Shocking Clinton Victory in Hicksville, er…West Virginia
Sorry, couldn’t resist. West Virginia is the least educated state in the country, fyi. As in it has the fewest people with college degrees. Throughout this election, I always found it rather amusing that the college-educated people are supporting Obama. Why is that exactly? I think among Democrats who maybe don’t pay much attention to politics and news, they tend to go for the person they know better. And many may like Hillary’s message better too. Plus one thing that commentators rarely mention to explain this voting disparity is that her name is CLINTON. If Obama was running against anyone else, I seriously doubt this would be an issue, but people know and generally like the Clinton name.
So, yeah, Hillary won today pretty handily. *Yawn* Gave a speech…threatening to continue on….probably will until June 3 when all votes are cast. Guess what? Obama still has a massive lead in delegates. In fact, he picked up 9 more today (including Supers and Add-ons), canceling out her pickup of 9 in the WV primary. Just get me to June 5 I am telling you. Bye bye Hillary.
