Obama has shown the party that he won't fight to win in November.  

As far as the superdelegates are concerned, far more important that tonight's margins is Obama's refusal to introduce himself to West Virginia voters.  Clinton is out there competing for every vote -- even in North Carolina, where everyone expected her to lose by wide margins, she was in that state, telling voter who she was, what she stood for, and that she cared about their votes.

Obama has a massive problem with the kind of voters you find in West Virginia -- he should have been in that state campaigning 24/7, because one thing voters don't like is being ignored.  

He should have done a listening tour -- gotten groups of Clinton supporters to learn how to reach them -- not to tell them about himself, but to listen to them away from the media.

The margins tonight are unprecedented.

but there is this from AOL:

Huge swing to Clinton, even if she loses by a narrow margin.

I hope the Clinton surrogates push this story hard tomorrow!

Two top Michigan Democrats, anticipating that the Democratic National Committee will strip them of all their convention delegates now that the state has scheduled its primary for Jan. 15, sent a letter to DNC chairman Howard Dean protesting the party's "selective enforcement" of its calendar rules.

Sen. Carl Levin and Debbie Dingell, a member of the Democratic National Committee, write that New Hampshire's ostensible decision to move its primary before Jan. 19 -- the day the DNC currently schedules the primary -- violates the same rules that Michigan has run afoul of.

"Someone has to take on New Hampshire's transparent effort to violate the DNC rules and to maintain its privileged position. Hopefully the DNC will, and you will, promptly urge our candidates to stop campaigning in New Hampshire because of the New Hampshire's expressed intent to violate the DNC rules," the two write.

Quote:
On August 19, 2006, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) set the dates for the selection of delegates to the 2008 Democratic nominating convention as follows:

• at Iowa caucuses held no earlier than January 14, 2008;
  
• at Nevada caucuses held no earlier than January 19;
  
• at a New Hampshire primary held no earlier than January 22; and
  
• at a South Carolina primary held no earlier than January 29.

I think CNN should have put her in a locked room and played all her nasty clips in a steady loop until even she could see how horrible her opinions come across.

As for a 40% margin -- with 69% of the vote in, Clinton just went up to 66% of the vote, and Obama just dropped to 27%.

in WV, I'll say by 30% +/- 2%. She will take PA by at least 13%, barring unforeseen developments. WV will be the beginning of the end for Obama. Gore lost WV by only 6% in 2000. Clinton took it by 15% in 1996. For those willing to look at electoral map realities, the path to victory in Nov. is OH, WV, PA, FL, MI, TN, MO, and KY. There is only one candidate who can do it!

I also stated that obama would get 0 counties in WV, but I couldn't find that one.

Like so many snobs, Obama completely and totally lacks class.

How is he going to handle himself with foreign leaders? If he doesn't like Gordon Brown, is he going to fake flip him off? If he disagrees with Pooty-Poot, is he going to brush him off like dirt on his shoulder?
