With Hillary Clinton and the former president each campaigning in West Virginia today, The Associated Press' Tom Breen sketches an overview of the primary election terrain.
"Obama's strengths are among black voters and college-educated voters, but only 3.3 percent of West Virginians are black and only 16. 5 percent of residents have bachelor's degrees," the article said. "For Clinton, the state is nearly ideal: She has consistently outperformed Obama among white, older and blue-collar voters in competitive primaries."
Breen will be tracking Bill Clinton and his barnstorming tour through the state. AP will also be on hand for Hillary Clinton's rally at the state Capitol.
Others setting the stage for the day's events include The Charleston Gazette, The Intelligencer of Wheeling and WSAZ-TV (with video).
Update: AP reports from Hillary Clinton's Capitol rally. So does the Charleston Daily Mail, which also hosts photos. MetroNews has audio. WSAZ-TV has video.

"For Clinton, the state is nearly ideal: She has consistently outperformed Obama among white, older and blue-collar voters in competitive primaries."
Should read: Most West Virginians don't really like blacks, especially snotty elitists like Obama, and would rather vote for a woman before they voted for one.
Here's a newsflash for all Democrats in West Virginia: both Obama and Clinton would take your guns away. They don't care that you use them only to hunt deer or turkey, they'd still take them away from you.
Good luck.
