THE WASHINGTON TIMES EDITORIAL

May 13, 2008

Since Democratic President Woodrow Wilson won re-election in 1916 despite narrowly losing West Virginia, no Democratic candidate has ever been elected president without winning West Virginia. Prevailing in West Virginia, however, has not guaranteed Democratic success. In the post-World War II period, for example, West Virginia was won by Democratic candidates Adlai Stevenson in 1952, Jimmy Carter in 1980 and Michael Dukakis in 1988, none of whom won the presidency in those years. Thus, winning the state has proved to be a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for Democratic presidential success. After Mr. Dukakis narrowly won the state (52-48) in 1988, Bill Clinton easily defeated President George H.W. Bush and Ross Perot (48-35-16) in the state in 1992 and increased his margin of victory there four years later over Bob Dole and Mr. Perot (52-37-11).

Poster Comment:

Hillary has opened up a chasm in the Omama campaign; The hollow change and hope message he offers is questioned by white working class Americans. At this point, the presumptive nominee should be rolling down hill in states like PA, WV and KY - these must be won in the Fall. Hillary remains, winning key victories, for reasons only she knows. She's either hoping for a miracle, or working in tandem with McCain.

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)‡
