As Expected, Clinton Wins West Virginia Primary, Says She’s ‘More Determined Than Ever’

Black political observers said Tuesday that despite Hillary Clinton’s convincing but largely symbolic victory in the West Virginia primary, Barack Obama is still on track to become the nation’s first African-American Democratic presidential nominee.

"Barack Obama’s decision to move on to the general election is his signal that the nomination is his, and it's time to move on without saying it," Peter C. Groff, a Colorado state senator, publisher of Blackpolicy.org and executive director of the Center for African-American Policy at the University of Denver, told BlackAmericaWeb.com Tuesday.

"It is a great political move and allows the party to advance, but also allows Hillary Clinton to phase out her effort," Groff said. "The move also allows him to test fall themes and messages before the American people tune in."
