Hillary wins big in West VA!

It's the evening of May 14 and 100% of precincts have reported their data. The final results of the West Virginia primary show that Hillary has a 41 point lead on Obama according to CNN! I predicted a big win, but a 41 point lead! Wow! Now, she needs to focus really hard on Oregon. I am currently predicting an Obama victory, quite an upset of my original prediction, by a very narrow margin. If Hillary can close that gap by doing some heavy campaigning, she might be able to pull off a slim victory in Oregon too. It would really help, of course, if Barack sticks his foot in is mouth between now and May 20.

That's the good news. Unfortunately, I also have some bad news. Despite a clear victory in WV, Hillary seems to be hemorrhaging superdelegates by the barrel. According to an article on the Yahoo News site, the shift in lead to Barack occurred over the weekend. I am hoping that there is a shift back to Hillary by the end of next weekend given the big win in WV.

If by some minute chance someone in Hillary's inner circle is reading this, please get her on a plane to Oregon tomorrow! She needs the victory in WV to be very fresh in people's minds so that she can keep her momentum and, with some hope and a few prayers, achieve a slim victory in Oregon. Please, no mishaps this time! Stick to the issues and let Barack dig his own grave!
