As West Virginia Goes So Goes The Nation?
Posted by rotus under Presidential election, politics | Tags: Clinton, Hillary, politics, primary |CNN Politics.com says “Under pressure from some to withdraw from the race, Clinton insists that West Virginina, where only 28 delegates are at stake, is a key state in the fight for the White House. She said again Monday that no Democratic candidate since 1916 has gone on to win the White House without first winning West Virginia. “
Now I don’t have anything against West Virginia. They have some nice mountains there, Berkeley Springs has a good little spa and I’ve enjoyed listening to Mountain Stage on the radio on occasion, even though it’s no Prairie Home Companion.
But come on Hillary, you can’t get to the White House without winning West Virginia? How about Delaware? Rhode Island? American Samoa? This is getting absurd. Lots of white people in West Virginia, though. Gotta have those white people, don’t we?

Please know…that all of us out here…are not buying the “Obama Kool Aid.” He is crouched within a giant Trojan Horse that the looney left of the Demo Party is slowly and quietly wheeling toward the gates of the White House. We are all not taken in by this Changeling’s slick rhetoric, his constant explanations (is it 4 or 5 different ones now on Rev. Wright, his 60’s terrorists buddies and his close association with Tony Rezko?) nor did we miss his snobbish snipping at the middle class who cling to their guns and God when all else fails them. Nor did we miss his wife’s dismay at “mean America” his aversion to the flag or his off-guard remarks about his “typical white woman” grandmother. Any journalist that gives this “ticking time bomb” a pass to the White House should be held accountable (at some future date) for this nation’s total demise.

Thank God Mountain Stage is not aPHC…Real music for real people comes out of the Mountains…BTW, Barack has challenged America to think differently about how we approach politics…Yo don’t have to buy into it or drink the cool-aid but he is right on changing the process…

Does Dee mean that….
“Any journalist that gives this “ticking time bomb” a pass to the White House should be held accountable (at some future date) for this nation’s total demise.”
is going to jail or worse? (shudder)
I like Cool-Aid by the way. Use to freeze it in ice cube trays with a popsickle stick in it, when I was little. Taught my kids the same.
I think Dee drinks cool-aid also!

I think she is talking about the judgment of history. We don’t send journalists to jail, do we?
