Hillary Clinton will likely win big here Tuesday. But could the primary vote in this former Democratic bastion be a clue to Obama's performance in November?
  • No

    No Obama can't win W.Va. for the same reason Hillary did not win Washinton D.C. -- identity politics and racism. (along with sexism, ageism and every other ism that has been rampant in this election process....blah blah blah).

    I am so sick of poor Obama and his racism woes...as if he didn't play every card in the deck against the Clintons throughout the entire campaign.

    The sexism that goes unnoticed and is not given a second thought has been as prevalent and at times, more so, during this campaign.

    If Obama were a woman of any color with one year in the Senate -- which was spent campaigning to be president, he would not even be running -- and that's just truth. So Obama drop your racist cries and be thankful you are male, because it is the only reason you are winning -- you arrogant, inexperienced man.

    And maybe those voting for Clinton who will vote for McCain over Obama are not interested in rock star candidates with nothing under their belts...and that is their right. How arrogant and yes, "cultish" of Obama's supporters to think that anyone voting against Obama is racist or stupid...there are other factors involved...and he is not the Messiah after all.

    I am not voting for McCain -- but I respect those who are -- and their right to their own opinions.
