I'm using ABC for West Virginia.

If someone knows a better site, please illuminate.

ABC's results for the Republican primary in West Virginia in February apparently weren't updated.

So maybe I'm at a lemon of a site.

I am scanning foxnews, abcnews, and cnn. everyone is at zero. on the GOP side, . . .

the cable news networks are desperately trying to keep the horse race aspect of the story alive, but their
hearts aren't really in it. fox broke from live coverage to put their ratings champ, bill o'reilly, his timeslot
back.

From somebody's blog:

Quote

7:37 pm ET: A thought on what Clinton could use right now: A handful of superdelegate endorsements to roll out -- to show, not say, that people are having second thoughts about Obama. She wouldn't need that many -- maybe three or four, with nice statements saying, we need the strongest Democrat possible to take on John McCain.

Oh Hell.

Nebraska, where the polls don't even close for another hour yet, will probably be 100% in before West Virginia's in at all.

I am watching obama surrogate bob casey peddling "hope and change" despite the 2-to-1 blowout tonight. that's gotta be hard.

Wretched Excess · « **Reply #32 on:** May 13, 2008, 07:13:48 PM »

o'reilly is still sort of covering the primary, but in his own bizarre way. that's all a business decision by fox news channel based on his ratings; they didn't want to preempt him.

the rest of the MSM really is trying to keep this story alive.

John Edwards is still on the ballot in West Virginia.

I wonder how much he'll pull in.

the good hair vote in WV shouldn't be more than 1 or 2%.

What's up with West Virginia?

The polls have been closed for nearly an hour now.

West Virginia and Nebraska have approximately the same population (and 5 electoral votes each).

By an hour after the polls close here, pretty much all reports are in; 98% or 99% or something.

We don't even have 1% from West Virginia yet.

Quote

Clinton 1,314 58% 0 Winner
Obama 753 34% 0

that's on abcnews.com and cnn.com, Frank.

Those numbers have to be trucked over mountains in West Virginia. It slows them down.

You know, Edwards won 13% in West Virginia in 2004, the Bostonian Billionaire 69%.

Edwards might match his 2004 numbers.
