Hardly Heaven for Obama

Looks like Barack Obama won't find West Virginia to be almost heaven. a new Suffolk University poll, conducted over the weekend, not only found Hillary Clinton ahead of Obama by 36 percentage points among likely Democratic voters but two-thirds of Democrats thought Clinton should stay in the Democratic race.

Obama is close to getting the 2,025 delegates needed to nominate, but Clinton is the clear favorite to win Tuesday's West Virginia primary.

Obama would not be a favorite to win West Virginia in a general election, either. Suffolk found 40 percent said they would stick with the Illinois senator in the fall, but 23 percent said they would prefer Arizona Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee. The rest were undecided, refused a response, or liked independent Ralph Nader.

Is it true West Virginia does not like Black People?

What have Black People ever done to the White People of WV of Kentucky?

This is sad for the World to know there are complete States that say they believe in Jesus Christ Our Lord, but yet they hate people based on the Color of their skin.

Now the World knows America speaks with a Fork tongue. We Americans tell the World about their Human Rights when se still HATE ON THE BASIS OF SOMEONE'S SKIN COLOR.

HILLARY AND BILL ARE PART OF THE KKK. Just think I defended the Clintons from the Charge of killing Vince Foster.

How sad WV and Kentucky the World knows you people are very HATEFUL PEOPLE, but anyways God our Father will be your Judge.

i feel it is sad that over 90% blacks are voting for obama. most are mainly voting for obama b/c he is black. so why is it such a big deal that white working class are voting for hillary. i think it should be a big deal that most blacks are voting for obama. that is what i feel is unfair to the american people that one group of people would mainly vote for the same person.

Can you imagine the sheer joy of being able to support a brilliant African American if you are are an African America? I am so proud of Senator Obama. The African American vote was Hillary's at the start but once "Black America" saw Obama's character, the choice was clear. I never had the chance to support a truly viable African American candidate in my life. I am not alone, millions of my fellow non-African American Americans are supporting the senator from Illinois based on his character. So the math equation points to the ones that for whatever reason cannot support him.
Maybe it's because he isn't a woman? Is it because of the color of his skin, or the content of his character?
