West Virginia's primary elections will take place Tuesday, and new polls are showing that the state favors Clinton by a huge margin. According to the survey, which was released by the American Research Group on Friday, West Virginians favor Clinton by a 43-point margin, 66 percent to 23 percent.
Obama himself acknowledges that Clinton is probably going to win this state. But what does this mean for Obama? Even if he wins the nomination, Clinton's large support in this state could prove a problem for his campaign against McCain.
A big win by Clinton in West Virginia will send a loud and clear message that many Democrats in the state are not ready to jump on the Obama bandwagon.
Defeating McCain in West Virginia could prove to be a huge problem for the Obama campaign, unless Clinton is involved too.
If Clinton wins big in West Virginia, but Obama wins the nomination in the end, he will undoubtedly think long and hard about asking her to share the ticket in order to defeat McCain.
