After West Virginia the media will turn on Barack again

Edited on Thu May-08-08 08:26 AM by my3boyz

they will say, "Why did the nominee lose a swing state by so many points?" Then they will ask, "Is he electable?" over and over again. This will go on for an additional week until Oregon votes........

1. I'm not so sure.

Especially if he can narrow the gap at all.

Obama is the presumptive Nominee, now.

5. HIs being the "presumptive" nominee makes it worse

If the presumptive nominee gets thumped in a state like WV, the only possible media narrative is that WV "rejects" or "repudiates" the presumptive nominee. This will be a sign that even though the grand poobahs of the press (who speak for no one other than themselves) have declared this thing over, real voters refused to acknowledge that.

Won't be a good week for Obama.

2. Don't forget, "Why can't Obama get the white, working class vote?"

You know, REAL AMERICANS, not like those black and college-educated voters.

4. Kerry won w/o HRC's disaffected low information voters. He has ADDED many AF Ams and young

people into the process, couple that with Republicans who have joined our party and I believe we do not have to stoop low in attempt to lure some who have racist tendencies (still believe Sen Obama is a covert Muslim. ) These voters won't support Sen Obama regardless.

3. Who cares?

Actually the media has been saying that Clinton will win WV and KY. They are not even pretending that Obama has a chance in these states. Who cares what the likes of Tweety thinks? He cannot stabilize his mood for five minutes.

7. And that will last one week.

He'll win in Oregon on May 20 and have the majority of the elected delegates. The focus will return to Clinton and why she is so hell bent on destroying the Democratic Party.
