Clinton in W.Va. - Updated (further)

Update: Hillary Clinton bought her Democratic presidential campaign to Charleston for a Town Hall-style meeting, and then to Huntington for an event with veterans.

The Associated Press' Tom Breen covered both stops. MetroNews has highlights from Charleston (with audio and a photo gallery to boot), while the Herald-Dispatch does the same for Huntington.

Update II: Public Broadcasting has complete audio of the Capitol High event, plus audio of its report from there and from Huntington.

It also interviewed Clinton beforehand and offers audio, including a lengthy response to a question about mountaintop removal mining.

"I think it's a difficult questions because of the conflict between the economic and environmental trade-offs," Clinton says at one point.

Update III: The Charleston Gazette has video from Capitol High in addition to reports here and here. Others with video include WSAZ-TV and WCHS-TV.

WOWK-TV offers both a video report and a one-on-one interview with Clinton.

MetroNews Talkline host Hoppy Kercheval also interviewed the New York senator in advance of her trip (audio here).

The Herald-Dispatch set the stage for Clinton's appearance in Huntington, and for the slated West Virginia visit by rival Barack Obama the following day.

As for the Illinois senator, The Register-Herald has an advance piece for his Thursday scheduled stop in Beckley.

(And as the talk over Democratic delegates and superdelegates continues, The New York Times interviewed Gov. Joe Manchin for an article earlier in the week on the topic.

“Every day that this continues, people can surmise that this is going to the convention in Colorado and it could be decided by the superdelegates,” said Manchin, also quoted as head of the Democratic Governors Association. “There is not a superdelegate that I have spoken to who wants that to happen.”)
