Hillary Clinton released another memo in an attempt to divide America across color lines. It states, "Given the attempts by our opponent and some in the media to declare this race over, any significant increase in voter turnout, coupled with a decisive Clinton victory, would send a strong message that Democrats remain excited and energized by Hillary's candidacy," the memo says.
AAPP: Code Words, white voters will vote for me vs Obama.There is more: "In the face of grim poll numbers, the Obama campaign has attempted to dismiss today's outcome despite the fact that Sen. Obama has outspent us on advertising, has more staff in the state, and more than double the number of offices. He has also benefited from the support of the most high-profile endorsers in West Virginia-Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Congressman Nick Rahall. By every measure, the Obama campaign has waged an aggressive campaign in the Mountain State."
Below is the full memo...

Re: Why West Virginia Matters
With a record turnout expected in today's primary, West Virginia Democrats will make clear who they believe is the strongest candidate to take on Sen. McCain in the Fall.
The Mountain State is used to picking winners. Every nominee has carried the state's primary since 1976, and no Democrat has won the White House without winning West Virginia since 1916.
Democrats carried West Virginia in 1992 and 1996, but lost the state-and the White House--in 2000 and 2004. Hillary has predicted victory against Sen. McCain in West Virginia based on the strength of her economic message. Given the attempts by our opponent and some in the media to declare this race over, any significant increase in voter turnout, coupled with a decisive Clinton victory, would send a strong message that Democrats remain excited and energized by Hillary's candidacy.
In the face of grim poll numbers, the Obama campaign has attempted to dismiss today's outcome despite the fact that Sen. Obama has outspent us on advertising, has more staff in the state, and more than double the number of offices.
He has also benefited from the support of the most high-profile endorsers in West Virginia-Sen. Jay Rockefeller and Congressman Nick Rahall. By every measure, the Obama campaign has waged an aggressive campaign in the Mountain State.
Despite being the so-called "presumptive nominee" and benefiting from these advantages, Sen. Obama has been unable to close a significant gap in the polls.
Sen. Clinton has already won Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Michigan. With a win in West Virginia, Sen. Clinton will have once again proven her greater ability to win in the key swing states.
AAPP: Whatever Hillary! Does anybody really care?

when Barack Obama won in the swing state of Missouri, did no one bother to mention that no Democrat has EVER won the White House without winning Missouri?
I remember when Hillary started her campaign and she had blacks tucked firmly in her pocket she had the pistol aimed at men for being sexist now blacks are in her scope. Minorities need to vote Republican and teach them a lesson. Minorities have been getting the shaft since this county started we can and will make it through any climate. I'm getting the indication that the middle class whites can't maintain their financial privliges and politcal advantages much longer under Republicans rule. Why bail them out! If they screw Obama we as minorities (aka the silent majority). Need to shift our vote to the republicans and they will win. They will destroy the white middle class then we can rise out of the ashes with our numbers and elect who ever we want easily and take all the power from these racist and force them to deal with us on a equal plain.
Tonight on MSNBC, one of the talking heads brought up a recent poll that has both Obama and Clinton losing equally with white working class voters.
So her point is really moot!
