The primary season goes on

May 14th, 2008 | By Brian Leon | Category: USA Elections 2008

Hillary Clinton won the primary in West Virginia and by virtue of that , she has earned the right to continue on to the remaining primaries. Listening to her various spokespeople who were all over the cable channels with nary an Obama spokesperson to be seen, this victory is supposed to presage a major change in fortune for her. I doubt it as this was a small state that she won bit but in the long run it will not matter too much as the only metric that matters is delegates and from the primary she will only perhaps 12 in the end which could be easily made up by Barack Obama with more super delegate announcements this week.

So onward we trudge towards Oregon and Kentucky next week which by all accounts will result in a tie between the two but more importantly, Clinton will not advance any further in the delegates.
