Hillary Clinton resoundingly beat Barack Obama by more than 2-1 in yesterday's West Virginia primary, and though the race did little to change the delegate math or Obama's momentum toward the Democratic presidential nomination, it did serve to bolster Clinton's resolve to stay in the race, according to a report in USA Today.

""There are some who have wanted to cut this race short," Clinton told raucous, cheering supporters in Charleston, but she left no doubt she plans to stay in the race through the final contests.

"I am more determined than ever to carry on this campaign until everyone has had a chance to make their voices heard," she said, calling herself a stronger candidate in a general election and a better-prepared president."
