The last Democrat to win the WH without WV was Woodrow Wilson in 1916

[tritsofme]

FYI

[KSinTX]

1. And the next one will be ...

BARACK OBAMA

[WeDidIt]

2. And that matters why?

[bowens43]

3. So? Are you trying to make a point of some kind?

[PM7nj]

4. The last one to win without Wisconsin was Kennedy....

...don't you see how stupid these arguments are?

[PM7nj]

6. Oh, BTW... Al Gore won.

[Rose Siding]

9. Oooo, such a good point

I'd forgotten bush took wv in 00. thanks!

[SoCalDem]

23. and he did not win Alaska or Hawaii

:rofl:

or Guam or probably Puerto Rico either:)

[Bicoastal]

5. Why are we assuming that ALL of the good people voting for Clinton would pass on Obama?

If it's true, it IS kinda indicative of racial discrimination, but why leap to that conclusion?

[unlawflcombatnt]

14. Because it's true

I'm a registered Democrat and I won't vote for Obama under any circumstances.

He's a lying slimeball with no substance, no courage, no experience, no honesty, no integrity, and no leadership skills whatsoever. He's played the race card and insulted working Americans. He's nothing but a Corporate shill.

He's got nothing. And a lot of Democrats won't vote for him.

And he won't win the general election as a result.

[Bicoastal]

17. Ah, you got it out of your system. Feel better?

Now imagine John McCain as president.

Still feeling good?

[anonymous171]

18. "Nothing but a corporate shill"- you are supporting the wrong candidate

if you didn't like corporate shills, you wouldn't be supporting HRC.

[IsItJustMe]

22. Go away. Don't go away mad, just go away. LOL, What up Rush?

[Life Long Dem]

7. If Hillary supporters put as much effort in their research of Obama

toward Hillary wouldn't they know, they lost this race?

[babylonsister]

8. I seem to recall a senator would never get nominated or win the wh.

Rules were made to be broken.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. John Kennedy Went Directly From The Senate To The White House

~

[babylonsister]

15. My point was that that was the prevailing word on DU prior to

people running for prez, and probably while they were running. It didn't prove to be true.

[anonymous171]

10. No. Al Gore won in 2000

[pkz]

12. very Powerful UMWofA

were a factor, they are not now.
They always endorsed the Dem candidate hard....they are not much of a force anymore.

13. Kerry lost WV in 2004

and I think he won the election, if it hadn't been for a stolen Ohio.

[thatsrightimirish]

16. California voted Bush in 1984

So what?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. Bush Wasn't On The Ticket In 84 Unless You Mean VP

He did carry it on his own in 88...

[thatsrightimirish]

29. you're correct my bad

It did go Republican in 84 though

[DemocratSinceBirth]

30. No Problem

[Life Long Dem]

19. New Hampshire voted McSame in 2000

and the same thing this year. Bush won in 2000 and Obama this year in November! So there!

[IsItJustMe]

20. Trends are meant to be broken, and are broken every day. This years electorial map will break all

of the old rules. Nothing will be the same after this election. Remember, you heard it hear first.

[Medusa]

21. Tomorrow is not the GE, it's a P-R-I-M-A-R-Y.

But why does it surprise me that the Hillbots can't seem to understand the difference?

[anonymous171]

24. The entire state seems to be populated with Reagan dems.

All McCain has to do is drop the gay/terra bomb and Hillary's support goes away.

[crimsonblue]

25. The last person to give a shit

was Woodrow Wilson. FYI.

[Az_lefty]

26. if nothing had changed since 1916 this would be important...

the thing is everything has changed.
Have a nice day...

[Faygo Kid]

28. Wilson: "Birth of a Nation" (pro-Klan) was like writing "history with lightning."

Wilson was a profound and unrepentant racist; a native Virginian who was a child of the bitterness of his class, post-Civil War.

Ironic source to post to support your candidate in West Virginia. Given her campaign, and all.

[RBInMaine]

31. Wrong. Gore REALLY won the election in '00 without WV. New map today anyhow.

[Youphemism]

32. And another thing...

We haven't had a president with three syllables in his last name and two syllables in his first name since Franklin Roosevelt. And we haven't had one like that who could walk well since McKinley.

The truth is out there. Do not be deceived by the dork side of the farce.

[AZBlue]

33. Are you psychic? How do you know how WV will go in the GE??

[kwenu]

34. Unnnggggh...*PLONK*
