What does Hillary's victory in West Virginia mean? Apparently nothing.

Hours after being routed by Hillary Rodham Clinton in West Virginia, Barack Obama picked up two more superdelegates, offering fresh recognition from Democratic leaders of his inevitable nomination.

An embattled Clinton is urging party leaders to take a hard look at West Virginia, which she won with 67 percent of the vote. But her victory did little if anything to knock Obama off stride as he approaches the delegate totals needed to give him the presidential nomination.

Hillary can try to embarrass Barack while also embarrassing her self all the way to the convention if she so chooses, but we already know who the nominee is going to be.

I still find it fascinating that Hillary continues to trumpet the fact that the more uneducated, rural folks make up her base. I would hate to achieve victory by manipulating the ignorant, unsophisticated voters to turn on my opponent and vote for me due to my use of disinformation and by appealing to their deeply held prejudices.

But hey that is just me.
