BREAKING POLITICS 5-13-08 CNN's Reed Dickens On Larry King Live! 11pm-W. Va Primary Recap
Monday, May 12, 2008 10:54pm

ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE From CNN (By: Tom Pace, Talk of the Town) BREAKING: PRESIDENTIAL RACE 12:45am 5-10-08 The West Virginia Democratic presidential primary is being held this Tuesday, May 13th...and Hillary Clinton is predicted to be the big winner. Meanwhile according to CNN, Obama leads Clinton in pledged delegates, and superdelegates.

Reed Dickens, former LSU-S grad, now political commentator for CNN, will join Larry King Live! at 11pm (cdst) Tuesday for an analysis of West Virginia primary results. Click here to listen to Dickens in a live interview with Tom Pace on his "Talk of the Town" radio show.

Despite calls from some for Hillary Clinton to abandon her presidential bid, her campaign chairman insisted Monday she will stay in the race until the last primary and predicted the New York Democrat will overtake Barack Obama in the popular vote.

“We are going through to June 3," Clinton Campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe said on MSNBC Monday. "I can unequivocally tell you we are in until June 3.”

“We will move ahead in the popular vote. There are 1.1 million Democrats in West Virginia, there are 1.6 million in Kentucky, 2.4 million in Puerto Rico. We win by these huge margins, have good turnout there, we will pick up a significant amount of the popular vote."

Polls show Clinton will likely score big wins in the next two primary states, West Virginia and Kentucky, though it remains virtually impossible for the New York senator to catch Obama in the pledged delegate count. She lost her lead among the party’s superdelegates on Monday.

Montana and South Dakota hold the last two primary contests on June 3.
