Clinton makes campaign stops in W.Va.

Mort Victorson, 84, of Charleston has voted in every election since he started voting at age 21. Today, Victorson, along with his wife, Debbie donned Sen. Hillary Clinton stickers during her stop at Tudor's Biscuit World on Washington Street in Charleston.

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.
