Not everyone in WV is a Democrat and of course less than half of people are registered to vote. Actually turnout is much better than expected.
God is always good!
Thank you both for the recommendation! I'm glad we upgraded from cave drawings to cable. Moving pictures, sure cut down on the chit chat.. ;)
Thanks RJ.. That's actually great news.... When common-taters ;) discuss percentages, but fail to disclose overall turnout, they generally skew the story.
LOVE it!
Bush: Worst President Ever
I have it on good authority that the Rev. Wright is known to put a bone thru his nose and roast uneducated whites in huge cast iron pots. I know for a fact they shrink heads, so don't blow this warning off lightly.
Was your world view formed by repeated viewings of 1930's Tarzan movies? ;^)
Check out my blog, America, the Bushieful.

38% of Democrats Want Clinton to Drop Out However, if Clinton does not win the Democratic Party nomination, 29% of Democrats say she should run an Independent campaign for the White House. Sixty-one percent (61%) of Democrats disagree. Clinton supporters are evenly divided on the question.
What an insulting cartoon. Picture Obaba on top of the black ghetto vote...I'm sure it'd go over really big with you.
"HOLODOMOR" is Ukrainian word for "FAMINE-GENOCIDE"
Yeah, the age old Cain and Able...better watch your back.

Clinton supporters are evenly divided on the question. Whoaaaaaaa!! I saw a little pie chart last nite illustrating the % dem voters that would not vote HIll or BHO, if their candidate lost. I wish I could remember the breakout, but the numbers have increased... I believe it was something 70+% would not vote BHO, and 50+% would not vote Hilly. If she peeled off to go Indy where would the money come from? Even if she did do this, it's not a given that her entire base would follow. However, it could probably follow that such an event would ensure a McCain win. Hilly get's a special prize then from McCain. Hmmmmmmmmm........
That was a very impressive win last night for Hillary. She won every single county in West Virginia. It was a total blow out. Obama has no chance of winning West Virginia against McCain, none whatsoever. Obama is basically unelectable after this trouncing.
God is always good!
McCain is happy to hear this.
I am amused by those who's lack of political savvy about where West Virginia fits into the context of this primary race try to go with this. Their spin doesn't cause anyone to sweat, and only shows how ignorant they truly are. ;-D
Their spin doesn't cause anyone to sweat, and only shows how ignorant they truly are. ;-D What if they held a primary and nobody noticed? Actually, the Atlantic’s Matt Yglesias followed the West Virginia result, and reports on Hillary Clinton’s easy victory with all the sarcasm he can muster: Her campaign is rescued from the dead. As the Clinton campaign sagely points out “no Democrat has won the White House without winning West Virginia since 1916; and therefore Obama’s primary loss shows that despite his large lead in the polls over John McCain, he can’t [possibly] win the election. What’s even more interesting is that no Democrat has won the White House without carrying Minnesota since 1912 (it went for Teddy Roosevelt’s Bull Moose party) so given that Obama won Minnesota and Clinton won West Virginia, McCain is guaranteed to win the general election unless the eventual nominee can somehow completely replicate the social and political conditions prevailing in pre-WWI America. The outlook, in short, is very grim.

Heh, I hope the feast of material for this race doesn't blow up the heads of the political cartoonists of the United States. No matter which side of the fence any are on, they are having a field day with everybody. ;-)
Its the old comedians' joke about elections: Which one to vote for? One candidate is good for the country and the other is good for business!
Change doesn't always make things better. Often times, it makes things a heck of a lot worse.
People from the right or left nod heads and chuckle at this, and then go about defining those good for this country v. those good for business very differently. That's the ironic and certainly humorous part of this truism.
Well, the comedian has to determine which candidate is good for THEIR business. Not necessarily business in general...in my haste, I left that dangling.

