Official West Virginia Democratic Primary Discussion Thread...

[Eraserhead]

So Obama would, in fact, defeat McCain in the Democratic Primary. lol.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

How would one deduce that?

Well, that would logically be about 54% female at most, no?  It's generally closer to 60%.

Yes, I see that now. There is no competing primary in a state without party registration no?

West Virginia has party registration, and there is a competing primary, although no one that is cared about.  WV is semi-open but that doesn't matter much since there are like three independents in the entire state.

More like nine these days. Three a couple of decades back though.

Thanks Alcon. You know, come to think of it, West Virginia, is along with Maine, North Dakota  and Alaska, one of the four states that has been deprived by not having been graced with my presence. That is the scenic route way of saying I don't know squat about the state.

[Alcon]

Experience: 93-3 Clinton
Change: 53-45 Obama

Yeah, this is going to be annihilation.

Your loss; it's fascinating.

Obama voters in November:

Clinton 51%
McCain 31%
Would not vote 14%
Other 4%

Clinton voters:

Obama 36%
McCain 35%
Would not vote 24%
Others 5%

Ooouch.

That doesn't mean that all Clinton voters would be supporting Clinton in a Clinton-McCain matchup either.  DINOs/socially conservative Democrats might prefer her in the primary but prefer someone else in the general.

[Alcon]

Very true.  In most states, it's mostly Republicans trying to muck with the results.  In West Virginia, it's oftentimes the Democrats themselves

I didn't know that there were Republicans in West Virginia (it's a joke ok )

[Alcon]

Commander in chief question is 68-29 Clinton.

That works out to Obama in the very low 30s, maybe just at 30%, by my estimates.

As expected.

[agcatter]

Based on the 69% of whites to Hillary I say:

Hillary       65%
Obama     31%
Edwards     4%

[Alcon]

Does Obama share Wright's views?

Yes 51%
No 47%

Has Clinton attacked Obama unfairly?

Yes 59%
No 38%

Has Obama attacked Obama unfairly?

- "Evenly divided"

Pretty funny. LOL @ West Virginia

[War on Want]

Is Edwards on the ballot?

Yussir

Yay!!!!!! I can root for him now, even though I know he is now the rascist/xenophobic/sexist's candidate.

[Joe Biden 2020]

The polls close in 15 minutes and then we will begin to see how bad Obama's going to get crushed tonight.  With only 28 delegates, West Virginia won't be that important even if she comes out with a 10 delegate net.  According to CNN estimates, he comes in with 1874 delegates (151 delegates from nomination) and she comes in with 1697 delegates (177 delegates behind Obama).  So, he is closer to the nomination than he is to Hillary Clinton.

[Alcon]

CNN's exit poll reporting among Clinton supporters say that 75% would be dissatisfied if Obama won, 23% would be satisfied, and, uh...2% not "neither," but "other."  What's "other"?

"I would be neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, but I would be hungry"?

Hungry for what?  Can you elaborate?

[Torie]

"In perfect equipoise" of course, which I am sure what the "others" would have written in, if asked to explain what "other" meant.

I think that is a lessor included category of dissatisfied perhaps. LOL.

Which areas do you guys think that Edwards will perform the best?

I don't really expect massive differences, but I guess the east?
