Obama’s West Virginia Slaughter
Holy crap. I’m just catching up on the news this morning.  Hillary completely cleaned Obama’s clock yesterday in West Virginia.
Check this out:  Over 330,000 Democrats voted in the WV primary. RECORD TURNOUT for a race that the media has declared OVER. Of those, Senator Clinton received 239,062 votes (67%).  SIXTY-SEVEN PERCENT, folks.
Over on the GOP side, McCain got 76% of the 107,772 Republicans.
So the presumptive loser (Clinton) gets 67% while the presumptive winner (McCain) gets 76% respectively.Â
And Barack — just 26% - 91,652. Just 2,000 more votes than McCain while the Democrat turnout was THREE TIMES the GOP turnout yesterday.
That is a drubbin’.   I’m not sure it is time to play TAPS for Senator Clinton quite yet. The Democrats have a serious problem on their hands. Just how bad was Obama’s trouncing?Â
It was so bad that, as of this morning so far, The Daily Kos seems to have completely forgotten there was even a primary in West Virginia yesterday. *crickets chirping*
And Clinton has made John Aravosis have a hissy-temper tantrum fit. (See: “Go Away You Horrible Human Being” at Americablog.com)

Never, never count someone like hillary out. Like a wounded animal, she’s even more dangerous now. Watch as the clinton News Network digs up pastors, teachers, and mentors from Senator Obama’s past.

IF WE REPUBLICANS DO NOT WATCH, IT WILL BE 4 MORE YEARS.
JOHN MCCAIN NEES O REALLY LOOK AT HIS VP CHOICE. MARK SANDFORD IN SC WOULD BE A REFRESHING CHOICE - YOUNG FAMILY, VERY PERSONABLE. HE WOULD MAKE UP FOR PLASTIC BARBIE AND THE OLD MAN.

Hillary knows what everyone knows but nearly no one will say; there is no such thing as a “pledged” super-d in any binding sense. The Sups can vote for whomever they please and I’m not sure but it may even be a secret ballot. If the DNC types who ARE the Sups see that Barry is too radioactive they will back Hillary. A blow out like this doesn’t change the state delegate count by much but those whose careers rely on winning elections have to add these numbers into their calculus as they look to Nov and beyond.

Thats’ a short paragraph from Avarosis, makes me break out in the song ‘Schadenfreude’ from Ave. Q.
What really gets me is that the elites have spoken, they have chosen Obama, so what’s wrong with all the unwashed masses that still go out and vote for That woman. Don’t they understand that their votes don’t matter, they just muddle things up. The party has decided, how dare they think they have some constitutional right in this democracy to actually voice their opinions through voting.

Yup she did clean his clock. Strung him up by the short hairs. The thing is no reasonable white person is going to vote for a black man in this country and everyone in West Virginia knows it right?. the scary thing is it could lead to her being on the ticket as the number 2. Its not looking good for November thats for sure. unless we can get the the presidents current agenda thru congress we can continue to stall the congress at this rate they too will be worse than the do noting congress of 2006 now its controlled by the democrats so if we work this right we win. The Democrats have control we stall until we get our presidents agenda thru congress and they get the blame.
The president veto is there to back us up so let them fight we have to stall the congress until we get the presidents agenda forwarded. So I say let them fight we have work to do because come November who know how the finds of fate might be to us both in congress and in the white house. I would suggest a vp candidate of Elizabeth Dole that nomination would certainly take them by surprise too.

Oh, I don’t think it’s that no reasonable white person would vote for a black man; they just won’t vote for a Marxist with a track record like tissue paper who blames white people for all black peoples’ problems, who thinks he can lie with impunity because he’s black, and who screams that anyone who criticizes him is a “racist”.

