- Playing out the string: Chuck Todd has it right when he says, "Perhaps the best way to think of today’s West Virginia primary is like the final football game of the regular season, which really won’t impact the teams headed to the playoffs."
- Clinton backers raise the bar, predicting an 80-20 margin or even 90-10. So...anything less is a disappointment, or what?
- Over the past week, Obama has gained nearly enough superdelegates to nearly equal the number of delegates at stake in West Virginia.
- McCain's recent speech on climate change (Monday in Oregon) was well-received but his proposals are pretty flaccid. His cap-and-trade specs are weaker than Obama/Clinton and even weaker than Lieberman/Warner. Then there's the historical fact that candidate Bush proposed limiting CO2 emissions in 2000 then dropped it as soon as he got elected.
- Is it only a matter of time before the Republicans Photoshop Barack Obama and disgraced and indicted Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick into a negative YouTube video -- whether he's still a superdelegate or not?
- And last but not least, our buddy Renee is freaking out with only four days to go before she hauls herself and her entire family to France and Finland for six weeks. If you've got any suggestions for "how to pack light," head over and leave a comment. She's open to just about any idea you've got.
Dear WVa:
We don't care what you think.
