West Virginia and the Fallout

Well folks. I meant to post this yesterday morning, but glad I didn't as a result of what happened in the afternoon.

First, Hillary picked up another 20 delegates from the great state of West Virginia. Congrats to that and the one SuperD she got yesterday. But the bad news cam in the fact that Sen. Obama picked up three SuperD's as well as an endorsement from John Edwards. If Edwards delegates sway to Obama, than we are right back to zero as his 19 delegates cancel out Hillary's gain from her victory.

She vows to fight on, which actually is a good thing for the GOP as the Democrats can't move on in full until she decides to drop out. And with her moving on, she has decided to still fight it out until the bitter end despite her being behind roughly 160 delegates.

It's a long shot, but there may be a solution for her to win it all prior to the Convention. the answer is Michigan and Florida. Their delegates must be represented and in my view if not it is a violation of a whole bunch of voting and civil rights acts from the 1960's. So that is where I think it'll play out in the end and if she wins on that argument she wins the nod.

Either way, the Dem's should lose the fight as McCain is more likeable in general and has more experience.

There is addition fallout as we lost another GOP fight to a Dem in Mississippi for a House seat. that total now stands at 236-199 and with the coming election we could lose alot more than that. Let's just hope for the better everyone and do our best to support the ones we really want in office at all levels.
