Big Win For Hillary
While it may not matter that Senator Hillary Clinton won last night in West Virginia, the final result caused her to win a crushing 41 point victory over presumptive nominee Senator Barack Obama. That's pretty embarassing for Obama regardless of the fact that he didn't campaign there.

Pollspot: North Carolina
The latest Public Policy Polling survey in North Carolina shows Sen. Barack Obama barely edging Sen. Hillary Clinton, 44% to 43%. Clinton actually leads among Democrats in the poll, 44% to 43%. But Obama has the overall lead based on a very strong performance with unaffiliated voters, with whom he has a 53% to 35% advantage.
While they appear tied, I believe Obama still has the advantage there. Nonetheless, GO HILL!
