Dark lining to Hillary's silver cloud

By RobertoW - May 14, 2008, 12:44PM

Two facts about yesterday's election should take the wind out of Hillary's already slashed and tattered sails. First, John Edwards, who isn't even running, received 7% of the vote - this isn't a good sign that she'd even have a chance to carry WV, not with McCain running 12 points ahead of her there already.

The turnout, too, has to hurt - just "normal". The massive surge of mountaineers Bill had been asking for never materialized in a state tailor-made for the Clintons.

There is a great column on Huff Post today by R. J. Eskow called "Even The Racists Are Deserting Hillary":

"when it comes to a avidly racist percentage of white working Americans she's right. But the problem is, a lot of those voters probably won't vote for a woman either. In fact, it could be the only way they'll vote for a woman is if her opponent's black (and she's not).
They're so reluctant, in fact, that 7% of the voters in West Virginia voted for John Edwards, who isn't even in the race. That fact is nothing short of stunning. Faced with a black man and a white woman, these voters chose a white man who isn't running. And these are Democrats. Among Southern whites, this makes them the Left."

Anxious to take the wind out of Hillary's sails? Feeling the need to vent? Does she still bother you? Pity.
