There was never any question as to whether Hillary would win tonight in West Virginia, rather by what amount. The state is 95% white, the 48^th   poorest state in the nation and has the greatest number of people without a college degree.

My take on this is that Hillary won in the poorest, less educated and "whitest" state in the country. Maybe the fact that the people are less educated is why they overwhelmingly fell for her promise of the "gas tax holiday".

 I was not there, so I can not say with all certainty, however, I would imagine she traveled around the state, promising everything exactly as she did here in Indiana.

 The only difference is that Indiana has a higher percentage of blacks and our state has at least 5 major colleges.

 It appears they did not fall for the "gas tax holiday' and even though she covered this state, with a very popular Senator and past governor she barely squeaked through with a 2% lead. Obviously, there are some "white", working men who did not blindly follow her.

I guess my main point here is, even being quite" politically incorrect"; Hillary won in the poorest, dumbest, gun hugging, bible toting state in our country.

 I am in no way a bigot, believe me. However, she has labeled people in each state and actually tried to convince them that Barack Obama was an "elite", wealthy, "out of touch" candidate who was in no way like them..

She has traveled through out the country, not only defining the people but also "morphing" herself into one of them wherever she campaigned. Whether  she was a duck hunter or a shot drinker.

Yes, Hillary will claim a huge win tonight and basically act like she should be crowned "Queen of West Virginia". Let us all not forget, that Barack had already conceded this state and no one had even hinted that he might win the state.

Now where does that leave us at this junction in time? Barack has now won the popular vote, the pledged delegate vote and now has passed her with the Super Delegates.

 Of course, Hillary wants to claim Michigan, a state where Barack was not even on the ballot, Florida, where all the Democrat candidates agreed not to campaign and Puerto Rico, where they can not vote in our main November Presidential election.

 No matter what situation presents it's self, Hillary comes up with some new way to win the nomination. I do believe she is a graduate of Welsley, is that not correct? Then one might ask their self, what in the world kind of math do they teach there. It must be some kind of new "Clintonian Math".

Support Eyes On Obama!
