WV primary coverage?

Am I the only one who thinks that the Turks should cover all the remaining primaries?

I love seeing Ben and Michael and Cenk together in one spot and lets face it WV could be a really big deal.

Some of the west appalachia counties so far have gone 2-1 or 3-1 for Clinton.

If Clinton wins WV by 50% then she could succesfully spin that as, "I am the white candidate, you need me to win".

Then there is the popular vote issue.

She could still win it, if turnout was high enough, and she got 70+% of the vote in KY and WV.

Lets not forget PR has over 2 million registered Dems.

Large enough blowouts in PR, KY and WV could give her the barest lead in pop vote, even without FL or MI and that might prolong this primary fight for a month or two by slowing the rate at which Obama gets super delegates.


Though Obama is now only 155 total delegates away from 2025, so even blowouts in those 3 states would probably not give Hillary the nomination, but it could definetely give her reason to stay in longer.

I don't see the point... (none / 0)
....of covering WV.  But I hope they cover KY/OR the next week.  I think Obama could win huge in OR and that should do it.  I could see Hillary finally conceding the next day.  I think she's looking for the soft landing right now.  Winning WV, KY and losing OR would be the perfect departing point if she wants to look strong but also regain some of the respect she has lost within party ranks.

It's another day in paradise...

Yes, frustrating... (none / 0)

I keep hoping they will cover Oregon's mail-in campaign.

Not just because it is where Obama will declare his "win," but I like the idea of the Turks being on the air for 5 days straight!
