Won't happen. It does not take a rocket scientist to know she was going to win WV. However she will not go all the way to the convention and she will not win.
Sorry dittoheads.

Funny story you will enjoy.
I live in Ripley, WV...where Bill was at the other day.
However I work in Millwood, WV.
So today the Newspaper has a story headline on the front page on the right saying something like...Man in Millwood arrested for Embezzlement.
Now right next to it on the left is a picture of Bill Clinton with people around him during the hillary rally.

Obama has picked up 25 super delegates in the last week alone. He now only has 150 delegates to go to clinch the nomination, and between tonight (where he'll still pick up around 10 delegates), the KY/OR primaries (approx. 100 delegates combined) and a continued flood of supers going his way, he might be within 50 delegates of the nomination by May 20th. If that happens, which is by no means a stretch, the rest should follow suit.
Sorry guys, it's over.

If I was Obama I would go out there and congratulate and praise the fecal matter out of Hillary. That would make her look completely pathetic and essentially castrate her. Figuratively speaking... I think.

It does not say much about Obama. The guy is going to win the nomination and yet only draws 29% in WV? I guess many are not on the Obama bandwagon which normally happens when a candidate all but as the contest wrapped up. So much for Democrat unity

You obviously do not know WV much...I will leave it at that but this is probably the only state so far that was so lopsided for hillary and there is a reason for it.

Occupying a swathe of the Appalachian Mountains on the threshold between the Bible Belt and the Rust Belt, West Virginia is a swing state that voted twice for George W. Bush

And? Obama still got blasted in Dems election he did not just lose he got punked. Dems in WV went to the polls and voted for Hill a candidate that no one thinks has a chance at winning the nomination and normally once you get to this stage the bandwagon effect starts to take over as the party starts to unify behind front runner. I think we both know what a swing state is “a state that could go either way” if Obama is the candidate all I can say is mark WV a republican win

And just like the article stated, like the last 2 elections....
Weird that you try to make such a big deal out of this loss.
I will leave you with Brain's comments:

Clinton's W.Va. victory does little to slow Obama
By CHARLES BABINGTON and CALVIN WOODWARD, Associated Press Writers
41 minutes ago
STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. - Hours after being routed by Hillary Rodham Clinton in West Virginia, Barack Obama picked up two more superdelegates, offering fresh recognition from Democratic leaders of his inevitable nomination.
ADVERTISEMENT
An embattled Clinton is urging party leaders to take a hard look at West Virginia, which she won with 67 percent of the vote. But her victory did little if anything to knock Obama off stride as he approaches the delegate totals needed to give him the presidential nomination.
It did, however, expose in stark terms his disadvantage with blue-collar voters, fueling Clinton's last-gasp argument to party VIPs that she's the Democrat with broad appeal against Republican John McCain.
"Choose who you believe will make the strongest candidate in the fall," she said at her Charleston rally in a pitch aimed at superdelegates. She was returning to Washington to meet Wednesday with some of them.
"The White House is won in the swing states," she said, "and I am winning the swing states."
Obama isn't ceding the latter point.
His campaign announced his pickup Wednesday of two superdelegates: Rep. Peter Visclosky of Indiana and Democrats Abroad chair Christine Schon Marques.
Also endorsing Obama were three former Securities and Exchange Commission chairmen — William Donaldson, David Ruder, and Arthur Levitt Jr., who was appointed by former President Clinton. The campaign released a joint statement by the former SEC chiefs, well as former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, that praised Obama's "positive leadership and judgment" on economic issues.
"We are aware of the reasoned approach Mr. Obama has taken in analyzing the current financial crisis and the need for balanced regulatory reform," the statement said. "We believe that such a constructive approach can be extended broadly in the economic area as well as elsewhere."
Obama was campaigning Wednesday in Michigan, keenly aware of the need to recapture the unifying promise of his earlier primary and caucus wins, which transcended geography, parties and even racial divisions at times.
Specifically, he arranged to visit workers at a Chrysler factory in Macomb County, bellwether of bellwethers, and rally in Grand Rapids.
"This is our chance to build a new majority of Democrats and independents and Republicans," Obama said in Missouri, a November battleground.
Nearly a quarter of the voters in West Virginia's primary were 60 or older, and a similar share had no education beyond high school, exit polls indicated. More than half were in families with incomes of $50,000 or less, and the former first lady was winning nearly 70 percent of their votes.
Clinton won 20 of the 28 delegates at stake in West Virginia and Obama won eight.
With the superdelegates picked up Wednesday, that left Obama with 1,885 delegates, to 1,717 for Clinton, out of 2,026 needed to clinch the nomination at the party convention in Denver this summer. The Democratic win on Tuesday in a Mississippi special election increased by one the number of delegates needed to win the nomination.
He added a symbolic victory Tuesday, defeating Clinton in Nebraska's nonbinding primary by a 49-47 percent margin. Nebraska already held caucuses three months ago and Obama locked up most of the delegates in that contest.
Obama has picked up about 30 superdelegates in the last week, altogether a bigger prize than West Virginia offered either candidate in the lopsided primary.
Superdelegates are elected officials and other prominent Democrats who can vote as they choose, without regard to primaries or caucuses. About 250 have not declared their support.
Obama has tapped the crucial superdelegate pool to considerable effect and in the last week overcame Clinton's campaign-long advantage with that group. They've proved resistant to Clinton's recent entreaties, but she was trying again Wednesday.
"This race isn't over yet," she said.
The New York senator also planned to meet members of her finance committee. Her campaign is facing more than $20 million in debt.
Still ahead are five primaries, beginning next week in Kentucky and Oregon, then Puerto Rico on June 1 and Montana and South Dakota two days later.
Obama is favored in Oregon and South Dakota, with Montana apparently more competitive and the others looking solid for Clinton.
On May 31, a convention committee will hear Clinton's appeal to seat delegations from disputed primaries in Florida and Michigan.
Clinton wants the delegates seated — a decision that would cut into Obama's advantage — even though the primaries were held so early in the year that they violated Democratic party rules.
Obama has indicated a willingness to compromise on that matter now that he's more confident of ultimate victory.

Yes the last 2 election WV went for Bush. Who won the election the last 2 times? It matters when a so called swing state goes in your direction that is why is it a big deal.

the last 2 elections didn't have a black man running either, *if* that came into play.
in my mind the results from west virginia are more damning on the state than obama. but i'm sure hillary will tout WV as the smartest state in the union till she needs someone else.

I'm sure for some that made a difference but you could say the same for some voters who may not think a woman should be President after all this country has never had a woman president so Hillary side can easily argue that her being a woman could affect how some people vote. As I said Obama did not just lose in WV he got beat badly pretty much like how the Pats beat the Redskins it was not pretty. :laugh2:
