Please, no more "Country Roads" references...

Ok, West Virginia is the site of a primary today. Sen. Clinton will win it by a very large margin, and I am so looking forward to the ensuing discussion of What It All Means.

Look, Clinton clearly wrote some states off, and Obama is writing this one off. So the big win will not mean much. It won't make a big dent in the delegate lead and probably not in the popular vote totals.

Some are talking about the possibility of racism hurting Obama in states like West Virginia. I suppose it's possible that in the fall election this could shave a couple of points off of Obama's totals in some states. But I just don't think it's going to have a big impact overall. Time will tell.

Prediction: Clinton 60, Obama 40.
