about ten at 7:30 p.m. tonight, just as Clinton is announced the winner in WV.

Esp. since it's still only the morning. :)
From what I've seen, most of the press is blase about Clinton's "big win" tonight. Any PR boost Camp Clinton gets tonight is currently offset by the continuing trickle of SDs, with the remaining bit quashed on the 20th when OR votes.

Obama's SD count today ended up equal to Clinton's take in WV.... C'mon, 15 or so more to go!!
Man, would I love that :-)
Obama's got a great big straw, and he's drinkin' McCain's milkshake!

Let the WV voters have their say first. Hillary needs a win before she closes shop anyway.

Assuming Hillary will get a net of 10 or 12 delegates from West Virginia, Obama arranging for about 8 or 9 superdelegates today would be interesting. The WV voters have their say, Hillary gets her victory, but it's minimized down to just a couple of delegates, rather than a big 'comeback'.

that's only one less than the 28 up for grabs in WV.
Do not call to a dog with a whip in your hand.

of WV imo. He can erase her what she gained easily enough, but no need to totally dominate her win. I think she needs this to work up to quitting. You can't humiliate her and force her to leave at this point.
John McCain hates kids.

Strong-arming could provoke a backlash among Clinton supporters. Plus, it's unnecessary. The math will only get better for Obama as the days trickle on.

I personally think all 50 states count but for the clinton campaign, West Virginia is a state with 11 letters so it's really big.
I shall not rest until right wing conservatives are 4th party gadflies limited to offering minor corrections on legislation once or twice a year.

Not tonight. Let her have her night.
Proud to be a latte-sipping, arugula-eating, kool-aid drinking egghead supporting Barack Obama.

I'd be pissed if I worked and worked and worked ... and then got scooped by party bigwigs - true for both Obama and Clinton supporters.
Let the Obama ground game work it as best they can, and if a few more delegates tip based on their efforts give 'em credit :-)
