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.
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.
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

#195. To: FOH (#189)
Oregon is very very different then West Virginia. Not better, but we have much more diversity in many ways, and much of this is due to the fact that geographically we are a diverse and large piece of the U.S. The population is centered around the Willamette Valley, and tends to be young, well to do in the Portland area. They form the core of the informal leaders and others who influence the Democraic and liberal Republican electorate in national races. For example of how thing are here; the rally for Kerry the last election was one of his biggest and succeeded under the adverse conditions of Bush trying to tie up the media by extending his speech happening simultaneously in nearby Beaverton causing the heat and sun -- not to mention Kerry's wife's speech she had the chore to do to bide for time -- making everyone suffer greatly. I have never seen a crowd not break up and decay before in those circumstances, and it speaks of the utter hunger and tenacity of the Democrats here in Oregon to deliver the best candidate to have a go at McCain. They don't show the same confusion as WV votes do over Obama. Everyone here knows he's Christian, all WV polls showed some people believing otherwise because of mis-perceptions about the man. We are voting now in Oregon, by mail. I have my ballot right in front of me so I won't forget to mail it on the way to work today. We are very well informed in Oregon, well educated, compassionate, deeply concerned about environmental issues, and we will be part of the picture that puts the best man (or woman) running for the Democratic Nomination into the White House this November.
