It's like arguing about what voters in Texas think.

I agree, Obama will make the right choice.
I'm a little curious if Hillary is pushing her surrogates to keep proposing her as VP, meanwhile she pretends herself that she's not interested.
If this a little ego game, where she wants to act as if "the people" are clammering for her as VP, while she would only "reluctantly" accept such an offer?

So Obama forced Hillary to make an offensive comment minimizing MLK's role in civil rights??
Just more "Obama forced the Clintons to make racial comments" bullshit.
Just like Bill had to make that Jesse Jackson comment with that shit-eating grin in SC, but it was OBama's fault.
Wow, this Obama is a wiley figure - he keeps forcing these savvy political masters to say stupid things!

"9. She is hoping that by staying in, he will be pushed to pick her as his VP."
He won't and nobody will push him. Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, heck, even Jimmy Carter are all against a joint ticket. HRC has worn out her welcome and burned too many bridges.
"10. She is staying to gather up support for a 2012 possible run."The irony here is that by hanging on now and forward, she's worsening her chances for 2012/16. If Obama loses she will bear some blame for dividing the party and lingering on to hurt the nominee. That will make a revenge push against her later all the more likely, as she will be a Nader-like figure who dashed Dem hopes in a good year for them. Her only hope for redemption is to help Obama win by campaigning for him hard, and then getting the gratitude vote next time.

Well if the people of WV are so non-racist, then I'm sure they will reject Hillary's race-baiting narratives about how "white people" vote for her.
If a politician made that claim about me, I'd be sure to vote against them. People who vote for such a race-baiter probably don't disagree or not enough.
So judge WV but what WV does.Hillary has provided the narrative. See if they go along.

This WV victory could assuage the bitterness of Hillary's supporters. One last victory lap, and then bow out gracefully. So I think it is not a bad thing.
