Visible Vote 08 » How Much Will Clinton Win By?

By: James Withers

More on: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, primary, West Virginia

The only question today is the point spread. Unless the voters in West Virginia have a late hour change of heart, Clinton will win big tonight. The painting is so clear Obama gave a concession speech yesterday at a West Virginia rally.

“I understand that many more here in West Virginia will probably support Sen. Clinton,” Obama said.

Will this predicted win change the delegate math in Clinton’s favor? No. But a race is never over until someone reaches the finish line. That hasn’t happened yet.

Regardless of your opinion of whichever candidate, History, you should stop yourself from looking like one of those "ignorant racists" that you are talking about.

Making broad and MEAN generalizations about people from a particular state is not the way to make the argument that those people are the ignorant ones.

Cheers.

"Seems to me if you want to be critical of Clinton and how she appeals to voters, you should not engage in the same rhetoric."

The difference is that I'm not appealing to racism like Hillary but instead simply making fun of the ignorance of racists; I'm sorry if you think the rhetoric and the effect is the same.

History,

O, I get it now. Your words about West Virginia were actually a statment on how you don't like how the state deals with gay and lesbian issues.

Seems to me if you want to be critical of Clinton and how she appeals to voters, you should not engage in the same rhetoric.

I don't know if I can muster up another stereotype James; I'm usually only good for a dozen of them a day, and I'm plum all out for today. Anyhow, I apologize if I offended the good voters of West Virgina: I'm sure they really have the most progressive LGBTQ protections among any state in the country.

However, Hillary does appeal to the lowest common denominator in the American electorate. How's that for a constituency upon which to base our national policies and from which to choose our elected officials, eh?

I think she will by 30 points.

Jeesh History. What other stereotypes do you want to throw out today?

Sincerely,

James

I expect Hillary to win by 30+ points in West Virgina after her cynical pandering to the voters by which she promised every family within the state two squirrels in every pot, and a special election day possum pie.
