Obama will be tho nominee because the majority of the American people have said that's what they want. All of you who support Hillary, God Bless you. But, don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Vote for Obama and the world will stand with us. I travel for my job and the WORLD is excited about Obama. Everywhere I go people come up to me and ask me if I've seen him or if I've met him. It's incredible! Be a part of history - be on the winning side. Make your vote count today! vote for Obama. God Bless him as he takes on this important job. And God Bless Hillary as she comes to grip with losing her chance at it - this time around.

You want to know what is really sad? It's sad to think that thousands of us will rush to the polls tomorrow and vote, and for what??? Our votes don't count.. It's the super delegates that get to decide. It's sad!!!! The democratic party will elect Obama, and we the american people will sit back and let it happen. Come on people... What do we really know about Obama??? Before this whole election started, where was he? How come we never heard of him till about a year ago? It scares the hell out of me that we are going to trust our futures to someone who we know nothing about...Would you marry someone you knew nothing about?? Because for the next four years that is what we are going to be.. married to someone we don't know... Atleast with Hillary or McCain they have been in the spot light for years, and we know a little more about them. Wise up America.!! You are all making a huge mistake!!!!!
Posted by: Janette on May 12, 2008 at 12:04 PM
It's a fact we have had and continue having some real life criminals running this state. Let's don't get another one of their puppets running the country. Say no to Obama he is bought and paid for.

Obama will win, with or without your votes. You racist people are insignificant, and i am embarrassed to be from WV, because the country is judging us based on what you hillbillies are saying. Get a CLUE. This is 2008!!!!

When I say wrest I mean movement and overall appearance of such. A limp wrest is a weak physique and looks like a nerd... You know it's a fact just look.. If you put Obama out in the street with Hillary she would mop up the place with him.. Bill could referee and laugh his a double s off..

You have some wild imagination! I bet you sleep with a bible on your night stand next to your bed and a gun in one of the drawers or maybe behind each of the doors in your house. You probably get your news every Sunday at church instead of watching "Meet the Press" or "The Situation Room" or some other form of political new source. You probably haven't traveled much in your life either. I bet you don't leave much of a tip when you go out to eat and i bet you don't even tip your newspaper delivery guy or mail carrier. Its ok that you are bitter. We all are after that 7 year run with the Bush administration. But don't you worry. Help is on the way in the form of a tall biracial American with roots in Kansas and Africa (which are not in the middle east)and goes by the name of Barack Obama.
Posted by: Rick on May 11, 2008 at 02:23 PM
First of all, I don't think we (USA) are as progressive as we'd like everyone to think we are. That said, our next president will be John McCain. Perhaps by 2020 things will change. Personally, I don't particularly care for either Democratic candidate, and the only way I would vote for either one is if he/she were running against the "Don of the Marion County Mafia"-Joe Manchin.
Posted by: Nadine on May 11, 2008 at 11:59 AM
Though I am angered by some of the comments on here, I am comforted by the fact that no matter what ignorance is written on here, Obama will still win the Primary. OBAMA '08 !!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous that posted to Murdoch: check out the Rev.'s comments in context and not just choice sound bites. He suggested the U.S. govt may have intentionally infected individuals with AIDS. Not so drastic a thought since the govt has admitted infecting blacks with disease at Tuskegee last century. Anyone who thinks the U.S. hasn't infuriated Muslims by stationing our troops on their holy land is sadly mistaken. The Rev. was speaking about those in the U.S. who have a feeling of superiority over every other nation. You can feel that you are better, but I can't see feeling that you have the right to impose your will and beliefs on the rest of the world. We're heading down the same path as another once great nation. Ever heard of Rome? Et tu Brute?

Go Obama, I enjoyed confidence and politeness of Obama accompany with high leadership and good judgment skills which makes he my most wanted candidate that can bring change and prosperity to USA. Clinton proofed that has weakness in judgment and wants to fight with everybody , fighting will not deliver solution and makes more enemy and it is exactly the reason she could not do universal health plan when she was first lady. in opposite Obama is a unifier and leader that can bring us together and make things I am sick of hearing Wright, Rezko, Ayers, “bittergate” and flag-pin in your media, you want to hear answer to your legitimate questions and doubt about Obama, here is your answer: First of all your questions are not legitimate but dumb, hated, devious and distorted and unfair... - These people are free and liable for their actions, and they are not Obama's liability when he disassociate himself and disagree with them.

