Love the music
Love this comment by Halperin:
Number of convincing explanations the Obama campaign has given for why he won't be competitive with Clinton in West Virginia: 0
Great point KV. Given that he's planning his victory party on May 20th, you'd think he would be the one on the high-end of the vote count.
Great diary Tex - higly REC'd!
Wow - just checked out the video. I know I'm gonna sould less than kewl here, but I've always loved John Denver & his music. And some of those pictures look just like the country roads of Michigan that I grew up on. Dirt roads in the sticks and boy do those pics bring back memories!
That song was one of the first I ever leanred to play on my guitar too. Thanks for adding that to your post Tex - beautiful!
funny, I used to play it on the piano...
Heh, maybe we could play a duet for Hillary at one of her inaugural balls next January :)
It will have to be a trio--I used to play it on the guitar too :-)
Well, we can all get together on this one! I taught my oldest (the one in the military) to sing the melody while I sang harmony on this. We played and played John Denver on our many camping trips.W got a CD of john Denver for our family trip to Yellowstone in 06 and started teaching the grandkids!
Thanks for a great diary- every American should be heard and counted!
The people of West Virginia are smart.
Absolutely!
If he knew that he would have gone! That is a Demographic he wins!
Number of convincing explanations the Hillary campaign has given for squandering a triple-digit superdelegate lead, a 20 point advantage in national tracking polls, and going nearly $20 million into debt: 0
No. of Democrats Who Want Clinton to Stay in the Race: 64%

I saw that, awesome!
I sure hope she stays in! She's going to crush Obama in WV and Kentucky. As it has been noted many many times, it isn't in the dems best interest to have a nominee that loses to someone who already has bowed out in two states.
Let's reconvene after all the states have been counted in June and see where we're at. In the meantime, let's hope our candidates don't get too negative on each other, huh? After that, it's on to the White House!
Maybe Hillary should have thought about that when she bowed out of VA, MN, WI, ID, NE, KS, etc.
Whole lot of cherry-picking going on...
Try Obama 266 Clinton 259. There -- real data.
Teresa, if you honestly believe that the myDD aggregate of states reflects reality in November...well, I know you're much smarter than that. We can all go find numerous reasons Barack/Hillary can win in November and Hillary/Barack can't, but what it comes down to is that if we as democrats make an actual comparison of Barack/Hillary and John McCain, we're going to win in a landslide.
Keep repping your candidate in the intellectually honest way you're capable of. Rise above what you perceive to be the dishonesty and cruelty of Obama supporters and give us an example of something to strive for.
Thanks Hampster.
Don't tell anyone but many moons ago I listened to a lot of John Denver
