Did Obama “Diss” Hillary After The West Virginia Primary?
FOX News reported:
Hillary Clinton has beaten Barack Obama by a decisive margin in the West Virginia Democratic primary, FOX News projects.
Exit polls indicate that Clinton is winning by roughly 2-to-1. She is capturing almost every demographic group, doing particularly well among the large group of white, working-class voters in the state.
West Virginia offers just 28 pledged delegates, and so Clinton’s victory Tuesday, which was widely expected, can have little impact of the overall trajectory of the race. Obama, leading Clinton by a wide margin in total delegates overall, has already started turning his campaign toward the general election.
But the win prolongs the race and fuels Clinton’s argument that she is able to carry groups that will be important to Democrats in November.
“I don’t see the inevitable,” Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe told FOX News Tuesday afternoon. “Why is it … that she can have a double-digit lead here (in West Virginia)? … She’s winning a lot of these big states … in our mind we’re going on right to the end, we’re gonna be the nominee.”
