire lie hurt her a lot more than anyone can measure.



What a disgrace to the nation and our veterans.

By the way, I served and it especially pissed me off.

[PBS Poll-435]

80. And your outrage doesn't co-inside with your political preference, does it?

:eyes:

[Khaotic]

86. My outrage

Has to do with a major Democratic candidate pandering to the extent to make up far fetched lies about sniper fire in Bosnia.

You really don't get it do you?

Even though I'm a life long Democrat, that doesn't keep me from calling a piece of shit a piece of shit.

Too bad Hillary has pandered so much to become that piece of shit.

Very sad.

[Moochy]

113. coincide

coincide as in coincidence.

[JoFerret]

98. Your "vision"

scares me.

[amandabeech]

105. "One country, one vision, Obama."

That sounds a little too much like "Ein Volk, Ein You-know-what."

Very creepy.

[Khaotic]

110. Nothing creepy about One Vision

One man one goal one mission,
One heart one soul just one solution,
One flash of light yeah one god one vision

One flesh one bone,
One true religion,
One voice one hope,
One real decision,
Wowowowo gimme one vision

No wrong no right,
I'm gonna tell you there's no black and no white,
No blood no stain,
All we need is one world wide vision

One flesh one bone,
One true religion,
One voice one hope,
One real decision,
Wowowowowowo

I had a dream,
When I was young,
A dream of sweet illusion,
A glimpse of hope and unity,
And visions of one sweet union,
But a cold wind blows,
And a dark rain falls,
And in my heart it shows,
Look what they've done to my dream

Vision,
Give me your hands,
Give me your hearts,
I'm ready,
There's only one direction,
One world and one nation,
Yeah one vision

No hate no fight,
Just excitation,
All through the night,
It's a celebration wowowowo yeah

One one one

One flesh one bone,
One true religion,
One voice one hope,
One real decision

Gimme one night,
Gimme one hope,
Just gimme,
One man one man,
One bar one night,
One day hey hey,
Just gimme gimme gimme
OBAMA!!!!!!!!

[Moochy]

114. psst he's a black nazi

WORSER THAN HITLER!!!!11111

[mrreowwr_kittty]

66. 30% of WV Dems voted for Bush in 2004.

Not too reliable, in my book.

[PBS Poll-435]

69. Your understanding of history seems to be limited.

Please. Find a good book, a comfy chair, and a warm cat.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

78. I have all 3 of those things, plus 2 warm dogs.

30% of Dems voted for Bush in WV in 2004



http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/WV/P/00/index.html

[PBS Poll-435]

81. Yeah. Kerry sucked in WV.

Duh.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

84. So did Gore. So will Hillary.

When it comes down to it, they will pick the old white man over the white woman, even if she is Bill's wife.

[PBS Poll-435]

85. Yeah. Today proved that.

Totally.

When almost as many people voted for Hillary Clinton today as voted in the 2004 election.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

89. Yeah, okay. Over twice as many people voted in the 2004 general as in this primary.

[PBS Poll-435]

91. You are correct on this point.

Another pro-Obama person had written an OP about how 300K people voted in 2004.

I apologize. I should have verified it.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

92. Y'know what? No matter how bad Kerry "sucked", he was LIGHT YEARS BETTER THAN BUSH!

Yet 30% of the DEMOCRATS in West Virginia saw fit to vote for him. There is, quite simply, NO justification for that. WV had the highest percentage of Dems voting for the Republican candidate. This is why we "elitist Obamabots" don't put much stock in that state, when it comes to a willingness to vote for their own best interest.

[PBS Poll-435]

104. Well?

Maybe he could have fought for WV.

Rather than taking Bob Shrum's word for it.

[Lady-Damai]

68. Did she gain any delegates?

:popcorn:

[PBS Poll-435]

71. She is going to pick up 12-14 pledged delegates.

As far as "supers" go?

Eh. They are fickle.

They will come home to Mama!

[Lady-Damai]

75. Aren't pledged delegates fickle too?

Didn't one of her pledged delegates switch to Obama?

[PBS Poll-435]

76. I haven't seen one convention vote cast yet.

Have you?

[Lady-Damai]

77. No.....

:popcorn:

[PBS Poll-435]

79. Buckle your seat-belts...

It is about to get bumpy.

[Lady-Damai]

87. Huh? Bumpy? How?

[Secret_Society]

72. Thanks WV!

[PBS Poll-435]

93. Thanks Again WV!

:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[PBS Poll-435]

94. Final Thank You!

Thanks for the 41%+ victory!

We love ya!

(And I am coming in August!)

[ileus]

95. Let's Go..........Mountaineers!

[Beacool]

96. Yep, thank you!!!!!!

I have several friends from WV, thanks again for your support!!!

:bounce:

[Condem]

97. And in the end

West Virginia won't matter one iota.

[PBS Poll-435]

99. Write 'em off!

WV, you damned Democratic state, FU!!!

[Condem]

100. Maybe you could hook up with Kentucky

Or Tennessee. Yeah,that's it. Or Oklahoma. Than, maybe, we'd give a shit!

[PBS Poll-435]

101. Um...WV is a Democratic State.

Remember?

2 Senators
2 out of 3 Reps
1 Democratic Governor
1 Majority House of Delegates
1 Majority State Senate


Republicans in WV?

:rofl:

[Condem]

102. And will go repub in the GE. A bet, maybe?

[PBS Poll-435]

103. They voted for Dukakis.

You understand a very short segment of electoral history.

Please read.

For our future!

[Condem]

106. 2000? 2004?

[PBS Poll-435]

107. In 2000, Gore rejected Bill Clinton's help. (He wanted *change*)

And in 04?

Shit..

Kerry lost New Mexico AND Iowa vs Gore. And improved enough in a neighboring state to win NH.

[Condem]

108. prodn

That was great. Help us win, please.

[PBS Poll-435]

109. We Will Win

Seriously. We will.

[Condem]

111. Thanks, prod!

Have a good night

[PBS Poll-435]

112. You too.

There is NO WAY McPlane is going to get anywhere NEAR the White House.

(Except in a tour group)
