#2 Final vote totals (per NYT): Hillary! -- 239,062 (67.0%) Obama! -- 91,652 (25.7%) The guy with nice hair -- 26,076 (7.3%) I believe the technical political term for this is "a West Virginia ass-whoopin'" No way Hillary doesn't stay in through the convention. |

#1 Jim Geraghty at National Review, posted at 11:21 PM:The bad news for Obama fans: Their guy, at this hour, is on course to lose West Virginia by about 39, maybe 40 percent. She's going to shave at least 100,000 votes off his popular vote margin; she'll be able to argue that she's the popular vote winner if you count Michigan and Florida. So far, he has not won a single county in West Virginia. He's above 40 percent in one county at this hour. |
