I probably should be watching the news more but aren't there 2 more states left to vote in the primaries? And at this point who, if either of them, is more likely to get the Democratic candidate nomination?

Whoa! Nobdy saw that one coming... ::)
Odd thing about West Virginia: it was pretty solidly Democratic until it voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004. At any rate, probably not exactly a state Obama was counting on...

Hillary will win 2 more of the remaining states - Kentucky, and Puerto Rico. Obama will win Oregon, Montana and South Dakota. In the end Hillary will still be short of Obama by more then 100 pledge delegates, add in the superdelegates, even if the remaining undecided split 70-30 to Clinton, and Obama will still get the nomination...

Ever been in West Virgina? Most of the state reminds you of the back woods of Mississippi, only with more coal dust. Not to mention that they have virtually no black population. No this win really doesn't surprise me. I know they have they have the University in Frostburg, but most of the students are from out of state. Something about that coal dust and the hillbilly radio stations stunts the growth of brain cells.

I agree here, though I'm surprised to hear PR's a state!
:P

it's the third state Hillary won with a 20% margin too!!!
compared to the 20 or so states that Obama won by that same margin. :D
Hillary has one state all sewn up. The state of denial.

Oops the state thing. Thanks for not swiftboating me...
They've switched from a caucus to a primary (June 1st). Were we all aware of that? I wasn't until recently...
Stagflation... :)

Hmmm....so then, when Hillary says she still expects to receive the Democratic nomination....what she really means is she expects Obama to mysteriously disappear because that is her only hope ::)

Nope not disappointed at all. If Hillary is the next president I would leave the country lol.
Actually I don't really "like" any of the candidates, but I would like to see Obama win this. Though I'm a registered Republican (please don't kill me! lol) I really don't much care for McCain. While I don't agree with a lot of what Obama stands for, I don't know how powerful he would be....Hillary on the other hand scares me and plus she basically had her 8 years running the country while Bill was president :D
