53% of people surveyed want the Democratic race to go on. Only about a third want the race to end. Not suprisingly 60% of Obama supporters want the race to end but only about 10% of Clinton supporters think the race should end. That is good news for Hillary since she needs to keep the fight going to at least May 31 when the Democrats meet to talk about seating Florida and Michigan.
West Virginia which some say showed America that a mostly Protestant state would elect a Catholic President in 1960 when they went for Kennedy in the primary will have their chance to elect a woman by a large margin as well. “I keep telling people, no Democrat has won the White House since 1916 without winning West Virginia,” she said at Tudor’s Biscuit World in Charleston.
Bill Clinton has been campaigning extensively in the state for his better half and is boasting that she could get 80% of the vote. If an avalanche of that proportion does happen you will be seeing the Super Delegates stop their March to Obama in a heartbeat. The state has gone Republican in the last two elections for Bush but did go Democratic twice for Bill Clinton in the 1992 and 1996.
