Obama Expected To Lose Big In Today's West Virginia Primary
Although Barack Obama is now widely expected to be the Democratic nominee, the campaign is in for a bit of embarrassment tonight in what is likely to be a very bad showing in the West Virginia primary -- indeed, if the polls are accurate, he'll be lucky to get more than 30%:
Clinton 60%, Obama 24% (Suffolk, May 11)Clinton 66%, Obama 23% (ARG, May 9)
Clinton 56%, Obama 27% (Rasmussen, May 5)
Expect the Clinton campaign to use tonight's result as an argument against Obama's electability, and as evidence that Hillary can reach out to rural working-class voters where Obama can't.
The polls close at 7:30 p.m. ET.
