Don't know if I can find a transcript or video, but I just saw Howard Wolfson on Chris Wallace's show this morning. Wallace was running through the standard fare: Clinton's comments about "hard working, white Americans," Florida and Michigan, the all-but foregone conclusion of the nomination campaign, Clinton's debt, the question of the "dream ticket," etc....
When Wallace asked about how Clinton could win the nomination, this is, more or less, what Wolfson said:
"It starts with West Virginia. WV is an important state, one that democrats should fight to win in November." Wallace didn't press him any further (in my mind: "OK, Howard, it STARTS with WV, but after you pick up a handful of delegates there, how do you overcome the massive delegate lead that Obama has already accrued?).
Then, later in the show, Wolfson returned to the theme of West Virginia's importance.
At this point in the show, he started laying into Obama: Why is he "writing WV off," why can't he close the deal, what if he loses WV badly after having emerged as the front runner, what will that say about him as a candidate, etc. etc. Wolfson seemed pretty pissed and, dare I say it, bitter.
More after the jump.
