Clinton Rips Obama in West Virginia Primary 67% - 26% … Is Obama Really a Viable Candidate?
Published 5/14/2008 by Scared Monkeys at Scared Monkeys
OUCH!!! Hillary Clinton Routs Obama, 67% to 26%. And the winner of last nights Democratic Primary in West Virginia was … John McCain.  A little fact for Democrats and Super Delegates to ponder … a Democrat has not won the White House since 1916 if they did not win West Virginia.

John McCain Needs to Stop Being Funny [Saturday Night Live]

Rover found this 5/14/2008 on gawker.com
