The WV primary is meaningless drivel, and so is all the commentary on it.

Until President Obama starts marshalling progressives in Congress next year to start fixing the impoverishment (both economic impoverishment and educational impoverishment) of the people of Appalachia -- people who have been largely ignored by Democratic and Republican presidents since the death of Bobby Kennedy -- we are all wasting our time talking about West Virginia.

The most important election of the day is the special election in Mississippi's first district, where Travis Childers is about to win! He'll be the first Democrat to take that seat in decades, and I didn't hear one person on Air America talking about this today!!

What a waste of air time.

if he ever gets back up off the mat.
You have to keep your knee on his windpipe
until the danger is past." -- Garry Trudeau
