Unless you subscribe to Hillary's new math, she is NOT going to get the Demo nomination. If Jesus came down to campaign for her she still would not win the Demo nomination.
So, if your question is: will Obama beat McCain. My first reaction is "of course he will", mainly because just about everyone is sick and tired of Bush, Neocons, wars and all the BS we had since 2000. We're in the same situation we were in 1999, after 8 years of Bubba and Bubbette. If a dumbass like W beat Gore, mainly because Gore was viewed as Clinton 3 then a normal, intelligent guy like Obama would surely beat a senile, slightly more insane than W, W3.
And, if your heart is bleeding for WV, I remind you again: WV is 2 thirds Demo and, yet, they picked W. Twice. These are the people who vote for Bubbette. The ones who supported Bubba and W.
Aristeides, arete, vast, red, ghost, robin and the rest of "robins ruffians" must be home whining and sniveling in their beer. How dare those racist hill billies reject their black savior.

You're talking to me of wishes, when your candidate is about HOPE and CHANGE?
Please......
Yes, he's on target to win barring a lightening strike, however, my proposition stands. The longer she stays in the more vulnerability she exposes O to. Now, a reasonable person would ask "why"? I've put forward the notion that, since she's a Clinton, just maybe she wants McKooK to win, then be in a position to dump him over the ledge in '12. If O wins, her presidential aspirations are all but over. Age isn't her friend.
As far as WV voting for Bush, what does that have to do with a D primary?
Racial attitudes also came into play, and favorably for Clinton. About one in five whites said race influenced their choice of a candidate, one of the highest proportions who have said so in states that have voted thus far.
They're warming up for the KY primary next Tues :P
You mean they are going to allow those bitter small town hill billies to vote?????
WV was bad but letting them vote in KY is asking too much from a black slick from chicago that is living on food stamps and got a free ride thru school.
WV's got coal fires or industrial smelters burning somewhere all the time. Hence, its effigy (if it is a true likeness) is already lit up. There's no need to set fire to what is already burning.
I'm curious, what was the Black vote for Obama? I've noticed the media stresses the 'educated' white vote v the uneducated whites. I've not seen too much analysis in other demographics.
Nora O'Donnell all but said the folks in WV are undereducated whites and simply aren't O's base.
You are a better person than I am to watch her. I wrote off MSNBC about 6 months ago, Olbermann too. And you know what a fan of his I was.
Not only is a racial divide going on, but now the media is trying to divide by education. Undereducated is highlighted in articles now, almost as much as race. I know college grads and I know high school grads. Some high school grads have a hell ofalot more smarts than the *educated* ones.

Exit polls showed Obama picked up more than a quarter of the white vote in West Virginia, which has a small black population. Two of every 10 white voters said race was a factor in their vote, and only a third of those said they would support Obama against McCain.
About half of West Virginia voters said they believed the Illinois senator shared the views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his controversial former pastor.

Let me say it again: 2/3 of WV's registered voters are Demos so W must have got close to half of the Demos. How many of the Demos who voted for Bush you think picked Obama today?

Ohhhhhhhhh.
When O told folks that he needed to make people believe in change though it would not be evident in their daily lives, I'm thinking might have been a real stink bomb.
Obama did not appear in public after the voting ended in West Virginia, but a campaign spokeswoman said he left Clinton a congratulatory message on her mobile phone.