Troll alert! Notice the double racism of the comment: if it is “just sarcasm” or “just a joke”, then it’s reverse-racist on West VA voters. But we already know Jae Anderson is a troll from threads such as this one, a few months ago:

Comment by ILoveCapitalism — May 14, 2008 @ 1:15 pm - May 14, 2008
Now, what I came to say: It looks like Hillary could catch up in the popular vote in the popular vote in the remaining contests. Which is the Democrats’ “nightmare scenario”: she wins the popular vote, or can plausibly claim to, but Obama is still ahead is delegates.
Now, how would they resolve that? Would it be fighting in the streets, or a joint ticket? We all know that, to ordinary people, a joint ticket would make a lot of sense. But could Hillary accept being number two? Or could Obama? I don’t think either of them could. I also think Hillary will believe that she has most to gain, in her quest for power, by continuing to undermine Obama 2008 and gaining the nomination and the Presidency for herself in 2012 (if she can’t have it in 2008).

Because the story from last night wasn’t the primary in West Virginia, it was the result out of Mississippi’s 1st. In 2008, the Democrats have now increased their House majority by 3 seats and folks, it’s not even November yet. Because of President Bush, the voters are still punishing the Republican’s in the Congress, even though Republicans are in the minority. Which is why I’ve maintained over the past year that Republican glee over the low approval rating of Congress was misguided. As long as President Bush is the head of our government, voters won’t blame the Democrats for anything.
Comment by Erik — May 14, 2008 @ 1:24 pm - May 14, 2008
I’m really torn about McCain. Evidently, vast swaths of the American people really want to give another try to leftism and the disastrous ideas of Jimmy Carter. And evidently, the Republicans *won’t* reform themselves or repair their brand or challenge the Democrats’ faulty premises or set the necessary common-sense, small-government agenda until AFTER such a disaster has taken place. So shouldn’t we just get the disaster over with? Have it now? (sincere question)

Comment by ILoveCapitalism — May 14, 2008 @ 1:31 pm - May 14, 2008
Why do you presume it’s like 1976? Barack Obama is a very charismatic individual, much more so than Jimmy Carter. It could be 1932.
Comment by Erik — May 14, 2008 @ 1:41 pm - May 14, 2008
Yeah. That’s the other side of the argument. Like I said, I’m torn. Every time I start thinking, OK, McCain’s better, I can get behind him - he’ll do something new to remind me why I can’t.
Comment by ILoveCapitalism — May 14, 2008 @ 1:47 pm - May 14, 2008
Besides McCain, nobody else in the Republican field would even have a chance against the Democrats. As NRCC chairman Tom Cole said last night, Republican candidates need to find a way to run as change candidates. That’s a very difficult prospect, given the political environment. However, I think McCain does have a chance of doing that. He has to wrestle away the change banner from Obama. But if I were a betting man (which i’m not), I’d put very long odds on a McCain victory. If the status quo holds, the Democrat will win by a comfortable margin.

Because the story from last night wasn’t the primary in West Virginia, it was the result out of Mississippi’s 1st.
Did you even look at the candidate in Mississippi’s First District?
Travis Childers had to DISOWN Obama and make it clear that Obama had not endorsed him.
Travis Childers also ran ads stating, “I’m pro-gun and pro-life.”
In short, the only Democrats who are winning are the ones who emphatically reject their party’s leadership and embrace Republican positions.
Childers won’t last; either his constituents will figure out he’s nothing more than a liar when he backs Pelosi on all of her pro-abortion, increased-spending, and anti-gun measures, or he’ll buck Pelosi and be destroyed by her and her crony circles. No-win situation.
Comment by North Dallas Thirty — May 14, 2008 @ 2:23 pm - May 14, 2008
And Erik, sorry about that first sentence; I made it sound like you hadn’t done any analysis on the Mississippi First race. It should be, “We should take a look at the candidate first.”

