Voters in West Virginia are going to the polls today to take their turn in the presidential contest that just keeps on going.

West Virginians are excited: It’s the first time they have been in a position to impact the presidential race since 1960.

But for all their excitement and the opportunity to bully-pulpit the candidates on bulking up the WV economy, there isn’t any drama about what’s going to happen tonight.

As polls opened this morning, Hillary Clinton maintained a huge lead on Barack Obama, estimated to be anywhere from 15 to 43 points in recent surveys. Obama’s campaign admits he’s going to get hammered, but they are taking pains to demonstrate that they are concentrating on general election strategy and tonight’s results won’t matter much in the overall race for the Democratic nomination.

Expect lots of talk—ad nauseum—about Obama and white guys tonight. His surrogates will say he will win them over with his life story as they get to know him in the general election campaign; Clinton’s surrogates will say they know him well enough already to know they don’t like him.

Brazile - Begala, Round 2 ... eight hours and 40 minutes away.
