All Hail West Virginia! [Update: Hillary's New Ad]
By SusanUnPC on May 9, 2008 at 11:15 AM in Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, West Virginia
These so-called “hicks” get it. Look at THIS key finding from today’s survey: “45% of likely Democratic primary voters say they would never vote for Barack Obama in the [general election].” QUOTE/UNQUOTE.
FORTY-FIVE PERCENT! I’m with you 45 percenters. With you all the way. And unless the Democratic party wakes up, I’ll be writing in Hillary Clinton’s name on my ballot come November. However, as a friend told me on the phone last night, that would waste the opportunity to make SURE that Barack Obama does not become president. Therefore … I may just … yes … do the unmentionable … Kevin and others, tear your hair, rent your garments … but there are millions of us who feel the exact same way!
