The primaries keep coming, and Obama keeps losing. He does not have the broad based support of the American people, and keeps losing in every rust belt state. Obama will win states with prominent black populations such as the Carolinas and rich liberal white states such as NY. But most other states do not support the demographics he needs to win against McCain. It is unbelievable that the Democrats have picked such a weak candidate to lead their party.

Robert Byrd (D) Senator from West Virgina has poured more federal earmarks into West Virgina and plastered his name all over the buildings and highways and such, I find it very hard to beleive that there is a problem with jobs in West Virgina, specially with all the free tax payer money Byrd ha brought into the state.

Of course Obama will have trouble in West Virgina....
Hillary told you why yesterday on the news....

"Clinton has been running well ahead of Obama in several West Virginia polls. The state's older, mostly white and blue-collar population hits the dynamics of Clinton supporters.

Just like Hillary predicted yesterday......

Dear West Virginians and Kentuckians,
In Hillary's interview with USA Today, she stated that the working white middle class of our respective states are uneducated and would never cast a vote for a black candidate. She not only called us ignorant but labeled us as racist. I call upon our respective Governors to denounce these comments. Our workers are highly skilled and trained. We are not uneducated. Let us show her that we can read and write when we cast a vote against her in our upcoming primaries.

No Offense but West Virginia has a total of 28 delegates and the population at least on the outside that appears to be predisposed to voting for Senator Clinton. It is very unlikely they will make the difference in the 160 plus delegate lead. Here is hoping they take the time to vote on the issues and and not the identity of the candidates. If they do that we all will be better served.

Barry Hussein Obama couldn't care less about any white working class West Virginian and how much they have to pay for gas to feed their family. That's why he hasn't shown his face there yet. They don't fit in with his egghead,youth and AA crowd that gets so excited about change that they nearly wet their pants.

Us Obama supporters don't mind if Clinton wins West Virginia.

I would like to believe that the democratic voters of West Virginia are smarter than that, however, if they are not, so be it. We will get the voters in the general. If Clinton keeps going like she is, the so-called Clinton Dynasty is over. They have certainly showed their true colors during this campaign.

It is the job of the DNC, its members and we, the voters to rally behind Barack Obama in the national election so he can win West Virginia. All of us must believe that demographics aside, we all want change of some sort. We, as Democrats, definetly don't want 4 more years of any of Bush's policies. So Hillary Clinton will win West Virginia, good, but to blow that into a Obama can't win scenario is much too dangerous for a party divided at this time. We need to come together to save our country.

WHY aren't people outraged at Hillary's comments yesterday implying that she is the only candidate that can get "white" votes? How about her touting the fact that she gets "white, uneducated" voters? Is THAT something to be PROUD of? She's saying, dumb people vote for me! I am outraged at how vulgar she's become.

I understand why her comments might be difficult for some to take, but it is the truth and at this point Obama seems to have a real hard time getting working-class whites - the majority of the party - to support him. He cannot win without them and, so Hillary case that she is the candidate to beat Mc Cain, seems to hold more water.

THEFT BY MANIPULATION. OF THE RULES COMMITTEE.... — Fri, 09 May 2008 14:22:30 GMT

The DNC’s ‘Rules Committee’ offers Hillary a significant advantage --- 13 of its members have openly endorsed her, and just 8 are declared Obama backers.

EXAMPLE: (A Committee Chairman is Alexis Herman, Labor secretary under President Clinton; another is Harold Ickes, the top advisor to Hillary’s campaign who is in-charge of stealing superdelegates and, another is a member of the Michigan DNC.)

The ‘Rules Committee’ has wide latitude concerning Florida and Michigan. It could uphold the rules and punishment it and both candidates agreed to initially, or it could --- seat the entire delegation from each state, split the delegations in half, or even seat all of the super delegates but only some of the elected delegates.

This is the REAL REASON Hillary is staying in the race. Hillary fully expects that the ‘Rules Committee’ with its almost 2-to-1 ratio of declared Hillary-to-Obama supporters will go along with whatever she wants regarding Florida & Michigan delegates. She believes, and probably rightly so, that the ‘Rules Committee’ will seat as many of the delegates from Florida & Michigan as Hillary needs to obtain the 2025 delegates needed to win the nomination.

IT WILL BE GRAND THEFT BY MANIPULATION. OF THE RULES COMMITTEE. --- A CLINTON DIRTY TRICK.

Ryson Chandler, NM — Fri, 09 May 2008 14:28:49 GMT

When you take an objective look at the divisive nature of statements made by both Clinton and Obama, it’s very sad affair. If you didn’t think for a second that Sen. Clinton wasn’t self-centered, where were you during the 90’s? If Sen. Obama didn’t have the Chicago political machine he’d still be hanging out in Chicago. This is evident with his inability to finish the race.

