It would be one three stops Clinton would make in the Mountain State today.
"I don't know her personally, but I like everything she stands for," Victorson said.
Debbie will also vote for Clinton on Tuesday. Her reason for supporting Clinton is two-fold, she said.
"One thing is that she is married to Bill [Clinton] and she isn't Obama," she said.
"I think she will live very large here."
Still, Mort Victorson is hoping Clinton will survive until the general election in November.
"Hillary has her job cut out for her in the next few weeks," he said. "Unfortunately, if she does not get the nomination, McCain will carry the state in general election."
One woman in Tudor's this morning expressed her support for a different candidate. Doris Smith, 61, of Institute sat in a booth with her husband, Sterling, proudly wearing an Obama T-shirt.
"I just happened to be here," she said. "I am a supporter of his [Obama], but right now I'm concerned about who can be the strongest against McCain."
As far as Clinton goes, she would support her if she gets the Democratic nomination. Smith even got some face time with Clinton.
"I told her to stop the character assassination and start dealing with the issues," she said.
At West Side High School in Wyoming County, Clinton later spoke to a group of supporters including high school students and community members.
"We need a president that understand that rich people don't make America great. It is the hard-working people like those in West Virginia," she said.
Her mentions of her husband were frequent.
"I'm going to get back America back on track, the way my husband did," she said.
The crowd erupted in applause.
Savannah Morgan, 18, a senior at West Side High School, will be voting for the first time on Tuesday.
"I was really excited she came to our school," she said following Clinton's speech. "It was just fun."
Marilyn Toler, who works at West Side, was encouraged by Clinton's vision.
"Everything she said was wonderful," Toler said. "Hopefully, she will be the one to turn America around."
