Hillary Clinton Wins West Virginia Big, and She Still Has No Chance
May 14th, 2008
Since this was a good comment (if I do say so myself) that I made at Media Lizzy, might as well make it a post of it with some additional information, since none of my other post in progress are ready this morning.
This win in West Virginia is the most insignifigant blow out win in presidential eletorial history.
West Virginia just proved that it’s what everyone thought it was - an ignorant, uninformed, redneck state with a bunch of racist who wouldn’t vote for a Black guy no matter what.
It’s what, the second poorest state, and one of the most uneducated with a 94% white population, many of whom admitted they were racially biased against voting for Blacks.
This not connecting with working class white people stuff is a crock. Iowa is a rural working class state that Obama won over the much better known Clinton, and over Edwards who had been camped out there for 5 years.
He won Wiscons not too long ago, which is more than 80% white and very working class. It’s not that Obama can’t win working class whites, he can’t win redneck whites. Big Difference!
The shock would have been if a state full of inbreeds like the teams of mothers and sons who engaged in the Megan Williams rape together did vote in large numbers for a Black man.
The lopsideness of this vote is an indictment of America.
Clinton’s “White Americans” Comments Still Being Denounced Extensively
themoderatevoice.com/media/journalism/19522/clintons-white-americans-comments-still-being-denounced-extensively/
Peep that article, it gives snippets and links of Clinton being widely denounced for her racist comments about “hardworking Americans” being “white Americans”. It’s funny how this got so much ink; but was glossed over on t.v. for two days, and had disappeared on the screen by Monday. But the media is in the tank for Obama, when they’re still drumming “bitter” a month later; yet Hillary can say anything and it barely last a couple days.

Glad you pointed out the difference between Redneck Whites and the Working Class Whites. Not too many people are aware of the different mindsets these two groups have.
Funny ish though… I must say. This win gives the woman false hope. I don’t have enough money to buy her a clue and apparently reality hasn’t hit her over the head hard enough.
Hillary Clinton can’t buy her self-important/self-delusional as a clue with all 109 million dollars.
Opps, I mean 109 million - 11.6 million she loaned her own campaign.
