Hillary figured to win West Virginia big and she held up her part of the bargain. She trounced Barack Obama by a 67% to 26% margin in the West Virginia state primary held yesterday.
Barack Obama did his best to stay out of the limelight by not even being in West Virginia last night. His internal polling numbers probably warned him of the inpending crushing defeat. He was in actually campaigning in Missouri of all places yesterday.
Hillary Clinton had a huge victory party last night in Charlestown, West Virginia. She reiterated the fact that no Democrat has won the White House without capturing West Virginia since 1916. She can also add to that fact that no Democrat has won the Presidency without winning Kentucky in 48 years. She currently leads Obama by 25 points with the Democratic primary being next Tuesday.
Hillary won the white vote convincingly in the state capturing almost 70% of that vote. The numbers were even more lopsided on her behalf among white voters who did not have a college education where she won by 50 points and by lower income white voters where she also won by 50 points.
