“Hillary Rodham Clinton routed Barack Obama in the West Virginia primary Tuesday, scoring one of her most lopsided victories of the long campaign, even as she continued to battle overwhelming odds in her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. Clinton’s easy victory in a state that has slipped away from Democrats in the past two elections added fresh ammunition to her claim that she is better positioned than Obama to capture critical swing states in November. But the primary win may have come too late to have a significant impact on the trajectory of a nomination battle, in which Obama has an almost insurmountable lead in delegates. … Clinton claimed victory shortly after the polls closed Tuesday night. Saying the nomination battle ‘isn’t over yet,’ she told cheering supporters in Charleston that ‘I am more determined than ever to carry on this campaign until everyone has had a chance to make their voices heard.’” (05/13/08) Link: http://www.denverpost.com/nationalpolitics/ci_9250929 Filed under: RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
