Hillary Clinton clobbered Sen. Barack Obama in the West Virginia primary by 41 percentage points, her husband, former President Bill Clinton, came to the University of Montana in Missoula to make his case for her candidacy, despite what many political pundits and elected officials say is an insurmountable Obama lead in delegates, the popular vote and now superdelegates. Mr. Clinton likened Hillary's campaign to the 1995 University of Montana Grizzlies football team that came back in the fourth quarter against Marshall to win the Division I-AA national championship -- a game played in West Virginia. "No Democrat has one the White House without West Virginia since 1916," he said. That's the campaign's main argument at this stage in the game: that Hillary would be stronger than Obama versus the presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain in November in key swing states like Pennsylvania and Ohio. <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/newwest/topic/politics?a=MqVdGv"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/newwest/topic/politics?i=MqVdGv" border="0"></img></a></p> http://www.newwest.net/topic/article/in_missoula_bill_clinton_makes_a_case_for_hillary/C37/L37/
