Certainly tonight is a somewhat embarrassing evening for Barack Obama. The presumptive Democratic nominee is down about 40pts right now in West Virginia with 95% of precincts reporting. I was scrolling through the county-by-county results and Mingo County caught my eye. Mingo is a medium-sized county in SW West Virginia on the Kentucky border. Hillary won the county with 88% of the vote with Obama garnering a minuscule 8% of the vote. As far as I can tell this is the single worst performance by either Democrat in any American county so far in the primary cycle.
Obama managed to garner 8%, 14%, and 22% of the vote in the three West Virginia counties that border Kentucky, which holds its primary one week from today. Certainly these results do not bode well for Obama; Clinton will rack up another huge win next week. What does it say when the presumptive Democratic nominee gets absolutely blasted twice in 7 days?
