Hillary WHOMPS Obama in WV!

Anyone who has watched the David Letterman show of late, has heard him talk about the never-ending campaign to the Presidential election. According to Letterman,

“The election is three years from now. After the USA primaries, then they go to Canada for the Canadian primaries, and then to Europe, for the European primaries.”

While that may be a slight exaggeration, this year’s Democratic primary has been going on for a long, long time.

Hillary Clinton refuses to quit until, or unless, her opponent, Barack Obama achieves the required number of delegates before the convention. She has been saying that she is the more electable candidate in November, and there are many signs that she may be correct.

Yesterday, Hillary’s victory in West Virginia was more than just double digits. She won by 61%, or two to one. To say that the victory was lop-sided is an understatement. Obama knew he didn’t stand a chance with those voters, so he just walked away. Guess he figured it was better to say that he didn’t try, than to admit that demographic won’t touch him with a ten-foot pole.

As Hillary said after yesterday’s primaries closed.

“”The White House is won in the swing states, and I am winning the swing states.”

Next, it’s on to the results in Oregon and Kentucky next week. Five primaries remain: Oregon and Kentucky next Tuesday, Puerto Rico on June 1, and Montana and South Dakota on June 3. Together, those five contests will award a total of 189 delegates, not enough for either candidate to clinch the nomination.

And now that Barack Obama has shown that he can resoundingly lose a primary, John Edwards has come forth and declared for BO. This, after weeks of adamently refusing to back either candidate, even in his home state of North Carolina. Since Edwards campaigned on a platform of fighting for the “common man”, and Obama has alienated that group so completely with his elitist statements, I smell politics at work. Could there be a VP offering, or some other pledge, from Obama to Edwards somewhere in the works? Hmmm?

In the meantime, John McCain is busy helping whomever wins the brokered Democratic convention to have a better shot at the White House. During a time when the economy is doing a nose-dive, instead of taking advantage of the continuous slugfest between HC & BO to strengthen his chances, John McGore is busy making pronouncements about global warming, further alienating many Republicans.

This campaign almost seems to be a comedy of errors. Excuse me, a never-ending comedy of errors.
