Default Clinton: Obama Ignoring West Virginia (b/c he's going to get his ass kicked)

Quote:
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's top aides yesterday accused Sen. Barack Obama of ignoring West Virginia, saying Democrats must win the state in the fall and using her 43-point poll lead there as evidence that her longshot bid deserves to run its course.

"What is the basis for the so-called 'presumptive nominee' not competing in a state that would be a key swing state?" Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson asked reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast, adding that a Tuesday victory could be a turning point for his boss.

A 15-point win for Mrs. Clinton, "in an atmosphere in which she is being written off and told to leave the campaign, if voters hearing that in West Virginia decided to choose to affirm her candidacy despite that, I think that would say something significant about her ability to compete and win votes in a very tough environment," he said.

Since winning North Carolina and coming within two points in Indiana, Mr. Obama has done everything to indicate he views himself as the Democratic presidential nominee — avoiding engaging with Mrs. Clinton, and disregarding his rival's calls for a debate and pivoting toward the general election.

In Portland, Ore., Mr. Obama said presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain is "dead wrong" on the economy. Mr. Obama was just a few miles from Mrs. Clinton's campaign event but kept his focus on criticizing Mr. McCain of Arizona.
Don't walk too fast Osama. The Clinton's hold much more clout in the Democrat field than Kerry and Kennedy. I expect Hillary to walk away with huge victories in every state, minus Oregon which will be competitive.

Obama is not even trying to compete in West Virginia because he doesn't have to to win the nomination. Clinton has already lost and the only reason she is still in is to raise enough money to pay off her personal "loans" or maybe go for the VP.

And, it would seem, staying in the race is her only option at this point...

If she were to concede tomorrow, Obama would still likely lose in the home state of Robert Byrd.

So, she gets to end on a high note.




Republicans will of course take all this as a go-ahead to play the race-card, but it is sure to backfire.

Now let's be nice and do call the BO supporters idiots. I support McCAIN but I would not denergrate Obama supporters by calling tem idiots plus that very well could be a personal attack. I would save my deneragrating for the Clinonites.

Keep praying buddy. Maybe your boy McCain will get a miracle, and not have to compete against Obama. But all signs are showing that your party will lose control of both Congress and the White House after this upcoming election.

But it's all good, you will benefit from having better leadership, as we all will. There's no point in fighting against something that's good for you, so you might as well support Obama (remember the last time we had a strong leader, Bill Clinton, the economy was must stronger). McCain isn't even close to Obama's political skill level, and it will hurt our national image to have a weak leader up top. And since perception plays such a big part in economic success, it's important to have somebody like Obama in charge, that has the skill to bring in foreign investment into our industries (the main factor that sparked the Clinton boom).

Ironic moment on this thread: A man who voted for Bush, not once, but twice, calling somebody an "idiot". That must be a compliment coming from a Bush supporter (one of 25 percent of our population).

Here is the math that I'm doing:

Obama has 1865 Delegates
Clinton has 1697 Delegates

Obama is winning by 168 Delegates

There are 217 Pledged Delegates remaining
There are 250 Super Delegates remaining

For Clinton to take the lead with Pledged Delegates, she would need 86% of the remaining vote.
For Clinton to take the lead with Super Delegates, she would need 84% of remaining

For Clinton to clinch the nomination, she would need 71% of ALL remaining Delegates
For a contested convention, she needs 66% of ALL remaining Delegates

From my math, it looks pretty grim for Clinton.

What math are you doing?
