It seems that Hiliary is significantly more popular than Obama in WV.

But if Hiliary was somehow magically elected, would she really get all those voters, or would McCain get them?

Is this a question? Or a joke?

Objective Comment:

West Virginian's saw/let a personable lady charm them.

It was a love fest to say the least...they will remember that and support her.

The lowkey, almost absence of Bill helped a lot...the handlers are/were doing this right.

The money was handled right...sign handlers were on every street corner...an indication that some of the money was used for the election.

The people will remember her...McCain will write the state off...nothing here for him.

I'll toss out a question to candidates hillary and mccain for november:

What policies and plans do you have to offer WV's health as a state?
Let the better plan prevail, regardless of its source.

Okay, so its a love-fest for Hiliary, it sounds like.

Some of the news media is spinning it as WVers just reject Obama so completely that it was votes for Hiliary to reject him.

What if OBAMA gets the nomination? Would WV vote for the Democrat Obama or the Republican McCain (if Hiliary isnt an option)? Maybe that is my real question.

You don't give WV'rs credit for discernment, which I strongly take issue. They voted their conscience, the most probable hope for progress they could see among the choices offered.

No candidate is perfect, and what would it be if jesus actually were president, anyway?

Obama wins, I would likely vote for a third party candidate unless mccain starts getting his spine back and tells righteous right to mind their own yard. and gets serious about healthcare. and revamps his attitude toward iraq. and... oh forget it, third party it is. Maybe this is a republican strategy to divide yet again.

ROFL!! The MSM chooses to disregard this sentiment, but I hear it too often to think it's not going to matter this November

I envision this as a sign by the highway: The Elephant and the Donkey below the words : HAD ENOUGH YET?

HarborLady: ha ha ha ha ha ha....Wv's know that elections are a joke...bought and paid for and a good time for all. It's chivarious....It was time to party...and Hillary was OK! Love Fest for all...

Prediction:

3rd party candidates will throw this election into a QUANDRY...
and sadly, No Teddy Roosevelt to the rescue...might as well run OPRAH..
as everyone will be in the fray. The winning ticket might be Clinton/Obama

You heard it here!

Well, you know I'm not registered in either 2 party unless it's a special occasion (like now). Problem is for third candidates the race is fixed against them because of the nature of electoral college. Can't WV get it's surplus of lawyers working on this problem instead???

What's more, neither party is true to their mission statements. Renaming the parties based on the mud slinging I've witnessed these past 40 yrs, we should call the party formerly known as democrat: the robin hood party (stealing from the rich to give to the poor) and the party formerly known as republican: the Ole Boys Network (robbing the poor to make the rich obscenely wealthy, and cementing the door shut so nobody else gets in the club).