Is he still coming to HHS? Is he even coming to Huntington? Did you guys screw up again and go w/ something unconfirmed with a unnamed source? Shame on you WSAZ. The question is will you admit your mistake? My guess is no b/c you still have falsehood on your Web site pretending that it is an actual news story instead of the gossip and rumor that it is? WSAZ your local gossip/rumor leader.

Who are some of these ignorant people posting comments on here? This Murdoch character is really getting on my nerves with this loving Obama stuff, if you love him so much DOCH then start you a little island up by Cuba and you can be Obama's vice dictator and you two can have your own private little cult and call it the Obama Bama alfa lamda of Northern Iraq! As far as all of us Americans we want a sane honest leader that we are not going to get in any of these running so all we can do is are best! That doesn't include voting for a black man just to prove we are not racist! My "Father" is black and agrees with me that Obama is not ready to run this country so we are not going to go vote for him just to prove we respect blacks! If you can't understand that sir then you should not even be voting," that goes for you all" Trust me the more you learn of any the canidates running you won't want to vote! But Hillary is the best option cause she has the best chance to beat Mcstain,I mean mccain

Stop hiding behind your anonymity and using it as a duck blind behind which you can shelter as you take cheap pot-shots. The church you refer to is a black Trinitarian Chruch and as such relies heavily on the Bible as a source of inspiration, and the Bible's Old Testament is a translation from the Hebrew. I'm not sure what kool aids you are referring to, I assume you are just repeating a phrase from the internet, unless you are referring to LSD. At any rate attacking others or trying to use the old guilt by association argument is not particularly effective. This goes for all the needless references to hayseeds, billies and bumpkins as well. Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their party and vote Obama. Chris Brown

I am not racist I just dont believe someone with a chip on their shoulder should be president of the United States. I think we live in the greatest country on earth and am not ashamed of the country or want it changed. Too many weak people in this country that want the government to take care of them....

Posted by: Brian on May 10, 2008 at 07:59 PM
I sincerely hope that a worthy Democrat (Hillary) gets the nomination. I can't stand the thought of voting for McCain, but that's the next best option. BTW, not only older, blue collar people are enamored with Hillary. Our household income was six figures last year, we're both thirty and have college degrees. It's logical and rational to go for the candidate who has the proven track record and has been through the ringer and continues to persevere. It pains me to see how simple young Democrats are in choosing to vote for someone who has a year or two in the Senate and the only noteworthy thing he has done is give speeches. I think Ebola, errr, Obama is a tremendous disaster waiting to be inflicted on our already injured country. The only thing that can be said about the nerdy looking and sounding Obama is that he has style. Please. I hope his wife now has something to be proud of in America, but sorry that WV is going to let her down -- soundly!
Posted by: Tom on May 10, 2008 at 07:11 PM
Whats Obama ever done on the state of Ill. or national level? whats so great about someone who talks a lot? anyone can do what he does. Here are some facts. someone with experience would never let someone let Rev. Wright do what he is doing. A real political person would have distance himself from him while he was running for the US Senate. and not now. He is making major mistakes for someone who is supposed to lead the free world. Everyone does make mistakes but remember I want someone who learns from them and has made them while gaining experience unlike Obama.
Posted by: Manny on May 10, 2008 at 07:04 PM
Hillary lent her campaign $11.4M???? And she calls Obama elite!!!!!!!!!!!!! If she can't get elected by the people, I guess trying to buy her way in is the next best thing!
Posted by: Tim on May 10, 2008 at 06:25 PM
Well I think that if Obama gets the nomination then the people of America have a hundred percent chance of keeping a Republican in the White House. Obama is a con-man pure and simple he is a closet republican and will be directed by the republican party pure and simple. I am a pure lifelong democrat but will vote for McCain because between him or Obama I think that he is the more qualified republican for the job. The party would lose if they had to go up against Clinton but not Obama. He does not have the experience to be an effective president and I just hope that the democratic party realizes this by the 2012 election after the wrong candidate gets the nomination (not because of his race but because of his weak policies and the fact that after all of his speeches I still have no idea of just how he plans on paying for any of his plans for America).
Posted by: Dave on May 10, 2008 at 12:37 PM
Well WV better get with the program because Obama will be the next President... He will put together a cabinet and a tream that we have not seem in a long time and will transform Washington...even the republican pundits when all is said and done will find it hard to say anything bad about him but that he is a liberal....so if he doesn't come to WV we complain...now that he is coming we tell him not to come....grow up and open your ears..American is changing for the better....
Posted by: Murdoch on May 10, 2008 at 12:36 PM
I don't understand those who think that Obama is unpatriotic. Why would someone place himself on a national stage, publicize his present and past private life, and expose himself to personal attacks if he didn't love America? I guess it's more important to wear a flag pin or put one of those "Support our Troops" magnets on your car. Yea, that's it, but where are Hillary and John McCain's flag pins then? By the way, the rumors of Obama being a Muslim or not wanting to say the pledge of allegiance have been proven false some time ago, so educate yourselves people. Unfortunately, some will not want to be educated because the facts might conflict with their altered view of reality. Please, for the sake of all that's good in America, open your eyes and stop the stupidity and bigotry.

