So, Hillary had a "big win" last night in West Virginia. She beat Obama, as expected, 67% to 26%.
Let's take a stroll through the other big wins this primary season shall we.
Races Obama won by 60% or more:
Mississippi
Maryland
Illinois
Georgia
the District of Columbia
Virginia
Races Clinton won by 60% or more:
West Virginia
Arkansas
Total net delegates gained by Clinton in her huge win in WV last night: 10
Delegate lead for Barak Obama this morning (CNN): 165
So, I guess all Hillary needs now is 17 more West Virginias, or for more than 77% of the 214 remaining super delegates to move to her camp (or some combination thereof).
In other words...
Nothing to see here.
Move along.

What about Kansas. He kicked her $%^& there.
Very True anon, I was just looking at the primaries, not the caucuses.
Add in the caucuses and you also get Barak over 60% in Kansas, Washington, Nebraska, Minnesota, North Dakota and Colorado.
No need to pile on though, is there?
LOL
I'm glad to see that at least one person in this world doesn't answer to a producer who wants to make Hillary's "thrilling comeback" a national headline when it isn't. All West Virginia proved is that we are accurately predicting her path to ultimately comming up short. Thank you.
It's blogs like this that make it near impossible for Clinon Supporters to vote for Obama without holding their nose. It's not Obama that makes us sick, its his supporters! Not a lick of respect and totally self-indulged!
I find it appalling that HRC supporters refuse to educate themselves on their candidate. You are letting the media dictate your opinion on Obama and Hillary and McCain. I am not going to Bash any candidate because none of them are perfect. However, stop playing to the media, For years the education system has told lies to us and we new that there had to be more than the history that was being taught, so we went out and search for ourselves to find the truth. Do the same thing before you vote read, research and educate yourself and I believe a lot of you will stop this garbage.
I'm not sure why my blog would make Hillary supporters sick anon, but OK. It's hardly disrespectful to state the FACTS is it? In fact, as the first anon points out, I even spun the facts in Hillary's favour. I had her winning 2 contests by more than 60% to Obama's 6, when it SHOULD be her 2 60+ wins to Obama's 12. I ignored all of the caucuses Clinton got slaughtered in and I'm not being respectful enough of her???
Now, I suppose I got a bit chippy by bolding her "huge" win, but c'mon. WV is playing all over the media like the beginning of some kind of comeback. Like being behind by 165 delegates is some huge surge ahead from being behind by 175 delegates. That she was toast yesterday because she needed 81% of the super delegates, but now she's gonna win because she only needs 77% of the supers.
C'mon.
If a win like the win Clinton had last night was so earth changing, wouldn't the race have ended long ago? Like after any one of the 12 contests Obama won by more than 60%?
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has cancelled a visit to the UK to return to Afghanistan, after Tuesday's deadly attacks in the capital, Kabul, and in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif.
The twin attacks apparently targeting Shia Muslims killed at least 58 people.
A suicide bomb struck a Kabul shrine, killing at least 54, while the other blast struck near a Shia mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif at about the same time.
The attacks seemed to be sectarian, raising fears of new violence.
Mr Karzai was in Germany on Tuesday evening after attending the international conference on his country in Bonn, and was later due to travel to the UK for talks with UK Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday.