H-m-m-m-m. Republicans should get into a “hope” and “change” battle with Obama?
Obama sets the agenda and Republicans try to “out hope” and “out change” him?
How, exactly do you “out hope” and “out change” the Democrats? Out pander them? Grow the government faster? Out tax them?
Shall we go for full health care, free nursing homes, free day care, free college and two advanced degrees, free transportation and two weeks of vacation paid by the government? How about 20 years of transition income if you lose a job?
Republicans have the tried and true principles of conservatism to base their campaign on. Conservatism incorporations change that stems from continuity and growth. But it does not seek change as a principle. Change for the sake of change is the ideology of the cancer cell. It is the saprophyte that sucks the life out of the host.
We must change how Social Security is structured and funded. We must change Medicare/Medicaid to a system that will not continue to metastasize until it eats the entire treasury. We need to drive a stake through the stake of the heart of the Medicare drug plan and change it before it outspends the defense budget. We must change the whole tort system and reign in the idiocy rampant in “malpractice” suits.
The primary job of government is to protect the nation and to provide for the long term security of the people. Borrowing from the future to increase the goodies for the now is lousy government. Every socialist government has played that game and failed or is on the brink of failing. They can only sustain themselves by sucking in a spiraling growth of foreigners to fund the now while further indebting the future.
If the Republican party is going to hop on the goodie wagon as its vehicle for change, then goodbye Republicans. The Democrats are the undisputed champions of tax and spend. Why even think of that game plan?

Uh, Jae Anderson, it was I Love Capitalism who outed you as a troll.
Please insult him.
And insult me too, while you are at it. My self esteem really needs a good bruising.
Here is a lead for your attack on me: I have been an active Republican working with the grassroots since the Kennedy-Nixon election in 1960. I have never met a Republican who even remotely resembles the points you raise in #17.
I am sorry for your military related loss of your health. Would you care to tell us how you feel about nationalized medicine? After all, you must have had extensive experience with VA care.
Comment by heliotrope — May 14, 2008 @ 3:23 pm - May 14, 2008
I love it when trolls are so dysfunctional, they can’t even make their dumb personal attacks on the correct target. Much less keep their own story straight. Here is the Jae of today:
And yet, also today:
Which is a bit contradictory right there… but there’s more, from the earlier thread I referenced:
So Jae, which is it? Proud Republican who badly wants President Bush’s agenda to pass Congress? Or barking-crazy hater of Bush and McCain? Which?
For the record: “Jae” is always bringing up his/her veteran status in an irrelevant fashion, when nobody has even mentioned it. To the best of my knowledge, neither I, NDT nor heliotrope have ever raised questions or taken any position on it, one way or the other.
Comment by ILoveCapitalism — May 14, 2008 @ 3:56 pm - May 14, 2008
Awww, GP, you didn’t need to delete that post.
After all, with it up there, it was always available to link to and demonstrate that “Jae” was so hateful and incoherent that he couldn’t even read names on comment posts, much less make any sort of intelligent analysis.

It was way over the line.

NDT: Don’t overplay the mouse. There could be some serious synapse concerns there.
Comment by heliotrope — May 14, 2008 @ 4:58 pm - May 14, 2008
heliotrope, I am starting to agree. I started the “troll outing” theme here, but I am starting to wonder if Jae might really be a disabled veteran - with serious mental and emotional problems, on top of whatever physical problems.
Comment by ILoveCapitalism — May 14, 2008 @ 5:19 pm - May 14, 2008
I think the three special election losses by the Republicans of supposed safe seats just means the electorate wants to throw all incumbents out. Why? Because they can’t get a damn thing done. We should vote out every damn one of these current incumbents for incompetence. We do it by not voting or throwing our bums out. Unfortunately in the liberal Democrat world, bumbling incompetence gets you awards and praise (Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Carter….)
Comment by Gene in Pennsylvania — May 14, 2008 @ 10:08 pm - May 14, 2008
The Obama/Wright Democrats have ceeded W Virginia to the Republicans. He is giving up all of the south as well. His only electorial college win comes from picking up some of the west, NM, CO, and possibly the state of his VP nominee….OH, KS or AR. NH is also solidly in the McCain column against Obama.