God I can't stand these racist comments. Is West Virginia considered the most racist state in America? I hate to see the world see us that way.
Posted by: lovin' obama on May 10, 2008 at 12:09 PM
wow redneck, ignorant, close-minded hillbillies of west virginia never cease to amaze me.. Do you really think Obama is un-American? i mean really, in order to be a true American, you have to wear a freaking flag pin?? are you kidding me?? Open your mind up and learn a thing or two about the man. Obama is not a muslim, his dad was raised that way, and his dad no longer practices. Obama has been a Christian his whole life. But what does that have to do with him becoming President? I'm actually kind of embarrassed for him to come here, because he'll see what kind of ignorance resides here. I dont know what that person is talking about when they said he will not recite the pledge? are you serious?? Unfortunately, you've been sucked into the nonsense that spews out of FOX news. Do us all a favor, turn off Fox news and any of their affiliates, and go read his book and see exactly what he's about.
Posted by: KJ on May 10, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Obama has my Vote! I haven't seen Clinton wearing a Flagpin yet! It is time for this country to let go of their prejudice. It makes us look so out of date. Aren't we better than this, yet?
Posted by: Michael on May 10, 2008 at 11:45 AM
Of course Obama cant bowl...He was busy getting a degree from Harvard...instead of hanging out at bowling alleys. He is very intelligent and worked his way up from very humble beginnings.America will regain all the respect it lost during the Bush years when he is elected. GO Obama!!
Posted by: LaDonna on May 10, 2008 at 11:38 AM
I hope my fellow West Virginians will take a very good look at this election and realize Barack Obama is our best choice for a presidential candidate. Let's do for him what we did for JFK and get in the news in a positive manner. Our country needs new leadership and the Clintons have had their turn and are too similiar to Bush and McCain. A gas tax holiday? Give me a break! Hillary, I'm not college educated, but I know you have tried to fool us by promising something you KNEW you couldn't deliver. Same old politics from you. No thanks, I'm not buying. I'm with Obama and so is most of the country. Come on West Virginia, back a winner.

Having lived in Huntington a few years back in the 60s, I remember it as a bit old fashioned and even segregated in those days, but not as "red-neck". I'm sure Huntingtonians will welcome Obama whether they choose to vote for him or not. Voting for Clinton, by the way, is flogging a dead horse, you may just as well wait for McCain to come around again. You don't have to take my word for it, since you have internet you can look at up delegate count yourselves. Yours truly (and I still remember Byrd), C. Brown, Hamburg
Posted by: Obama 08 on May 10, 2008 at 11:25 AM
Once a Muslim? When? Unless I missed it while skimming Obama's two books and sundry interviews, the senator has never mentioned being a Muslim at any point in his life. Yes, he lived in a Muslim country during part of his childhood and briefly attended a Muslim school there, but he certainly wasn't raised a Muslim and has never been, so far as I can determine, a practitioner of that faith. That anyone, let alone a sitting U.S. senator with designs on the highest office in the land, would conceal being a Muslim for twenty-odd years while going through the outward motions of practicing Christianity (or vice-versa, for that matter) is a truly bizarre accusation. I would be tempted to dismiss it as paranoid lunacy if it weren't so obviously a crass, politically-motivated smear.
Posted by: Zach on May 10, 2008 at 11:25 AM
Though Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was raised a Muslim, he had lost his faith and become a "confirmed atheist" by the time he attended college, according to his son. Obama's parents separated when Barack was two, his father moving not to Jakarta, but to the United States, where he attended Harvard. Eventually he returned to Kenya. When Obama's mother remarried, it was indeed to an Indonesian man named Lolo Soetoro, whom his stepson describes as a "non-practicing" Muslim. There is nothing on record to indicate Obama attended a madrassa (Muslim religious school) run by Wahabbists, and in any case it's unlikely his mother would have chosen to expose him to such an extreme form of Islam given her stated abhorrence of religious closed-mindedness and her stated goal of giving him a well-rounded education, including in matters of faith.

