Obama concedes West Virginia

The New York Times reported Senator Obama’s basic acknowledgment of his loss tomorrow in WV.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Senator Barack Obama acknowledged in a speech on Monday that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton would probably win Tuesday’s Democratic primary in West Virginia as both candidates traveled the state to make last-minute appeals to voters.

“I am extraordinarily honored that some of you will support me,” Mr. Obama told a crowd at the Charleston Civic Center. “And I understand that many more here in West Virginia will probably support Senator Clinton.”

This is a prudent move coming from the Obama campaign, knowing that they will no doubt loose with a wide margin, expected by some analysts to break 30%.
