West Virginia has gone to Clinton by 40+ points (90% reporting).  The voters of Mingo County, one of the most Democratic parts of the state in the southwest, gave Clinton her most lopsided advantage, an 80-point margin, 88-8%.  Between Clinton’s voters and die-hard Edwards supporters, almost three-quarters of the primary electorate voted for someone other than the presumptive nominee.  Clinton has gained approximately 140,000 in the popular vote tally.  The Clintonite slogan beginning tonight: “key swing states.”  The Democratic race has already ended, and yet it will never end.
