To follow up on that last post, and for those who may not be avid Atrios readers, he’s obviously making a little dig at the Clinton campaign. They have repeatedly contended that Obama can’t win “the big states.” Yet the other day I heard Howard Wolfson say on NPR that the upcoming West Virginia primary is “crucial.” Crucial? Really? It’s interesting to note that West Virginia actually has more delegates than New Hampshire—39, versus 30. (If you want to get all technical about it, primary voters decide 28 of those delegates in West Virginia, versus 22 delegates in the New Hampshire primary.) Point being, gee, isn’t our election process weird?
