Clinton Wins Big In West Virgina

As expected.

Hey folks,

"I am more determined than ever to carry on this campaign," Clinton told supporters in Charleston, West Virginia.

"I am in this race because I believe I am the strongest candidate. I can lead this party to victory in the general election if you lead me to victory now."

West Virginia
Clinton (W) 67%
Obama 26%

»100% of precincts reporting

This really is no surprise. Neither is the fact that she is not going anywhere. However, even in the light of this big win, look for the "Clinton Push Out" to continue. Not only continue, but to intensify.

Clinton won 20 of the 28 delegates at stake in West Virginia. That left Obama with 1,883.5 delegates, to 1,717 for Clinton, out of 2,026 needed to clinch the nomination at the party convention in Denver this summer. With the Superdelegates appearing to line up behind Obama, it seems that he WILL get the count BEFORE the Convention. That is what they are hoping for. The DNC does NOT want to give the appearance of "giving" the nomination to either.

"This race isn't over yet." Clinton said.

It isn't over by a long shot. May the infighting continue.
