Country Roads Take Clinton Home in Democratic Race

Clinton supporters are singing along with John Denver’s YouTube rendition of “Country Roads” today as they await results from the WV primary where Hillary is expected to win big.

The Political Bulletin (US News &World Report) suggests:

‘“The West Virginia contest, along with next week's primary in Kentucky, could throw a bit of cold water on Obama's campaign. The Politico reports that the current ‘high spirits’ in Obama's campaign "could be tempered in coming weeks when West Virginia and Kentucky voters render their verdict on the Democratic race," and they could "further underline Obama's lackluster support in Appalachia, a region that is ground zero for the sort of populist Reagan Democrats both parties will covet in the fall.”’

Also cited in the Political Bulletin’s Campaign News:

‘“ABC/WPost Poll: 64% Of Democrats Want Clinton To Remain In Race ABC World News reported, "As Hillary Clinton's money and superdelegates have slipped away, there's been talk that she should get out of the race. Most Democrats, however, don't think so. A new ABC News/Washington Post poll finds 64% say she should stay in the race. And 56% say the protracted race will make no difference to the Party in November.”’
