Congratulations Clinton! You’re officially the candidate for…

the racists that still exist in this country.
What disturbs me is that there is obvious racist sentiments leading to Clinton’s victory in West Virginia. There were reports in exit polling that two-thirds of the voters in West Virginia would not vote for Obama because he is black. This should disturb Clinton more than anyone. Why should she celebrate in their votes? And it should disturb her supporters. It taints anyone that supports her.
Clinton has no chance of winning the nomination. It’s over. It’s long been over, but the Democratic party has been patient with her. And yet she continues on, based on the hope that super delegates will cozy to her broad base appeal argument.
My argument against the broad based appeal and the idea that Obama can’t win white, working class American’s is basic. I don’t want to be in a party that has racists. Period. I thought that was the other party (in fact the last two presidential elections West Virginia did in fact go to Repubicans). So if the Democratic party wants to make the argument that in order to win the election, it must appeal to this group, then sorry - I’m not party to that.
In fact if Hillary truly is not a racist then I’d expect her to come out and reject, repudiate and denounce the votes of the two-thirds of West Virginia. But of course we wont’ hear anything like that, instead we’ll have to endure another three weeks of torture as this nomination process slowly bleeds campaign money that could be going to the fight against McCain.
Wow…it makes you proud to be an American for the first time… right Michelle?

I was going to write something about West Virgina but thought better of it. I spend high school in and currently live in Maryland. I am not far from the West Virginia border.
Her talk at Shepard College was not all that well received, but sadly overall what I have seen of it - though the people can be lovely- is that It is horrifically racist state full of under, or uneducated people. Easy play dough for the Clinton’s.
Cooper - I was hesitant too, as I hate to necessarily call out the party I usually vote for. I just find it disturbing that she would actually find this sort of division and vote a “vote of confidence”. Luckily in Oregon she shows down 20 points to Obama. Next week it’s officially going to be over…ok I need a vacation because I’m getting delusional.
