It’s just after 8pm ET and all of the news networks and that Associated Press are calling the West Virginia Primaries for Senator Hillary Clinton, who is reportedly beating Senator Barack Obama 2:1 based on exit polling. We’ll have final numbers here, including how the 28 elected delegates split up, when they are available.
On the GOP side, results are still pending as 27 delegates are up for grabs (in addition to the 18 delegates won by Mike Huckabee at the February 5 Republican Caucuses) in the race already presumptively won by John McCain, despite Ron Paul still officially a candidate.
UPDATE (5/14): With 100% of precincts reporting, here are the final numbers, according to CBSNews.com…
