Subject: RE: BS: How is West Virginia doing in elect.?
I see that according to the morning papers, the Obama campaign strategy for West Virginia is to completely ignore it, as if no primary took place.

That should cheer everyone up.

The fingers in their ears, screaming "lalalalalalalal" strategy.

That'll capture the White House in November fer sure, especially when you add in the fact they are using the same strategy in Florida and Michigan.

Ignore the white working class voters (which no Democratic president has ever won without, I might add), and hope they'll go away strategy.

You combine that with Obama's shitty record on immigration and his being in the pockets of the energy conglomerates, and McCain already looks like the more liberal and moderate of the two.

I dunno. This bloc of voters has never been predictably Democratic since Ronnie Ray Guns shot his way into town. When Dean came in as party leader, he said his main priority was to woo them back to the party fold.

How ya gonna do that with Obama and his huge negatives (Wright, his shenanigans w/the Canadians over NAFTA, etc) with white working class voters, whose loyalty can't be assumed?

I mean, it's pretty damn arrogant of the Obama campaign to say they won't bother with WV in the fall either, and that they are already counting on the Clinton supporters to vote for him instead of McCain in the fall.

This campaign is starting to look more like the same old arrogant Democrat crap people hate the Democrats for all the time.
