As the flood of news articles about Tuesday's West Virginia primary start rolling in, it's hard not to notice the parade of rural "regular folks" that the press seem to continually encounter on the trail. Not only are they so polite, they're also so not-racist, as they continually remind reporters over and over again.

So why did Hillary win by such a large margin? We'll let the voters tell it themselves:  More ...

As expected, Hillary Clinton cleaned up in the West Virginia Democratic primary, beating Barack Obama by a 40-point margin.

But West Virginia is about 96 percent white, so how come Clinton didn't win by more? For some insight, we ran Clinton's victory speech through the 23/6 tag cloud generator to find out what she said, and what she really meant.  More ...

By now you've probably seen the clip of anchorwoman Sue Simmons, of WNBC-TV in New York, dropping the F-bomb during a live news promo. It's still not entirely clear what Ms. Simmons was referring to when she asked her now-infamous question, but we think we know.

Check out this exclusive unreleased footage from the WNBC news studio:

Hillary Clinton is being accused of playing the race card after she reportedly told reporters that Barack Obama would have trouble winning the support of "white Americans." Her statement might have been underhanded, but it can't be denied that anyone who wants to win this election is going to have to cater to the interests of the white American population. Which raises the question: Just what are the key issues facing white Americans today?  More ...

After the Democratic candidate Travis Childers beat the Republican Greg Davis for the open House seat in Mississippi to replace Republican Roger Wicker, GOP operatives were working overtime doing major damage control. Naturally, Tom Cole, the embattled chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, spun it this way:

Republicans must be prepared to campaign against Democrat [sic] challengers who are running as conservatives, even as they try to join a liberal Democrat [sic] majority.

How could things get worse for the National Republican Congressional Committee?

West Virginian Democrats headed to the polls Tuesday night, and as expected, they voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton, in part because of people like Sam Vetter, 64, who says, "Obama just doesn't sound right for an American president." An Obama supporter in Hardy County (97% white) explains the mentality of her neighbors:

They're convinced [Obama] is a Muslim, a terrorist, a guy who's coming to take away their guns.

But why read a bunch of shocking quotes cherry-picked by some liberal reporter when you can talk to a real West Virginia voter, live on IM?  More ...

"Valkyrie," the Tom Cruise movie we haven't been waiting for, is apparently being delayed until 2009. The film is about a man who tries to assassinate Hitler. Cruise plays the leader of the failed 1944 plot, Claus von Stauffenberg, which is strange, because that was always our nickname for Cruise.

According to an executive of a British movie chain, "there have been all sorts of problems" with the film. The executive didn't elaborate, but here's our best guess as to what's slowing down production:

PROBLEMS DELAYING "VALKYRIE":

Political insiders don't know what to make of Karl Rove's new job as a pundit on Fox News. "The Architect" who spent years hobbling Democratic candidates, can now be heard giving those same Democrats advice, like when he recently discussed what Barack Obama needs to do to lure Clinton supporters to his side.

But why suffer through Fox News to get Karl Rove's masterful tips? Talk to the guru himself via the Karl Rove Magic 8-Ball. Ask your question below.  More ...

The Democratic race for the nomination isn't over yet, and that means there's just a little bit of time left to enjoy Maureen Dowd's deliciously delightlful and insightful sing-song cheap shots analysis. Her latest column doesn't disappoint. For instance, did you know that Hillary stole stuff from the White House? Or, at least, there was once a rumor about that? Well, if you thought jokes about that were hilarious in 1998, you're gonna love this week's column.

Some of you, however, may have read so many Maureen Dowd columns that you can practically finish them yourself. She's just that good. Are you a Maureen reader? Test your MoDo skills with our Maureen Dowd quiz.  More ...

Like Japanese soldiers hiding in the jungle 40 years after the bombing of Hiroshima, Ron Paul supporters haven't heard that it's over. According to the LA Times, the "forces" of Ron Paul plan to disrupt the Republican National Convention in September. McCain is an unpopular choice for many conservatives; in fact, Paul got 16 percent of the vote in Pennsylvania's Republican primary, and 8 percent in Indiana's. According to one operative:

Paul...has instructed his followers that their struggle is not about a single election, but a long-term revolution for control of the Republican Party.

Sounds exciting. How can McCain operatives spot a Ron Paul supporter before he self-destructs? 23/6 has identified a few key traits.  More ...

Last night during a live on-air promo for WNBC News in New York, anchorwoman Sue Simmons interrupted the promo with an obscene outburst. Simmons apologized for the outburst, without offering any specific explanation. Which leaves us to wonder exactly what went down to cause this veteran news anchor to lose her sh*t like that?

Watch the video below and then take the poll. What the hell just got Sue Simmons so pissed off?

For one magical weekend, the world took a break from constantly reminding President Bush that he is awful at his job, and instead concentrated on his daughter's wedding. America was dazzled by the glamour, the romance, and the fact that Jenna had managed to make the news without being arrested for some sort of alcohol related offense.

To commemorate this joyous event, we've created a keepsake wedding album of some of our favorite pictures from Jenna's fairytale wedding in Crawford, Texas. What better way to describe a fairytale wedding than with an actual fairytale?  More ...
