Windfall in West Virginia

Hillary Clinton garnered a resplendent victory in the West Virginia primary today. Despite her rather dismal performance in Indiana and North Carolina, Clinton handed Barack Obama perhaps his "worst defeat during the campaign." However, her attempt to impede Obama's claim to the Democratic throne was hardly felt.

Instead, Clinton garnered 15 of the 28 West Virginia delegates, "with 13 left to be allocated." Although Obama still retains a commanding lead, Clinton accentuated her appeal to blue-collar workers. This particular issue has plagued Obama's campaign since its initiation. Perhaps he will be able to remedy this persisting problem?

No pestilance, however enduring, will hinder Clinton. She will continue to carry on until a nominee is named.

Queen Elizabeth was acknowledged for her vacillation and perhaps Clinton will be known for her stalwart inability to admit defeat. It is odd, however, because Clinton's stoical adherence to her campaign seems conspicuously like vacillation? What do you think? Enjoy.