Most Democrats have unfortunately not came to understand what your party is made up of. It’s not a group of individuals with the same ideas. For example most Conservatives look for smaller government and less taxes (with the current batch of Republicans in office this isn’t happening). The current Democratic party is made up of special interests nothing more nothing less. When a hispanic super delegate says his vote is for sale for $20M, that’s a sign of a failed party. It is certainly a pitiful display for all of America to watch.

Everything we hear from Clinton screams of anxious desperation. I don't discount her for wanting to stay in the fight. It's like Mike Huckabee. They both are sticking in the fight, knowing they will not win, in order to bring to light the issues that the Democrats will need to address in the Presidential Race, but bring up the "bitter" comments from weeks ago is like trying to say Obama is a bad person because he failed a test in 3rd grade. It's over. He said his peace on that and on Rev. Wright. He's moved on from that. The media played it to death and now even they've moved on. The only people who can't seem to move on are the people who are try to influence the uneducated masses in America. Yes, I said that! Uneducated...because anyone with any sense of intelligence has moved on. The more people contintue rehash the "old news" the less power it has to sway anyone. Most of the people have made their decisions on those topics and probably won't be swayed to be less or more angry about it, so...shoot, I can't beleive I'm still talking about it now.

I am sorry that Gov Joe Manchin read Sen. Obabma's remark in the way he did. Obabma is for the poor, the working class. He is for all Americans. It is sad that some people want to tie him to Pastor Wright, if he is a senator doing his job, how often did he attend service, I had a pastor that reminded me of Pastor Wright, there were many things I did not agree with in what he said, but I love my church and he left the church, my church is not the pastor, it is so much more. I pray West Virginia goes to the polls with an open mind and sees who is capable of bringing about real change. I don't want the Gov't mandating my health care, I would much rather get the costs down to make it afforable for all. The Gov't mandates enough of our lives as it is, do not give them more leverage over our lives. Really listen to Sen Obama, I don't feel Black America is high on Hillary's agenda, but she thinks white working class americans will get her the nominee, West Virginia is not comprised of one race, but many. All I can say is please don't dismiss Obama over one comment that was taken out of content, because Hillary has also said many things out of content.

She seems to be having a hard time dealing with the fact that the possibility of her winning the nomination is slim no none. Her camp needs to be getting her mind ready for that fact before she has a mental break down of some sort.

I am a veteran, from Ohio, who is a Republican and who currently lives in California. I have followed this campaign for several months and have noticed that even though Mrs. Clinton is a strong candidate I worry about her ability to properly manage this country. She has a major financial problem with her campaign and our country already has a major deficit. What makes her think that she would be able to efficiently run this country. I keep hearing about her experiences, yet I do not see anything published that explains what those experiences are except maybe her association with Bill while he was governor and President. By the way I am White, and I most likely will vote for OBama because I feel that he projects the type of leader that I would serve and give my support to. I am also a blue-collar worker with an income in the range of $45,000 a year. I voted for Clinton when he ran because I felt that at that time we needed change. Now we need change again but a different type of change that will get this country back on its feet. I believe that Obama has the qualities and persona that will bring this country back to its status of being number one and I know that he may not have all of the answers, but we as a nation can unite to assist him in becoming a President that will serve the people as JFK did. As you can see overtime I have become an Obama supporter.

This is a 'white' state and the race-baiting tactics that Hillary is using will probably produce results beneficial to her. The downside is that we are all watching and we have memories. She has already used race as a divisive tactic and resurrecting this approach will confirm her racist tendencies.

I'm over 60 and a college educated white male so she has already marginalized me. Somehow she has made me into an elitist. The only difference between me and Hillary is that she has $100,000,000 plus more than me and, according to Carville, she has more testicles (3, I believe).

The demographics are good for Clinton. That doesn't mean that with a win in W. VA she is going to win the nomination. She would need to win 100% of the delegates to make some impact on the delegate race. The win would also help in the popular vote count, but that doesn't help much when only the delegates count.

To Clinton Supporters re: her remarks about Senator Obama not having support among white, working class people:

I know Senator Clinton, and by extension you, don't recognize caucus states, but could I just point out that Senator Obama won Iowa (just as an example). Aren't they working class white people? Come on ----- her comments were intended to be divisive and racially charged. I would really like to be respectful of Senator Clinton --- but her actions and her words are making it increasingly hard.

I don't know what her intent here is -- but frankly one of the things she is doing is making herself look foolish and desperate. And ya gotta believe that she wants to inflict the most damage she can on the way out. Too bad too -- she could have so easily picked the classy way out.

I hate to bust your pretty balloon - but it is time for realism here. As for the letter distributed by some of her supporters in Congress today - who knows? Are they afraid of offending her -- maybe they are just intensely loyal. Good for them. Loyalty is a good thing. But at some point, loyalty to a common goal should trump loyalty to an individual. To encourage superdelegates to overturn the will of the people is not a good idea.

It's funny -- although I do not support Sen Clinton - I thought at least she was smart. She has disappointed me so many times (I live in NY) -yet another disappointment.

Thank you Senator Obama -- you bring hope - a rare commodity these days.

Looking forward to the Obama Presidency --
