First it is true, that from 1932 WV was part of every democratic victory, it never actually mattered. Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter and Clinton, would have all won even if WV went Republican. But the Clinton argument is even more twisted, because in this period WV simply was a democratic state, who also voted for Stevenson, Humphrey, Carter in 1980 and for Dukakis and it didn't help them much.<br><br>But it no longer is a democratic state. Republicans won in 2000 by a margin of 6% which grew to more than 10% in 2004. This is sad, but it makes it not even a battleground state anymore. Democrats have better chances in other places.<br><br>On the second part of the Clinton WV spin, that had the state gone blue in 2000 and 2004 we would not have had to deal with Bush. This is only true for 2000, Al Gore lost by 5 votes, so WV’s 5 electoral votes would have put him over the top indeed. However Kerry lost by more than 30 electoral votes. So a WV win in 2004 for the democrats would not have made any difference. Also it wasn't a price fight for either campaign, with states like Ohio and Florida where the polls were much closer and the electoral vote price much larger.<br><br>So if Terry Mcauliff, or the Clintons come on again with this silly argument, could someone please throw it  back in their faces. They should stop coming with silly arguments like this.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Sander van Velzen | 05.12.08 - 11:10 pm | <a href=\"#120700\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"120716\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=76c6696177ac9401433e0d85fb9355a0&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />some of our parents teachings should have gotten them locked up forever.  how do you teach your child hate and denial.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           tyebunche | 05.13.08 - 1:34 am | <a href=\"#120716\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"120720\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=7ce1cf51c899260b16b3825264150287&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />She's suppose to win by 40 points in W.

Oprah did not endorse,Sharpton, Jacksion, or Carol Mosely Brown, yet now she is called a racist.  Feminist called her a gender traitor. The fact is men and women of all background support Obama. But in the skewed brain of the racist it's racist for Black Americans to vote for Obama. <br><br>Americans are free to vote for whoever they want. That was not always the case. Women were denied until the 1920's. Barack Obama was born in 1961 at a time when most Black Americans were still denied their U.S Constitutional right to vote.  <br><br>If you are going to whine about Black Americans, then you have to whine about the 95% of Mormons that voted, Mitt Romney, or the 90% of Jews that voted for Leiberman.  <br><br>Now if you recall Hillary Clinton initally had huge lead among Black Americans. She led Barack Obama overall by over 30%. Overtime from Idaho, to Louisiana, to Maine, and 29 other states Obama proved to be the better candidate. Most of his voter and supporters happen to be White. <br><br>Barack Obama is not the first Black American to run. In 2004 Sharpton lost the Black vote to both Kerry and Edwards in the primary. 90% of Black Americans voted for Kerry, Gore, and Clinton.    <br>  <br>In the 2006 Maryland Senate race most Black Americans voted a Jewish candidate Ben Cardin over Michael Steele who is Black. Cardin lost the White vote 48% to 50% but won the Black vote 74% to 24%.  <br><br>Obama campaining for Cardin. <br> <br><a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjSI726ta48&feature=related' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D...feature=related</a><br /><span class=\"byline\">           Mr. Unite Us | 05.13.08 - 7:42 am | <a href=\"#120776\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"120777\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=0deb84fa678555b160740f10bb3558b6&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Where is it written that a person has to wear a flag pin in order to be considered a patriot? I think of myself as patriotic, and I don't wear a flag pin. And I must confess that the last time I attended a football game, I forgot to put my hand over my heart during the national anthem. Does that mean I don't love my country? No it does not. Enough of these hollow gestures. It's what in a person's heart, not over it. <br>If you want to study the platforms of the various candidates and then conclude that you can't vote for Obama, that's fine. But I think you'll find that his policies are more beneficial for the average Joe than those of McCain who wants to continue W's economic policies. And we all know how well those have worked out for most of us. <br>Don't take the lazy way out and latch onto something as silly as a flag pin, Obama's middle name (no, he's not a Muslim), or the color of his skin. There, I've said it. If a individual has the mental acuity, the emotional stability, the leadership qualities to be president, don't vote against him because he's black. And if you do vote against him because he's black, at least be honest enough to admit it and don't attribute your decision to flag pins, middle names, national anthems, and, yes, even Rev. Wright. <br>Our country is at a precarious point in its history and we should be electing our next president based on his abilities to steer a course through perilous times. I happen to think that that individual is Obama. If you, after careful study, you think it's McCain, so be it. That's what our democracy is all about.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           John | 05.13.08 - 7:42 am | <a href=\"#120777\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"120778\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=c3be0ef3fb46238fc063148bced77b02&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />America’s Greenest States – WV Ranks Dead Last!<br>If you ever wondered why we need a West Virginia Environmental Council, just consider the following: An October 17, 2007 Forbes magazine article ranks West Virginia as No. 50 – dead last – in the magazine’s first-ever list of America’s “Greenest” States. <br>“So who’s at the bottom?” the magazine asks.

