BHO would only carry Detroit. The rest of the state would go for McCain. Given!

Arrogant Presumption..... He is asked a question about his running mate and says that it would be presumptuous to talk about a VP pick when he hasn't even secured the nomination. YET... he has racheted up the criticisms on McCain and campaigns in a swing state that ALREADY VOTED in the Democratic Primary.

NOW, he points to Childers as being an example of HIS opportunities in Mississippi. Words Matter as Obama put it. So, why not be the team player and say the Childers victory is an example of A DEMOCRATS opportunities in Mississippi.

But he can't... why ???

ARROGANT PRESUMPTION.........

BHO chose to take his name off MI ballot for no other reason, but pandering voters in Iowa. He bribed them by telling Iowans he is with them, by stripping the right to vote in MI and FL.

He succeeded his pandering and won Iowa.

It is so interesting to hear the conversation about Clinton's win in West Virginia--that this is a warning for Obama.

Does anyone remember that Obama beat Clinton in Hawaii by 76% to 24%? It is also a State in the U.S. and it is about the same size as West Virginia.

Regardless of what color, or what class or what educational level the people are who are voting for Obama, the main quality difference is that there are more of them because he has more popular votes, more elected delegates, more superdelegates and more states won.

Hillary's campaign was doomed from the start. She employed principles of the white male paradigm to determine how she was going to win the election. The white male paradigm for running for President in the U.S. is:
1. I'm white
2. I'm male
3. White people in the U.S. are more plentiful and they will vote for me, a white male,
4. I need only the "big" states where white people are
5. I can ignore the Caucus states
6. I can depend on big donors to raise money because as a privileged white male, I have access to such people

Hillary used this paradigm even though she was an unconventional candidate for President. How sad! That's like a women taking a stress test to detect heart disease by taking a stress test that was designed for men.

Obama, on the other hand, knew he had to rewrite the paradigm. His paradigm is based on these principles:

1. I am an African American male
2. U.S. has many diverse people
3. No all white people are racists
4. Every state is important, no matter how small
5. I don't come from wealth or fame so I don't have one person who can give me $1,000,000.
6. But, my 1,000,000 non rich ordinary friends can give me $50 each which will result in millions of dollars
7. I will preach a message of change, not simply because I can bring change but because AMERICA HAS ALREADY CHANGED!

Herein lies the difference.

Go on you pundits, keep preachin' and dissecting American citizens into groups, income levels, education levels, skin colors, etc. In the final analysis, it's who has the most votes.

I see all the Bad News Bears have come out to play again today. Well, have at it and have fun if this kind of ugliness is what floats your boat. It doesn't mine, for I am only interested in the good of our nation. Looks, pantsuits, color of skin, age, gender, flag pins, Rev. Wrights, Keating 5's, Lewinskis, are all old c r a p thrown around today as if they hold something of importance. The only thing I see is a future, and a brighter one if we can find away to dwell on what's really important and then pull all our resources and assets together.

YESSSSS !! That just might save us. Otherwise, well you know what they say about a House Divided, well don't you?

Well, I live in Colorado, which is also a swing state, and Obama won in Colorado by around 40% also. Some of the comments here are really absurd. Calling him arrogant because he didn't mention his 40 point loss in W. Va.? Umm... is he supposed to bring this up in every speech? During plenty of speeches by Clinton following losses she never mentioned her losses from prior days. Just absurd double standards, and as for the stupid flag pin, I've never seen Clinton or McCain wear on either....

Hawaii= his "home" state!!

It's amazing to see the intelligence of Hillary voters. How pathetic.

1% for John McCain? No different than Indiana. They are not worrying about voting for him now he is the GOP nominee! He is not even campaigning very hard in these last states.

Whether Sen. Obama or Sen. McCain, our country will get exactly what it deserves. The choice will be ours.

Barack, plays by the rules? Now that's funny!

His Royal Highness Obama had to finally wear a flag pin to pander to us idiotic White Asian and Latino trash. How pathetic.

Obama is the only one offering to help those thirty years old and below. All the old timers do not want this to happen. They want to keep pouring their debt on us while they reap the cash.

I'm sick and tired of the media talking about the African-American vote. Obama will win some southern states because of the African-American vote. The media are the ones that created this divide. I'm African-American and a Hillary supporter. I will not vote for Obama in the General Election. I will sit this one out. Here we go again, putting up another John Kerry, Al Gore nominee. These are white guys and they lost the GE. I'm sick of the Democratic Party because they have become disorganized and weird.

Republicans are losing because their constituency does not trust them. The are distrusted - not because of corruption or gas rates or foreclosures; the mistrust comes from the inability of conservative politicians to be "conservative". McCain will lose because registered "R"s will not go out to vote for him. He's a fraud - and an irascible, belligerent one at that. Bush betrayed conservatives and McCain never liked them to begin with. Conservatives will stay home. Obama will be the next president. The landslide will be his, not McCain's. The Dems I know love Obama. The Reps I know hate McCain. I don't love Obama, but I don't hate the kid. McCain - I hate that old b******

Sen. Obama forgets that he fights with Sen. McCain in November for the White House. So, Democrats' party could not make a decision on who will be the USA President as they made decision on who is Democrats' nominee.

WV was tailor made for Clintons demographics. Had yesterdays primary been VA instead, the story and spin would be different.

He would have lost WV at anypoint during the primary. He crushed her in SC and will win OR next week.

What will she say then?

At the end of the day, he wins. More delegates, more states wons, added new swings states, pop vote and new voters.

Typical Americans are against Obama.

Hillary was suppose to win the nomination and lost it. Obama was suppose to show face and prepare for future elections and he ended up winning. FL and MI doesn't count because of party rules, and anyoe who thinks that race does cut deep in the US is an idiot. We are still trying to tackle race issues in this country and what better way to do so then to have a candidate who stares the problem right in the face. Hillary can't manager her own campaign, how will she be able to manage this country. We already have economic problems in this country, we cannot afford to see more error in the white house.

Obama has lost 2 states by margin of 40+%. Hillary has lost 15 states by 40+%. Obama will put more states into play in the general, Hillary will have only Ohio and Florida. I've said before I'll say it again. Obama will make Republican sweat to keep the south while he will focus on His available swing states, Michigan, Virgina, and Missouri. He can possible get South Carolina and Georgia. Obama is a better candidate that why the math is on his side.
