Wednesday 14 May 2008

Special Report The race to the White HouseWednesday 14 May 2008

In their projections, MSNBC and Fox said the former first lady had beaten her rival from Illinois by a margin of two to one in West Virginia. CNN said Clinton had won by a "wide margin."
The rural state was electing 28 Democratic delegates on a proportional basis, and even a big Clinton win would do little to dent Obama's growing lead in the broader race for the Democratic nomination.
