Obama will get their votes in the fall. They have no reason to back John McCain.

calling WV people "ignorant" or "disconnected from reality" hurts Obama and helps HRC in her campaign to stop the Democrats winning the election.

2. Good for you. I was talking about others then.
It's a trap we can't let ourselves fall into.

3. Hillary Clinton adores West Virginia !
She does not want anyone to be ridiculed! This OP makes a weird assertion....I think it is rude and distasteful to even post such nonsense!

10. She wants Obama people to make the mistake of bashing WV voters.
Your candidate knows she can't be nominated now and so she wants to help elect McCain.

Please rise above the spite and join the our party's now-certain nominee, Barack Obama, in winning the election and stopping the war.

11. I think your projection
borders on the edge of delusional thinking. It's a bit of a stretch of the imagination as Hillary is a pure Democrat and would never help McCain, ever in a presidential election.

Oh, Hillary is taking all her delegates to the Convention in August...."What a difference a day may makes" Plan will be in play.

So, Obama is NOT the Democratic Candidate and won't be confirmed until the Convention if that is his destiny....He must wait regardless.

12. You KNOW HRC can't win. Why not just admit it and let us all get on with our lives?
There isn't anything positive about her campaign anymore. And there's nothing between now and August that can make her look so much better than Obama that it would justify all that she's done.

We need unity. HRC is stopping us from unity. Why fight on in what you know is a losing battle?

She's not THAT great, for God's sake.

15. See how fast the SD's fall behind Obama if she pulls something like that. All Dems know we would
loose big time if this went to the convention. We are not about loosing this election. Sorry to bust your bubble.

7. I can't bash them - I really love that state
We don't get the chance to visit their very often since I moved west in '76. But I've been visiting WV since about 1955 - when Harpers Ferry was a sleepy town with nary a tourist in sight.

14. I've grown up hearing WV jokes, it's not anything new devised by HRC
If the Hussian sign was fake, I might hold off for them, but they deserve what they get IMO. We didn't really start bashing until yesterday and will probably stop tomorrow.
