WV being bashed on CNN.com by Obama fans (Eleanor: job, house)

[David Kennedy]

No offense Harbor Lady but I'm not into daytime TV...not since Luke and Laura in the 80's...worked 3nd shift and everyone was hooked...
Mr. MoJo has a great big ego...when RCB gives up the chair, Mr. MoJo can take it without spending a dime...who will care about any of the scandals...he is smart...good looking and will not miss the opportunity.

I say we turn this around and proclaim that WV is leading the nation for the feminist movement.

Democratic presidential hopeful, sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., walks into the restaurant, left background, as Barack Obama supporters Doris Smith and her husband, Sterling, eat breakfast Tudor's Biscuit World in Charleston, W. Va. after trying to buy advance tickets for the Barack Obama rally Monday, May 12, 2008. "Oh, I didn't want to do this," Smith said, embarrassed, wearing an Obama T-shirt as Clinton walked into the restaurant. "I didn't know she was going to be here."

I can just imagine the reaction of some idiot from New England to this caption, "Wow, they allow black people in Western Virginia to eat in white diners now? I wonder if this Charleston is near Richmond?"



Seriously though....of all the places in the state you can go to interview West Virginians, they go to freakin' Logan County. You know, Charleston has a lot of people....or Morgantown. Hell, the Towers at WVU probably has more residents than Logan County.

No one ever comes to the northern panhandle, either. Or if they do, they find the guy with a stained t-shirt and no teeth to interview. And he's probably from PA anyway.

I think the Democrats would be making a huge mistake in nominating Obama, and I am as far from a racist as you can get.

[harborlady]

We have the option of donning our collective bib overalls & putting hay in our mouths since we know company is coming and they have certain standards....
(if i roll my eyes anymore someones gonna hospitalize me thinking I'm having a seizure)
Better yet, pass a law requiring anyone in the press wanting access to WV must properly identify themselves by donning bib overalls and make like an inbred look.

[David Kennedy]

This was a set-up...that lady knew Mrs. Clinton was coming...secret service would check her ID and not let her near Tudors if she had not had good credentials...Her R & I was checked in the parking lot before she ever got to the door.

She was lying when she said she didn't know Hillary was coming to breakfast...
Obama did get some news out of it...

I remember when Nixon would send a shill to the other camp and tell the crowd that Mondale had been delayed until evening...everyone would go home and Mondale would show up 45 minutes later to an empty parking lot...

That was a great stunt!

With almost enough votes for the nomination, why expend the effort ($$$) in WV to overcome a big Clinton lead, when those same $$$ could either be used in primary states he's more likely to win, or saved for the general election. For Obama, the cost/delegate ratio just wasn't favorable.

[David Kennedy]

$2,750,000 was all this primary cost the Clintons...$50,000 per county....that's peanuts.
If Obama wouldn't counter that small amount of money, it makes me wonder too.

When we cypher the cost of this election...it will reach nearly 3 billion dollars...

Call it Ad Campaign costs...3 mill is nothing for the news generated this week and Wv got some mileage out of it too...any Madison Ave firm would have charged 3/4 times as much...
