As expected, Clinton is romping in the West Virginia primary. According to the NYT: with 95% of the vote in, she's up 67% - 26% over Obama. One interesting nugget: John Edwards has 7% of the vote -- the best he's done since 5 Feb (the original Super Tuesday), when he was still in the race.*
I wonder if these 7% are against both a woman and a black candidate, or expressing fatigue with the endless campaign, or just wanted to register support for Edwards's anti-poverty message. I don't think it's a favorite son effect, since he didn't do anywhere near as well in North Carolina last week.
Correction added: Actually, Edwards dropped out of the race on 30 January, a few days before Super Tuesday.
