Obama beats a federal prisoner by less than 20% in the West Virginia D. Primary.

LOL West Virginia "Democrats"

[mondale84]

Obama lost Boone, Clay, Gilmer, Hardy, Logan, Mingo, Webster and Wyoming Counties.  Still not much love for Obama in Appalachia.  

Meanwhile, Romney had his best showing of the night in West Virginia, nearly cracking 70%.  Anyone who thinks Romney will be a horrible candidate for West Virginia is wrong.  Romney's most important qualification is that he's not Obama.  If a federal inmate could get 40% against Obama in a Democratic primary, I'd be shocked if Romney doesn't win West Virginia by double digits.

This is exactly why WV is a joke "state"

Obama isn't winning a single county in November.

Has someone put this hilarious map together?

BTW...I'm working on a DEM primaries map from this year...even though the info for some states is hard to come by...so I'll be posting that soon...

There are 180 electoral votes between the Potomac and Rio Grande rivers; Romney will get every one of them.  That means he needs only 89 more (a 269-269 tie will give the GOP nominee the win in a Congressional vote).

Non-sequitur

It's a tough decision, considering that Obama's opponent is promising world peace through musical communication skills.

Joke senator from joke state.

There is ample evidence that Obama will plummet in WV, we just don't know how much.
Gallup lists his approval in WV at 32.7%  That's a 10.5% drop from his vote share just right there.  I think it's likely that WV will have pitiful turnout this November.  Those who are regular Dems who don't like Obama will either vote Romney or stay home most likely

I think he'll probably get around 31% in WV, but win no counties

That seems completely reasonable, given that it's barely an increase from 2008.

You Democrats who actually think Obama will improve in West Virginia are beyond delusional.  You're down right loony. 

They really are.

You are quite clearly trolling. Yes, turnout will be down. But it's not as if there were that many conservative "Democrats" that voted for Obama in '08 and now have concluded that he didn't live up to his "chance". They didn't vote for him then, and they won't in November. Obama's floor is probably 40% in WV, though he won't be doing much better than that.
