Does a West Virginia win mean Hillary Clinton still has a chance as Democratic nominee?
West Virginia is said to be held by Hillary Clinton supporters. If this is the case, does Hillary still have a chance to stay in the race.

Check out these questions: Should "In God We Trust" be taken off of US money?When Barack Wins The Nomination Will You Vote For McCain In The General Election?

Answered Yes; It proves that Hillary Clinton has the working-class vote leading to higher "electability."
Hillary is a true AMERICAN and shows and acts the same. You don't see her turning her back to OUR FLAG nor disgrace it as he has and our country. He is for noting that all we need is a change but doesn't have a clue as t what he'll change or how except let it be know that he is black and wants the world to say I did it! He'll never be a Martin Luther King . King was for ending the civil rights problem and all this guy is going to do is put us back years of accomplishing what has already been done. He's all about ME! He just isn't as squeaky clean as you might think. After all he has already been linked to terrorist and what better way to let them take over than have our Chief in command the head honcho. You don't find Hillary's name on the terrorist link. Wake up people , I just hope it isn't to late for him ruining our race once more. -

Yes only because Super Delegates are what will control the outcome.
If they do their job by voting with constituients - they are NOT doing their job in such a close race.
I am not speaking racist or sexist, ONLY being the elder with certain energy that comes with her age, with a thirty five year steady movement behind her, and 70% of voter support prior to Barrack entering the race, this was Hillary’s time for Americans. Due to the 2006 knowledge of a large voter turn out, the Democratic National Committee chose to try and elect what would be our first African American president. While young, the hope of the quick building, arm twisting elites of the DNC and sudden persuasion for African American politicians to leave the Clinton Campaign was like an opening of floodgates. The therefore “broken” 2008 Coalition for an Election based on Race began. The seeds of division were planted and now have trickled down to the public, who is furious that they have been asked to vote for Race or Gender in the same election and at such a crucial time of War, Security and Economics that faces Americans. Once again the public has been played by the good ‘ol Washington tricks and special interests.
Obama would show enough experience, in the frenzy of an impatient nation, who desperately wants to prove they are NOT racist, through his charismatic articulation of hope. This atmosphere would present probably the best good opportunity for a younger, hopeful African American. Hi...Yes only because Super Delegates are what will control the outcome.

His and the DNC’s strategy is politics as usual reflecting the very actions in Washington Senator Obama vows to end.
Senator Clinton had the dignity and courage to agree to cough up her some 70% lead and national support from late 2006, which is something I, possibly the nation have never seen either party do! She has been stomped on harshly for three months by manipulating pundits and long time politicians who have a vested interest in manipulating Obama’s youth to push through legislation that otherwise, with some democrats like Hillary Clinton, they could not achieve before retiring into the sunset for the historians to bless them positively.
Thanks guys! All we wanted was justice and the truth. Not to be told stay positive, think good thoughts. All we wanted was possibly eight years (being the elder) of Madam President to end the long movement for the equality of women with another eight years from Obama, ending the race issue, while all the time making change and undoing the horror of the Cheney/Bush years. Someone got selfish! And it has not been Hillary Clinton or the millions of Americans who have worked billions of hours from beginning in their youth, walking with her over 35 years to the steps of the White House. Shame on the DNC this election. Stop blaming Hillary Clinton for your mess!
So yes - IF the Supers were in fact wise, they would NOT allow the facade to continue to mock the American citizens.(less) -
Answered No; Barack Obama still has a better chance of winning in November.
Just what is the working class vote? I'd venture to say that most of Barack's supporters, no matter their race,work, or have worked, or wish they were working, or wish they could quit work entirely. West Virginia just represents the segment of the USA that is redneck and who have not been enlightened. If those are the voters that support Hilary, then who wants to live in her America. Not me. -

I am for Hillary,I dont understand this delegate stuff.I think the whole ought to be heard not just a few from different states.You go by what the people want ,its Hillary.I think she would be best for the job.I think 3/4 of the people thinks so.Black & White, Spanish.My opinion Obama has no experience ,think our country will go further under.People better think. -
I am thinking and have been thinking since before it all began. Hillary Clinton is an opportunist with one goal in mind, the Presidency. I will not support such a person. I am white, "old" a woman, nearly all qualifying me for being dumped in the Clinton camp. Trouble is I'm also educated. She doesn't do too well there, and that should tell you something.

Sorry but that is more false spin. The two of them almost always split the more educated voters within a few points of each other with exception of one state(don't remember which) where he got around 60%. Oh, but tonight she won them by 60+%. As well as every other demographic.. young, affluent and educated.
And as far as her being an opportunist... he served only only 16 months in the US Senate before declaring he was running for president. His entire manufactured image and media machine are all for one purpose... to make him president. His *real* knowledge and understanding of the core details of the issues is severely lacking. Really listening to him it is frightening that he just seems to mimic or simulate solutions without *knowing* the problems. Research his solutions to the oil/gas crisis. He blames independent oil companies in the US when they control less than 6% of worldwide oil reserves. Sure, make them do business in a more fair market manner but to target them as the sole, or even primary, solution to the obscene price of oil is not smart and could be dangerously narrow sighted. And don't get me started on his solution to use the *Strategic* Petroleum Reserves...
He needs more time to become familiar with more than the 'face' of the issues; to learn the WHY and HOW of national and international economics, big business, military defense and the oil market.
[/rant] sorry... just my .02 -
If people want Obama why hasn't he won by now? And why hasn't he won any state that will make a difference in the GE? Why is he polling so badly against McCain while she has been leading consistently against McCain for weeks now?
Why did he barely manage to get one in 4 voters in West Virginia tonight? He didn't win in *any* demographic (not the young, the affluent or the educated etc) other than race.
Why can't he just close the deal? -
Wow - you sure are edg-ucated.
Obama is ahead of Hillary by a couple hundred delegates - he is very close to the 2025 mark in needed delegates and you are saying why can't he close the deal?
Why can't Hillary close the deal - she's way behind!
Where did you see Obama polled "so badly" against McCain? DId you see that or did ya hear that? Everyone I've seen he is way ahead of McCain. -
lol Whatever. He is polling about +1-2 ahead of McCain (I've seen one poll that said +7 but that is so far from others as to not be credible); Hillary is polling +5-6.
And your weird reference to me being educated? Take a look at, for example, this poll. Take a look at the very high number of illiterate and illegible posts here. See who they support? So, you might want to think twice about bringing education into the conversation.
