But she won WEST VIRGINIA - who cares about Obama's lead?
Who cares about the fact that Obama has won more states, has the lead in the popular vote, and now has more superdelegates? Hillary won WEST VIRGINIA! This alone proves that she should be our nominee!

Seriously - is this the rationale she's clinging to now? I'm not dismissing the state (unlike how Hillary supporters seem to dismiss Obama's wins), but it's only one state out of 50! When I saw her proudly boasting about her huge win in West Virginia, how that proved that she should be the nominee, and that superdelegates should start flocking over to her side, it was almost pathetic, very Gollum-esque.

2. In the nicest way I can put it...
She's desperate, and some (not I didn't say all) of her supporters are fine with blowing off all the voters in all the states - just to have the Supers overturn them.

3. Isn't that a very low turnout for a state ??
Back when I was in politics and running against a Republican in a very red congressional District, I got the same percentage as Obama did last night with 60,000 votes. It seems like a very low turnout to me. But it was a primary?
