West Virginia Blowout: Hillary 66; Obama 23


The only question about West Virginia is how bitterly is Obama going to get stomped? American Research Group calls it for Hillary at 66-23. Heh. Big Tent Dem has details. Kentucky? Rasmussen Reports (May 5) has Hillary stomping Obama 56-31.

WVA -- Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama 57% to 27% among men (43% of likely Democratic primary voters). Among women, Clinton leads 72% to 20%. Among white voters, 70% to 19%.

Hillary Rodham Clinton can still win the nomination and be Madame President as long as no one takes the Obama News Network seriously. That shouldn't be too hard.

Read all about it at Corrente:

What happens to “It’s Over” if Clinton pulls a 40-point victory in West Virginia on Tuesday, then follows it up a week later with a 30-point victory in Kentucky? If these states turn out in the same margins that states since March 4th have averaged, that would imply a net of about 290,000 votes for Clinton. That puts her within striking distance of a reasonable popular vote victory. “Over” will be over as we turn our attention to Puerto Rico.