I have an old ferret named Zorro who has grown exceptionally affectionate since recovering from surgery to have a tumor removed. He has taken to climbing up on my shoulders and lower back to sleep while I read and post in the morning. To me, I am too good a 'dad' to put him back in his hammock and I justify the back pain of posting with a hob ferret on my back very gladly simply because I am grateful Zorro is still with me. But a conservative seeing this would laugh at my silly and week indecisiveness allowing a companion pet to rule my life. So it goes, one man's grace is another man's point of derision. The irony and mirth derived from the contrast of different political perspectives will always be a big part of why I am a political junkie.
A neocon would, but a traditional conservative would say you are living your life as you see fit with a minimum of interference, exercising your rights and enjoying the liberty you have. What's wrong with that? Nothing! It is how it should be! You've got the wrong view on Conservatives. Not all of us are confused former Democrats :) I myself have a very spoiled cat ... and your post may equally have come from my fingertips, except that my critter is a little larger than yours and I know conservatives a little better than thou.

Well, the conservatives better start looking right and left and grabbing the neocons mixed in among them to boot them from the party. This campaign this year is starting to look like the GOP is making the trip on the Titanic, largely because McStain is such a bald attempt to craft a campaign that appeals to conservatives and neocons alike. The neocons would have us believe that to have a genuine conservative like Ron Paul would be as evil and unthinkable a thing to do as King Solomon splitting a baby with a sword to satisfy a custody conflict. When really, it would be as healthy and invigorating a thing for the GOP to do to dump the neocon cancer they suffer from as it would be for the United States to exercise needed 'tough love' and boot Israel off the gravy train and to tell the Zionist lobby to go straight to hell.
Sen. John McCain's wife, Cindy was in the news today when her "McCain Family Recipes" for Ahi tuna, rosemary chicken and farfalle pasta that were posted on Sen. McCain's election website turned out to have been lifted from (copied word for word, in fact) from the Food Network website.
I wonder what cartoon would appropriately characterize Omarx and the NC vote...the (shriek) BLACK VOTE ? lolol Idiots
They are H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S of the highest odor...

I wonder if Ruby Ghouliani even really had cancer during his Senate run against Hiltery...the race the womanoid won by default in essence.
If you check any of the so-called "Conservative" blogs, boards, or talk shows, you'll see that none of them have any use for McLame whatsoever. Even on 4um, you have to notice that the actual conservatives look at McLame and say "What did we do to deserve this?" But, like most things based in Washington DC, the GOP HQ is completely tone-deaf to the country. Congress is equally tone-deaf all around. They have an urge to "just do something!" which means that they are going to screw it up. Like banning the incandescent light bulb. What a bright idea! Force people to use something that requires a recycling system that doesn't exist. "Power to the people" requires that power actually go to the people and that means enabling people to make their own decisions, not having those decisions made in Washington DC. That also means shrinking Government and reducing regulation. It also means enabling people to use their money as they see fit, so it means lowering taxes. THAT is a conservative viewpoint. It is the viewpoint of those of us who view ourselves as arch-conservatives to whom Barry Goldwater is still a hero. You'd like Barry if you looked at him in his own words. Gays in the military? "To be in the military, you don't have to be straight, you just have to shoot straight." I keep seeing "Power to the people!" rhetoric coming from Democrats and left-wingers. The result is simply bigger government and larger jack-boots. This is not "power to the people" - its "power to me and screw the people!"

The picture most commonly found above the desks of McCain staffers as they work for the chimp's third term.
McCain is happy to hear this. rockefeller, soros, zbig and kissinger must be laughing their asses off...especially at all the useful idiots that play the game believing they effect the outcome.
Oh gee, look what the arrested development Corn Flake Liar did...took me off of filter. Must be a slow day.

When President Obama ends the war, you might actually learn to love the black man as a brother. It sure wouldn't take much for him to out do his white predecessor. That bar's been set mighty low.

Within her zombie heart Cindy McCain is a committed Stockbroker for Jesus, an offshoot of Evangelical Corporatism. As a member of the First Baptist Church of the Gooey Death, she is able to express her sacred love of god and divine hatred of gays and liberals. Religion has taught her to stop worrying and love the "Almighty Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran".
