West Virginia primary today (Campaign 2008)

West Virginia primary today

I'm sure it's exciting in West Virginia today. But that state's primary has an anticlimactic feel to it after Sen. Barack Obama strengthened his hold on the Democratic nomination with a win in North Carolina and a narrow loss in Indiana last week.

Since then, there have been calls for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to get out of the race as more superdelegates go to Obama's camp.

Clinton is expected to win today, but only 28 delegates are at stake in a proportional distribution .

Next up are the Oregon and Kentucky primaries on May 20.

Clinton is favored to win Kentucky, while the polls show Obama leading in Oregon.

It sounds like Clinton will stay in the race, which is entering its final weeks.
