Hillary supporters will go for McCain...
my answer...
thats because w.virginia is for the most part old fashioned and still a racist state. I live in w. virginia and I was rooting for Obama because I liked him better and can not stand Hillary Clinton. Everything I have heard is that they were going to vote for Clinton because she is former prez Bill Clintons wife and they think that he left the country in pretty good shape. Well it wasnt in bad shape but he didnt really do anything important when he was in office. I think that Obama got slaughtered because more people in w.virginia were pulling for clinton i was driving down the road and every where i looked there was a sign about VOTE FOR CLINTON I seen two for Obama I am just praying that Clinton does not win the election
Easy, North Carolina has a larger population and more delegates something like 55 versus West Virginia's 11 delegates. He also won North Carolina like 58% to 42% so it was a huge victory for him and the win in North Carolina canceled out the gain that Hillary got in West Virginia.
I'm sorry but Obama got 8 delegates from WVa to Hillary's 20. He won NC by 15%, not by 3% and NC is a bigger state than WVa with more delegates. He got 17 more delegates than Hillary in NC and thus net 5 for Obama.
Is that not clear?
For accurate voting results see the NY Times Political online site.
Some people are playing games to keep the battle between the 2 going, instead of doing what an elected official should do & represent his boss, the people.
Zimmy, me neither. Particularly when Obama's camp was whining that the superdelegates should go with the will of the people.