It is about patriotism and other values. If Obama had spent years as a war prisoner, no one would care if wore a stupid pin, but when he gives as his explicit reason for taking it off that his patriotism *is* conditional, and when this is re-enforced by not just one acquaintance, but numerous acquaintances of his, a picture is painted.<br><br>He has a clear \"blame America\" mentality (supplemented with a \"blame Israel\" mentality -- he called Israel a \"sore\" in our foreign policy), in which he thinks he caters to the whims of dictators, they will magically stop hating us and stop murdering their own people. Naturally, the blame-America crowd think this is just fine, since they operate under the same delusion, but not all liberals think we should negotiate with terrorists and fascists.<br><br>Then there's his economic plan, which seems to be as inept as Bush, but with three times as high taxes.

Mr. Obama is young and fresh with good ideas and I like the fact that's he's willing to sit-down with America's enemies.  We all need to come together and work out our differences.  I believe Mr. Obama will get the nomination and become President of the United States. True patriotism does not come from wearing our country's flag on your lapel.  It comes from your heart, soul and spirit and Mr. Obama possess all those things.

If it was such a problem, then he'd be losing to HRC.)<br><br>2) Work, Woo, and Win the Referees (not done, JMc doesn't have any more of a pull with the media than HRC or BO.  They are all good with the press.  dead heat.)<br><br>3) Meet With the People, and Force Obama to Follow (unlikely, it's more likely that McCain is going to look old, outdated, and frail next to the energetic, forward thinking Obama. Have you seen him walk/shuffle? You might not like BO's message, but it's sticking with the people, just ask HRC. )<br><br>4) Claim the High Road Without Leaving the Low Road (again unlikely when the Keating 5 and Vietnam Vets for Truth stuff starts popping up.  Remember that people want change, not the same old corrupt Washington, and there are too many skeletons in JMc's closet.  Just b/c the GOP primary was a cakewalk, don't think the general election will be. )<br><br>5) Use A Vice President to Temper The Age Issue (not done, ANY VP candidate would be younger than McCain, but so what?  Either it's the person and not his age, or it's not.  You can't have it both ways. Besides that, people are voting for the president, not the VP, and JMc's age will still matter. Depending on who he picks, this could actually be a disaster for him. )<br><br>6) Make Inroads Among Traditional Democratic Voters (done, but again who cares?  McCain's crossover numbers are two to three times better than Obama's, but both BO & HRC have recruited enough new Dem voters to overcome the difference.  It's not your daddy's electoral map anymore.)<br><br>7) Rely on the Historic RNC Advantage (not done, there are a fair number of Repubs that don't like him and don't think he's conservative enough.  That alone might keep them home come Nov., but combine it with a general anti-Republican mood in the country and it might turn into a liability.  Also, aligning yourself with an unpopular sitting president kind of deflates a lot of this supposed \"advantage.\")<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Jamie Reynolds | 05.13.08 - 2:06 pm | <a href=\"#120843\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"120860\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=e281109360a5febf84083ae20fd19c5d&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />No matter the negative headlines plaguing the Internet today, Hillary will win big in West Virginia, and like the other General Electorate states that she has taken, this glaring gap in Sen.

