That is the result from the caucuses - the actual vote from today has yet to be tallied.
This is what they are showing on their web site. Today's results should be in soon.
AOL has the wrong results. CNN and FauxNews both have clean slates up. "Hillary Clinton wins with 0% of the vote tallied!"
I SAW THAT! And the panel yappers are 'looking beyond WV'.. The electoral votes are being divided now based on projected win %, to illustrate Hillary's futile efforts. There's 3 weeks to go till the convention cage fight, but the pressure is on to make it easy on the super D's. Everytime I watch the breakdown state by state, I can't figure out why Puerto Rico has more weight than an actual State in the union. Poor Montana.... eating Puerto Rican dust.
From Fox... Exiting polling shows 68% HRC to 32% BHO.

MSM is either ignoring WV or at best downplaying it.
Reality check. WV is 2/3 Demo and yet they voted for Dumbo W, twice in a row and for Bubba before Dumbo. Now, the Demos are picking Hilly in large numbers. Her core constituency in the country seems to be the Demos who voted for Dumbo twice before and for Bubba twice before that. Hillary supporters: those who supported Dumbo and Bubba.
Where West Virginia goes, the nation dare not follow.
Who was the last D to lose the WV primary, and then go on to win the presidency?
Woodrow Wilson in 1916. That is, he won the presidency in the general without WV. Let me check on primaries (which haven't been around all that long). A. George McGovern in 1972.
It is one thing to despise a certain culture but quite obscene when we have people here that say they were hill billies but despise their own heritage. That is the ultimate elitism. Then to hang the "lack" of education on them as another reason to despise is the ultimate sickness of our society.
They should sent the smart ones to war first... then it would be over faster!
The smart, college educated ones are the same ones that gave us Bush, twice.
If we could roll back the clock 8 years, it would all be perfect./s ;)
Fox... Clinton 72 per cent.. Obama 28 per cent
Clinton 72 per cent.. Obama 28 per cent Another war will shore up those results.
West Virginia Democratic Primary 13-May-08 Delegates: 39 County Results --- 82% Reporting 1 Clinton 200,754 67% 2 Obama 78,876 26%
Delegates: 39 County Results --- 82% Reporting 1 Clinton 200,754 67% 2 Obama 78,876 26% Thanks TT! Do the vote numbers look low to anyone? I believe someone said there are 1.8 M people in WV. I wonder how many total registered voters there are, and what the turnout number is.
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.
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!
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.
