Default Hillary will win Indiana, NC close...Afterwards, obama in a world of hurt

After Hillary wins Indiana and possibly North Carolina come the Appalachian states of West Virginia and Kentucky. The demographics of these states are high numbers of rural, white, older and low-income voters, which pose a HUGE challenge for Sen. Obama who won't be able to rely on his black cronies. Obama has struggled in Appalachian counties of Ohio, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Kentucky has been described as "Pennsylvania without Philadelphia," because Sen. Obama's nine-point loss in the Keystone State would have been far worse without his high vote margin in big urban areas. Both candidates have already made stops in West Virginia, where 28 delegates are at stake on May 13. The state was a key swing state in the 2000 and 2004 elections, and polls show Sen. Clinton leading by a 2-to-1 margin. Sen. Clinton has made several campaign stops in Kentucky, where 51 delegates are at stake on May 20, and which Sen. Obama has yet to visit this year.

I hope Hillary goes in a bar and has a shot and a beer again. She’s just regular folks. Obama is the one who is a member of the cultural/political elite in this country, not good ol’ Hillary.

Its political suicide for local politicians to support Obama.

Bye bye Osama

even more interesting, if obama was president...i don't even think a lot of the democrat party would go along with him and his policies in Congress...

it would be political suicide for democrats here in the South to do that, who are very conservative democrats.

here in louisiana today we are having elections and 2 local candidates had to renounce that they were affiliated with obama. they didn't even want to have his name next to their own.

can you just imagine the drama that will occur if osama is president....lol, come to think of it, it might be entertaining and it will totally drive the democrats out of office maybe forever.

Default West Virginian for Hillary

Yes, come to West Virginia and help us score big for Hillary. We have a week to work on this.

She can pull this out if we all work real hard for another week!

If you look at exit polls Obama is trouncing Clinton by about 13.5% in North Carolina and losing by about 4% in Indiana. If Clinton splits the rest of the states 50/50 she is going to need to win approximately 80% of unpledged superdelgates. In other words, she is done.

Go do the math yourself at CNN's elections map below and put together a credible scenario where Clinton wins.

I look forward to you dodging my challenge.

That is very useful information, the Louisianans sound like they are in touch with reality and the North Carolinians are starting to wake up, hope your right about NC, but they may have woke up too late for HIllary to win it, but it should be close, if she does not win.

Currently (with only 2 of 100 counties complete, and 28 partial results)...
Clinton 38.07% 226,802
Obama 60.18% 358,540

Wow, Rev. Wright has really just destroyed Obama. The end result will probably be the two candidates assassinating one another on the eve of the convention. Priceless.
