Look, I'm a committed Obama supporter and I agree with you he's the presumtive nominee at this point. But, really, you're not going to win anyone over in West Virginia with that kind of "challenge."
Even if a few national media pundits have declared it over, the nomination contest is far from over in West Virginia. The Clinton's are camped here. The state is enjoying feeling relevant for the first time since 1960 (when it delivered the nomination to JFK). The local media is covering an active race.
Also, there are many reasons why people support Clinton here. Mostly, a vote for Hillary is just a vote for Hillary.
Finally, why do we have to wait until after next Tuesday to be called all sorts of bad names? You just did it. Insulting us isn't going to win over any hearts and minds.
I realize your intentions are in the right place, but, please, what you're saying is not going to work if you truly want to win anyone in West Virginia over to Obama.

The New Democratic Coalition (tm) doesn't need "Bumpkins. Hodads. Yahoos. Hillbillies." You know, the economically downtrodden that used to be the reason the Democratic party existed. Anything that suggests otherwise (like, say, mathematics) is just catering to right-wing talking points.
