On the campaign trail, Senator Hillary Clinton has scored a widely expected victory over Barack Obama in West Virginia’s Democratic primary. Clinton won with 67 percent of the vote to Obama’s 26 percent. But the results will have almost no effect on Obama’s delegate lead. Despite the numbers, Clinton told supporters in West Virginia the win bolsters her fight for the nomination.

Sen. Hillary Clinton: “So this race isn’t over yet. Neither of us has the total delegates it takes to win. And both Senator Obama and I believe that the delegates from Florida and Michigan should be seated. That is why I am carrying on, and if you give me a chance, Democrats, I’ll come back to West Virginia in the general election, and we’ll win this state, and we’ll win the White House.”

Obama, meanwhile, was in Missouri, where he continued to focus his remarks on Republican candidate John McCain.

Sen. Barack Obama: “The Bush-Cheney ticket won’t be up for reelection, but Bush-Cheney policies will, because John McCain has decided that he is running for George Bush’s third term in office. That’s what his campaign has been about, to offer the American people four more years of the same approach that has failed the American people over the last eight years.”
