[Rasmussen]
In a new poll published yesterday by pollster Rasmussen, Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama in the West Virginia primary race by a staggering 29 points.
As we posted here, on March 13, 2008 Rasmussen showed a 28 point West Virginia lead in Clinton’s favor, CLINTON 55%, OBAMA 27%.
We pointed out in the same post that “Obama could have considerably narrowed that TWENTY EIGHT PERCENT gap by now”, but that “[i]f history is any guide, that is unlikely.”
All of this is meaningless if Obama can pull off double wins in Indiana and North Carolina tomorrow, in which event Clinton is finished.
However, we are standing by our predictions of a narrow Clinton victory in North Carolina and a 10 point win in Indiana.

WRONG!
HERE IS THE QUOTE FROM THE POLSTER HIMSELF:
"Monday, May 05, 2008
"When the voting is finished in Indiana and North Carolina, the Democratic Primary competition will move to West Virginia on May 13. That’s a competition Hillary Clinton will be looking forward to with eager anticipation.
"The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the race shows that Clinton attracts 56% of the Likely Democratic Primary Voters while Obama is supported by 27%. Seventeen percent (17%) are not sure.
"Those results are virtually identical to an earlier election poll conducted in mid-March."
