Why is Sen. Obama ignoring West Virginia? I know that he is behind in the polls there but He has enough money to have really campaigned there. Is he afraid that he can not convince rural America that he is a good candidate? I have problems with his lack of fight in states where he really can not depend on the over 90% Black vote to win or at least keep things close. After seeing his actions here I really question why he took his name off the ballot in Michigan. Was it premeditated knowing that he would loose there anyway and make himself look weak? He still has issues I would like him to clarify?

Ignoring voters

By Lifetime Democrat May 13th 2008 at 1:50 am EDT

Obama has ignored millions of voters all over the US. He tried very hard NOT to get MIchigan and Florida counted, yet now he's playing the old game of politics & kissing @ss in Florida to try to win votes. He's realized that he's not going to win, just on the black vote, he needs us.

My opinion, too little too late. You can't disenfranchaize people and then expect them to vote for you....Dawhhhhh

Hmmm

Maybe because they proudly keep re-electing Senator Robert Byrd ?

ROFLMAO

Well, it doesn't fly over my head and regardless of his age, Byrd is a good Senator.

November is going to be an eye opener for you, I think. When McCain takes the White House.

West Virginia was not ignored

We have been campaigning and running ads all over the airways and Papers. He made personal appearances where it would do the most good to secure the nomination. We have been running a good campaign from day one. After tomorrow, 3 weeks left.

He gets very somber and unhappy looking when he is in a state that he is behind...
Pretty sad state of affairs for running for CIC..
Makes him look like if everything doesn;t go my way I will pick up my marbles and play elsewhere and that is a weak attitude for a pres....
