That year was the last time that a Democrat was elected president without winning the state of West Virginia in the general election.
Food for thought as we digest the results of today's primary.

Cornel, did the sitting president at the time have a 28% approval rating?

Re: 1916
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 1:40 PMUm, a lot of people are quite rude around here, WAY in excess of "get bent." Cornel looks to be singled out for ably defending an unpopular opinion. -

Re: 1916
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 2:12 PMHuh? Cornel has a habit of unwarranted vitriol, I noticed he was doing a better job and pointed that out.....so he told me to get bent. It has nothing to do with his opinion, I disagree with Ron but he never talks to me in a vitriolic manner. -

Try actually besting him in argument and see how he acts. *har*
Again, all Cornel does is ably defend the indefensible and he gets treated to uncalled-for and embarrassing viciousness. This tribe could use a couple more Rightists who stand the gaff as well!
I thought he'd left because of it and I'm glad to see him back. -

Take another look at the language used and then tell me who was viscious. -

Re: vitriol
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 4:58 PMI've looked at it for weeks and am frankly sick of it. In fairness, Jeff, I can imagine how sick *Democrats* must be!
Actually, Corny's made several valuable points about Hillary and made me examine a few of my own assumptions. -
-
Re: vitriol
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 5:19 PMWell if you have only looked at it for the past few weeks that would explain it. Asshole, fuck off etc. was common for Cornel until Inna set him straight. People are more likely to look at a persons valid points if they leave that sort of personal denigration for disagreeing with them out of the picture. Now that Cornel has toned down, people are going to be more likely to pay attention. Cornel taking a different tone is my point after all..... so lets just accept that and leave it be. There is no reason to stir up more shit. -

Re: vitriol
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 7:45 PMRumors that Cornel has toned down are greatly exaggerated. And those who spread such rumors are shit eating parasites. -

It has been since that date that we have elected a white male as our president. Therefor it is a statistical fact a woman can never in the future win the presidency.
Food for though.
