If you missed Jon Stewart’s report on the West Virginia primary elections, you should watch it. Not only is it hilarious, but it hits squarely at the truth — why W.V. voted the way it did and media coverage of the event.
The media says the voters are racist, but they never use the word. [...]
There will be more spin coming out of the Hillary campaign today than ever before. Hillary trounced Obama in one state and she’ll now consider herself part of the Deity. It’s important to take Hillary’s win last night and put in perspective.
Hillary has won two states by 60 percent or more – West Virginia and [...]
In his harangue with Chris Matthews tonight, Terry McAulliff said:
"Never before in the history of this great party, when it’s been this close, have we asked for a potential candidate, a potential nominee, to get out of the race."
You know, I bet Terry is right (except for the "close" lie). Candidates don’t normally have to [...]
Hillary told a few lies in her speech tonight, like "the number of delegates needed to win is 2,209," but this statement definitely surpasses that.
So as we look at the stakes in this election, I think we can all agree it’s been unprecedented. We haven’t had an election like it for as long as anyone [...]
Hillary tonight — You can take the White House away from me when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
If you voted for Barack Obama in an election before tonight, your vote does not count according to Clinton and Terry McAuliffe. McAuliffe admitted on MSNBC tonight they cannot get within 100 delegates of [...]
Olbermann: "Terry McAuliffe said it would be the greatest speech of all time. And there it was, tied with the Sermon on the Mount."
All the nets have called West Virginia for Hillary.
Also, if you’re not in close proximity to a teevee, run, don’t walk, run and turn it on! History will be made tonight!! Terry McAuliffe said Hillary Clinton would deliver the best speech ever tonight.

Never mind the 7.8 magnitude earthquake in China that has killed more than 8,500 people. Obama is wearing a flag pin in his lapel today.
Barack Obama, who labeled discussion of whether he wears a flag pin in his lapel a false issue in a debate with Hillary Clinton, was wearing one Monday as he campaigned [...]
Hillary actually said this in a Grafton, W.V. stump speech: "It’s not over until the lady in the pantsuit says it is."
(Updated below)
The Los Angeles Times illustrates today how much the people of West Virginia oppose, to put it mildly, Barack Obama. Hatred of blacks existed in West Virginia long before Barack Obama came into the picture and no one could reasonably argue that many of these bigots would ever vote for any African-American running for [...]
