Politico: Results Highlight The Question Of Exactly How Obama Can Beat Mccain In November

[bombadil4]

The fact that Obama flew off to Missouri while getting creamed in WV was probably a wise move. Unfortunately he spoiled the evening by promptly stating we need to send more Arabic translators to Afganistan--where of course they don''t speak Arabic. Sadly looks like it will be Bush 3 regardless of whether Obama or McCain win the general election.

Not sure why WV is suddenly the bell-weather for this campaign. WV has been the birthplace and home of the klan for 200 years. The amazing fact is that a black man got 91,000 votes in a state with almost no black population at all. Their whole 5 GE electoral votes certainly will not be any earth shaking matter one way or the other.

Obama must be doing something right, otherwise why would Hillary lift the best part of her speech last night from Obama?

So if WV shows that Obama has problems, than what do the 15 states that Obama won with over 60% of the vote say about Hillary???????

A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE
