The final results of the West Virginia Democratic Primary 67% to Obama’s 26%. A spread of 41 points the greatest winning margin since the primaries began.
I am writing this for Google 24 hours after the polls closed. Both cable television and the internet have long ago picked Barack Obama to actively campaign for and Hillary Clinton to actively campaign against, so the facts and the numbers of this, the biggest win so far in the primaries, has gone mostly unreported. What few headlines there are read something like Futile win for Clinton in W Virginia, or Obama Woes Floridians in Record Turnouts, or We All Hope Hillary Drops Dead.
So if no one else is posting these numbers which took me most of an hour to find through Google, I will just to see if anyone cares. I do admit that if I had gone to that special place six steps deep inside CNN I could have had them right away.
I must also say that so unlike cable news and media which has long ago thrown any concept of fairness to the wind, at least broadcast television tries to be fair and balanced regarding this election process.
If cable or the liberal blogoshere were one’s only source of information, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro would be IN FACT dirty fighting racist pigs. It’s truly amazing. But I suppose if one’s own ox is the beneficiary of whatever it may be, one would either take little notice or not give a rat’s ass. Human nature being what it is…
The big question is whether cable news and media will keep campaigning for Obama once they have thrown Hillary to the wolves.
And being a child of the Sixties I feel compelled to ask…
Is Obama bigger than Jesus?
