Hillary Clinton is poised for another big win today, this time in West Virginia.
Another big state, another key area Democrats will have to win in November to capture the White House, and it’s Clinton, not front-runner Barack Obama, who is likely to be in the winner’s circle tonight.
Not that it matters much.
Clinton’s once seemingly inevitable march to the Democratic nomination seems to be derailed.
She trails in the popular vote. She trails in delegates. And now she is losing her grasp on the one advantage she held, with the superdelegates, where support is slowly but surely moving toward Obama.
So tonight she will step to a microphone and exclaim, “Thank you, West Virginia.”
It will stand as more evidence for her supporters’ key argument, that she, not Obama, is winning the big states and poses a much stronger alternative to Republican likely nominee Sen. John McCain.
Even as the calls continue for her to get out of the race.
Go figure.
