Clinton Holds Huge Leads in West Virginia and Kentucky PDF Print E-mail
by Tom McGregor    Mon, May 12, 2008, 04:58 PM

Kentucky Clinton.bmpSen. Hillary Clinton is headed for two sweeping victories in West Virginia and Kentucky even as her campaign appears to be in the final stages. According to new opinion polls released Monday, Clinton holds a 34 point lead in West Virginia and a 27 point lead in Kentucky.

CNN reports that, “in West Virginia, which votes Tuesday, a Suffolk University Poll has Clinton drawing 60 percent of likely Democratic voters compared to Obama’s 24 percent. The poll also shows Clinton holds a 70 percent approval rating among West Virginia’s Democratic primary voters. Only half the state’s likely primary voters think Barack Obama can beat John McCain in a general election match-up.”

A Research 2000 poll conducted in Kentucky shows Clinton winning 58 percent of the vote to Obama’s 31 percent. However, Sen. John McCain is more popular with Kentucky voters. The Arizona senator holds a 25-point advantage over Obama and a 12-point lead over Clinton.

Good, I hope she keeps the lead up until the polls close.

I'll give Hillary credit for one thing--she does not quit. Does anyone but me think she has something up her sleeve for the convention?

The "arithmetic" as of right now shows that it is still possible for Hillary to emerge the victor in the DEM nomination contest; and she and Bill, and their operatives [and her ultimate sponsors] well know that if she concedes then she cannot win; but they also know that if she stays in [like Bill did in 1992] and wins the nomination [like Bill did in 1992] then she may win in November [like Bill did in 1992]. If Hillary really "wallops" Bahama in these two upcoming primaries, that may be enough to get the momentum behind her. It would be a mistake at this juncture to count her out.

If she can hold it past the first ballot, anything is possible.

She's toast and she knows it. She won't fight at the convention. This is all about having a graceful (if you can really call it that) way out and getting some negotiating room.

Bill Clinton emerged in March 1992, after the "Super Tuesday" primaries, as the presumptive nominee. The 1992 race was nothing like this one. There was no "staying in like Bill did." By March 1992, the Democratic field was down to Clinton, Tom Harkin and Jerry Brown. Bob Kerry withdrew before the Super Tuesday debate at WFAA in Dallas. Dr. Little, you don't know what you're talking about.

It appears that a combined ticket is fast approaching. An Obama-Clinton campaign would be a tough ticket to beat.

Obama can win the White House with Clinton on the ticket. I don't think he can win without her.

Those who say they won't vote for a 'black' person make me sick!

Seat the Florida and Michigan Delegations

Their votes counts
