FROM HILLARY: Why West Virginia Matters
By SusanUnPC on May 13, 2008 at 12:06 PM in Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, West Virginia
| BLOG ANNOUNCEMENT: WE WILL HAVE A BIG PARTY BASH TONIGHT TO CELEBRATE HILLARY’S VICTORY! BE HERE WITH US! Some of you will, unfortunately, have to watch MSNBO and CNN to report to us what drivel they are spouting … I am psychologically unfit to do so because they make me raving mad (!) — i.e., ape-shit CRAZY because they are so delusional! — so I plan to watch Fox News, and will report. Be our ears and share in the sweetness of a meaningful victory.
THIS IS AN OBAMA-Messianic-free ZONE, and will remain so! YOU ARE FREE HERE to express exactly what you think! (And don’t tell anyone, but you can assume any identity you wish when you type in your username. We do not plan on making people go through registration processes. It is partly to ensure that people who come here are FREE to speak their MINDS, and say what they REALLY THINK.) |
NOW, WHY WEST VIRGINIA and why those “typical white people” matter … Even if Timmuh doesn’t think so.

Re: Why West Virginia Matters
With a record turnout expected in today’s primary, West Virginia Democrats will make clear who they believe is the strongest candidate to take on Sen. McCain in the Fall.
The Mountain State is used to picking winners. Every nominee has carried the state’s primary since 1976, and no Democrat has won the White House without winning West Virginia since 1916.
Democrats carried West Virginia in 1992 and 1996, but lost the state—and the White House–in 2000 and 2004. Hillary has predicted victory against Sen. McCain in West Virginia based on the strength of her economic message.
Given the attempts by our opponent and some in the media to declare this race over, any significant increase in voter turnout, coupled with a decisive Clinton victory, would send a strong message that Democrats remain excited and energized by Hillary’s candidacy.
In the face of grim poll numbers, the Obama campaign has attempted to dismiss today’s outcome despite the fact that Sen. Obama has outspent us on advertising, has more staff in the state, and more than double the number of offices.
He has also benefited from the support of the most high-profile endorsers in West Virginia—Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Congressman Nick Rahall. By every measure, the Obama campaign has waged an aggressive campaign in the Mountain State.
Despite being the so-called “presumptive nominee” and benefiting from these advantages, Sen. Obama has been unable to close a significant gap in the polls.
Sen. Clinton has already won Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Michigan. With a win in West Virginia, Sen. Clinton will have once again proven her greater ability to win in the key swing states.

OBAMABOTS ARE NOT WELCOME at our soiree tonight.
IF any show up, give ‘em hell.
They haven’t the independence of thought to SEE that this man is entirely unqualified to be president, and that the ONLY REASON he is running is to WIN.
The OFFICE means nothing to him. The tremendous, heavy pressure of the decisions to be made mean nothing to him. It is only about winning and adulation.
