I’m so tired of the media counting the hildebeast out. All of her political career she’s worked for this time period. And even though I can stand neither her nor that sexual predator hubby of hers, my only words to her are: “You go girl! Keep kick’em in the side to let them know that you are alive and well.”

If Hillary wins West Virginia by 70+% and the democrat dons can’t see what’s going on with their own blue-collar base, then far be it from me to warn them.

McCain isn’t pretty but he’s better than Obama.

Obama wisely kept far away from West Virginia. But he doesn’t care about this primary, he’ll lose it by 40 points and smile, congratulate Hillary, and laugh all the way to the convetion.

Will Hillary convince Supers to let her get back in the race? Outlook Unclear

Will Hillary cry? It Depends

Will Howard Dean say something insane? Indubitably

Will Rev. Sharpton use the can of gasoline and matches I sent him and threaten to burn down the place? Prove it, Ofay

Will Robert KKK Byrd have the klan out to vote for the white candidate? Is the Pope German?

Will Bill say something stupid or incendiary to sabotage her again? Quite Likely

Will dishes be flying? Outlook Unclear

Will Bill have an incident with a female while his evil wife gives a victory speech? Define incident

Will Obama wear a flag pin? With 57 stars

Will Michelle tell us how much of a problem she has with whitey? Shut up, white boy

Will the Hamas candidate do better than expected? Allah be praised!

Will Jeremiah Wright tell us how construction is going on his palatial home in the gated white community? You can kiss my big black butt

Will John McCain make more foolish statements in an attempt to totally alienate the base? Why not?

Will Bill Ayers stomp on a flag? There's one on Obama's lapel

And what do you call it when hilllereee adapts her speech to whatever part of the country she is speaking in? OR she pretends she did this or that or lies about Bosina and sniper fire? Is she NOT pandering to the crowd? She’s done MUCH MORE of that and so has her old man.

You know, I kind of agree with you. I don't agree with her about anything. But I would like her to kick that Chicago fruit's butt. Of course then she would be president because she is much more of a man than McCain. And she would hand him his cubes (if he has any).

But then the out come sucks, mostly because of the Clinton retreads she would bring to power with her.

IF she would dump that slug, I would still not agree with anything she represents. But I would respect her. He bears her no good.

Will Michelle tell us how much of a problem she has with whitey?

She'll give that speech in Puerto Rico tomorrow, 5/14 and Thursday, 5/15 -- she's expected to criss-cross the Island campaigning for her husband.

Chelsea is also in Puerto Rico right now (through Friday).

This vote is probably 35% pro-Hillary and 235% anti-Obama. ‘Anyone but Obama’ in W. Va.

Dennis Kucinich would probably have a landslide there against BHO.

OK. I see how it works now. Saying that Obama is pandering is the same as saying that Hillary doesn’t.

Thanks much for pointing that out to me.

Clinton Running Hard as West Virginia Votes
By PATRICK HEALY
Published: May 13, 2008
Forget the calls for her to quit the presidential race: Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is determined to rack up two big primary victories in the next eight days — in West Virginia and Kentucky — as she seeks to prove her continued political viability and claim bargaining chips that might help her exit the race on her terms, her advisers say.

It is a risky proposition. Mrs. Clinton is behind Senator Barack Obama in both the national popular vote and the delegate count, and she could appear to be a spoiler if she damages his candidacy in those two closely fought states, her advisers acknowledge.But she and her chief political counselor, her husband, see the two coming primaries as crucial to strengthening her standing and, if it comes to it, to allowing her to leave the race on a high note, the advisers say.

Sizable victories — the Clinton camp believes it could win West Virginia by 25 points or more — might put pressure on Mr. Obama to agree to her demands to seat the disputed delegates from Michigan and Florida, some of her advisers say, which would let her claim a victory on a battle she has fought for months. Accumulating victories this late in the primary season — as Mr. Obama looks so strong — might also bolster a bid for the vice presidency, should she decide to seek it. (Whether Mr. Obama would ask her, however, is very much in doubt.)

Brit said once that the TV pundits know by mid-afternoon what the exit polls say and they try to give the viewer hints.

Have any of you people with TV’s been seeing hints?

FROM SEC OF STATE WEBSITE

The important thing to remember is that your choice will affect your options for voting for partisan candidates in the Primary Election, when parties make their nominations. Also, if you ever decide to run for office, you may only file for nomination in a party in which you are registered.

West Virginia has a “closed” primary, which means that people registered in one party cannot vote for candidates in another party. At the Primary Election, if you have listed a party choice on your voter registration, you will be given the ballot of that party. You will not have the right to receive the ballot of a different party.

If you register with no party affiliation, you will be given a non-partisan ballot (for Board of Education and any issues on the ballot) in the Primary Election. The political parties have the right to decide who may participate in their nominating processes. The Republican, Mountain or Democratic Party allow any voter who is not registered with an official party to vote in their Primary Election.