According to Ann Garside, director of communication for the Maryland Historical Society, home of the original manuscript of The Star-Spangled Banner modern custom does not require a hand over the heart. Whether you put your hand over your heart, hold your hat at shoulder or waist level is really in this day and age irrelevant as long as you show respect through your demeanor. It's funny that those who received a negative Obama e-mail or have heard rumors always incorrectly state that he won't say the Pledge of Allegiance. Others mention him turning his back on the flag, but if you look at the photo and read the circumstances it was the National Anthem. Hillary, Obama, etc. are all facing the flag. There also happens to be a large flag behind them as well. Funny that his dissenters fail to investigate the rhetoric they spew forth.
Posted by: Kathy on May 10, 2008 at 11:12 AM
I will NEVER vote for Obama no matter how many times he comes to WV to ask for votes. I will vote for McCain. He's the best one for the job after Clinton. Obama is full of promises and hot air with no substance to back up his bluster. He's made quite clear what he really thinks of hard working down to earth American's who aren't worth millions like he is. Stay home Obama and save some gas!
Posted by: To: To Jennifer on May 10, 2008 at 11:05 AM
Than what does he believe in? All of you people need to stop getting your news from the chain e-mails you get. Try doing some research before you open your big mouths and give WV a worse name than we already have. OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!

You folks should see the WV jokes being posted on "national" boards. Sad part is WV knows better - and yet they will without doubt vote for Hillary Clinton even though she has lost.
Posted by: Sara on May 10, 2008 at 10:44 AM
Barack (Who's Sane) Obama is not a muslim, but if he was so what? What Rev. Wrights' church preaches Islam? Remember the big stink about him attending that church for 20 yrs? Oh what, he did that AND went to Mosque? Puh-leeze! People want to find a reason, any reason, not to vote for him when the real reason is because he's black. (oh how we forget his mom is white and he was raised by white grandparents...but some people can't get back the brown skin- LOL). And the picture showing him w/out his hand across his chest was not during the pledge, but rather the Star Spangled Banner. Please do research b4 u spew hatred/incorrect info. Maybe the people of WV would prefer McSame or the HillBill(ies)...no pun intended! Vote 4 Change...or try to keep things the same...the world is movin' on, with or without you!!
Posted by: bigben on May 10, 2008 at 10:36 AM
WV send obama a message. don't for the man that thinks America is 48 states. He wants them to count now only after he is ahead. BTW why does he say uh so much?
Posted by: Fred on May 10, 2008 at 10:28 AM
All of you who say Obama turns his back on the Pledge are TOO LAZY to actually research chain e-mails sent to you. Get a clue.

I wish all these rednecks would stop insulting Obama. In fact, they should just stop talking about things they know nothing about.

Barack Hussein Obama will not recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level- through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!!

To Old Bigin - this is what is wrong with WV. You are so redneck, close minded, racist s.o.b. Obama has more of a head on his shoulders than anyone else who is running and I'm sure he's got alot more sense than you do. He's the only one who ideas and plans make sense. Hillary's gas holiday is joke. She just wants to be president so she can put the cap on her political career.

haha Old Bigin you sound like such an intelligent person. So George Bush acts like and looks like president material? There's no doubt in my mind that you voted for that imbecile. Obama will get the nomination and he will bring this country out of debt and get us back to where we were in the 90's before Bush ruined everything. Instead of being close-minded, why don't you inform yourself about Barack Obama.

So in order to be president you have to be old and decrepid?

He shouldn't waste his time comming here to WV. He don't fit in here anyways. He would be out of place here in southern WV and couldn't relate to most of the people here. When he points that long skinny finger with that limp wrest that will do it for him here.. He just don't look or act like president material.. An accountant, insurance salesman maybe but not president.
