Is he or is he not "guaranteed" the nomination right now?

Oh stop playing your little word games. You know his status as well as I do.

But if you think those percentages would've changed much had he "officially" done it by the WV primary, you're smoking something.

Just applying your flawed logic elsewhere.

Republicans are going to be sorely disappointed in November. Particularly those like Myboynoah who think the Dems are throwing this thing away.

backers who say they won't vote for the other candidate? I'll take McCain's troubles over the Dems.

Heh, that's an even better point. Here's a few fun facts out of Kentucky for our not-so-guaranteed Obama:

If these are the only candidates on the ballot in November, for whom would you vote?
Obama: 50%
McCain: 32%
Stay home: 15%

No matter how you voted today, would you be satisfied with Obama:
Satisfied: 43%
Dissatisfied: 55%

No matter how you voted today, would you be:
Satisfied only if Hillary Clinton is the nominee: 48%
Satisfied only if Barack Obama is the nominee: 14%
Satisfied if either one is the nominee: 28%

LOL.

Even the Demo strategist thinks his comments were nonsense and not very helpful. Looks like the Dem are in self-destructive mode again.

Ah, so you are trying to compare Pennsylvania (which is and has been polling closer for Republicans and may be a swing state) to West Virginia (which isn't and won't be a Democratic state)? While it would be lovely for the Dems to take WV, they won't, so Obama's struggles there don't mean that much. McCain's struggles in PA mean much more, given that he needs PA. And it is a bad comparison because Obama isn't guaranteed the nomination (despite what you want to claim).

In other words, you are simply awful at comparative analysis.

Pennsylvania hasn't voted Republican in 20 years. WV is as good an example as any to show how ridiculous your initial post in this thread was.
