Obama BREAKTHROUGH in West Virginia??
Obama won 26% of the vote in West Virginia!

With only 3 Obam trips to the State vs 30 by Clinton, that may represent a BREAKTHROUGH.
26% is 11% higher than the 15% of W.Virginians with more than a high-school education.

Obama seems to have retained his base plus pulling voters from hard-core Clinton groups.

WV Obama supporters should be congratulated!!

1. Hillary didn't get 80%, so I say Obama won.

7. Doesn't have to be 95 percent black
to have an unstoppable advantage when blacks vote over 90 percent for Obama every time.

10. It's a Sendup of Hillary Spin
When Hillary lost North Carolina, her strategists spun it as a victory. The logic was convoluted, but so is the notion of spinning Obama's defeat in West Virginia as a breakthrough.

I thought it was droll . . .

17. "blacks only dem primaries"? That's a really offensive and patently false
claim. You should be ashamed of yourself.

9. Hahaha
Of course Obama was not supposed to win WV, but he did outspend her and had many more offices in WV than her. It is a myth to say that Obama didn't try in WV.

12. Didn't she spend like TONS more money and time?
So it really looks like Obama's 26% is WAY more than Clinton's whatever-she-got. He won hands-down, of course!
