West Virginia Primary. Hillary v Obama:Expect the Unexpected

Have_a_nice_mcgovern_bumpstickUpdate: Poll released May 10th, shows Hillary Clinton with 43% lead! (I may be very very wrong on this posting)

    The West Virginia Primary is only 4 days away, and yet, it has fallen off the radar screen.
    It appears, the pundits will wait until Monday night to give their strong views of a State, which many inside the "beltway" are afraid to venture.
    Although, Hillary Clinton, is supposed to do well on Tuesday, May 13, any single digit loss or narrow victory, over Barack Obama, may dampen her campaign, so much, that she will limp into Oregon and Kentucky on May 20th.

    When I worked in Washington D.C., during the 1970s, I made some great friends from W. VA.

     I have no doubt they are Obama supporters, of the senior variety, now.

    My deduction today, without seeing any polls, is that Senator Obama may pull an Indiana, and come very close to Senator Clinton.

    During the late 1960s and early 1970s, I was invited to "come down to the farm," in West Virgina, by the young farmers.

    I was stunned to see that they weren't growing much eatables...but most of the people had a great time!

    One beautiful woman, who had lived in a small coal mining town, asked me, " do you want to come down to the farm and drop some acid?"

    I said no, because I was a Vietnam Veteran, and had enough nightmares to realize, if I did anything like that, they would have probably found me, hanging upside down on the "Spirit of St.Louis," in the Air and Space Museum.

    As a result I never saw her again.

    What has this to do with the primary in West Virginia in 2008? --- Stereotypes are almost always wrong, and expect the unexpected during this election on May 13th.