Barack Obama and the flag pin.<br><br>Last October Obama was asked why he didn't wear a flag pin and <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8S2K3UO0&amp\">his answer was</a>:<br><br><blockquote>\"You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest. Instead, I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism.\"</blockquote><br><br>His words are clear...he decided not to wear the pin.<br><br>Now, lets look at his attempt to rewrite his own reasons and words.<br><br><blockquote>\"And the second thing, the way this has come up is the fact that I don't always wear a flag pin. Now I don't know if any of you who don't have flag pins consider yourselves unpatriotic. I think you're patriotic. The reason that I don't always wear a flag pin is not that I disrespect the flag, it's that when I started wearing a flag pin after 9/11, I gotta admit that sometimes I would misplace it and so I didn't always put it on.\"</blockquote><br><br>So, now it wasn't his decision, it was that he misplaced it sometimes... anyone buying this?<br><br>He continues:<br><br><blockquote>\"Then I was asked about this in Iowa,\" Obama said. \"And somebody said 'Why don't you wear a flag pin?' I said, well, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I said, although I will say that sometimes I notice that they're people who wear flag pins but they don't always act patriotic. And I was specifically referring to politicians, not individuals who wear flag pins, but politicians who you see wearing flag pins and then vote against funding for veterans, saying we can't afford it.\" </blockquote><br><br>You can look at his two explanations for yourself and decide if they match up with each other, or if he was simply trying to make it sound better this time than it did last time.<br><br>The flag pin never was much of an issue for me, hence my not writing about it at length at the time, but his constant stream of lies, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://wwwwakeupamericans-spree.blogspot.com/2008/03/new-game-for-democrats-who-can-tell.html\">many shown here</a>, is a problem for me. His consistent attempts to skewer the truth when it fits his agenda and then simply act like he did nothing wrong when he gets caught in a lie, is a problem.<br><br>The audacity it takes to tell these lies, straight to people's faces when his previous words were published over and over again, also shows he doesn't really care about the truth and further goes to show that his supporters don't either, or they would call him out on it and insist he start showing more honesty.<br><br>Little misstatements, little white lies or simple changes to a story told many times, is almost considered normal in politics, but when it becomes the one consistent theme, as with Rezko, Wright, and Ayers, and a whole list of topics ranging from big to small, it can be considered a pattern.<br><br>It is a pattern Obama supporters would rather ignore, as would Obama himself, but unless they face it head on and start holding him accountable, their credibility will fly out the window right along with his.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Susan | <a href=\"http://wwwwakeupamericans-spree.blogspot.com/\" title=\"http://wwwwakeupamericans-spree.blogspot.com/\">Homepage</a> | 05.13.08 - 3:54 pm | <a href=\"#120889\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"120893\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=7ef18f207699983138b64a4276a180ca&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Neither Hillary nor Obama will win the Presidency.

Or JMc's getting Hagee to apologize not to Catholics, but the ultra-conservative Catholic League.  I bet Hagee washed his mouth out with a gallon of holy water after that one.  <br><br>I'm voting for my server at TGIFriday's b/c she's got more pins than any of those loser candidates: the 15 pieces of required \"flair\".<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Jamie Reynolds | 05.13.08 - 9:17 pm | <a href=\"#120949\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"120953\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=cc836c8de1c8df3e8e0c4a39d2b7d988&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Name calling like \"moron,\" \"clueless\" etc.?

Well she brought it up several times over several years.. Have another Kool aid<br>Hagee.. Well yes he has apologized to the Catholic Church via the Catholic league more that Jeremiah WRONG has done aint it???  and Mc Cain has disavowed his position.. More that Barry Ho has done! and Besides hagee and Mc Cain have not shared the same church for 20 years.. Here Have another Kool aid.. Yellow this time.<br>As for the Flag pin.. I hope It sticks up .. well have another RED kool aid.. it might clear your Clouded Logic...and I bet that the TGIF-FER wears a REAL American PIN..( they do around here) So Enjoy your Refreshments .. <br>Have a great time at TGIF.. and don't overdo the Kool Aid...<br /><span class=\"byline\">           redhawk | 05.13.08 - 9:29 pm | <a href=\"#120954\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr>    <td class=\"InputCell\">                  <div id=\"newcomment\"></div><form method=\"post\" name=\"addComment\" action=\"http://www.haloscan.com/comments/spreeeziee/1686347303585325224/\" target=\"_self\">        <p>    Name: <br />          <input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Email:<br />          <input name=\"email\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          URL: <br />          <input name=\"url\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Comment:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"javascript:emo_pop()\" title=\"Smiley and tag help\" target=\"_self\">?</a>&nbsp;<br />          <textarea name=\"addMessage\" rows=\"12\" cols=\"38\"></textarea><br /><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"subscribe\" value=\"1\" /><label for=\"subscribe\">Notify me of followup comments via email</label>        </p>        <p class=\"PSubmit\"><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Publish\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />&nbsp;<input name=\"previewMessage\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Preview\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />        </p>      <input type='hidden' name='user' value='spreeeziee' /><input type='hidden' name='comment' value='1686347303585325224' /></form>    </td></tr>  <tr>    <td><p align=\"center\">        Commenting by <a href=\"http://www.haloscan.com/\" target=\"_blank\">HaloScan</a></p>      </td>  </tr></table><img src=\"http://c5.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=561713&amp;java=0&amp;security=01eeff58\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /></body>");
