The Hillary Clinton machine rolled on in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, despite a rough night Tuesday for the New York senator in North Carolina and Indiana.

Clinton immediately hit on some bread-and-butter issues- a struggling economy and a gas price crisis.

"Right now people are really in pain over these gas prices, and there is no end in sight," bemoaned Clinton. "We've gone over $120 a barrel- we are literally over the barrel for the oil companies and the oil
countries."

At times you needed to make sure you were actually at a Clinton stump speech Wednesday, with all the Barack Obama posters floating around.

"There's very strong support for Senator Obama in Shepherdstown," observed Taylor Downs, a local student. "He emphasizes change, and it's something that I think we really need to look at at this point."

Hillary had her supporters too, who think the former first lady can still pull out the nomination.

"You know Hillary has proven all along that she has true grit, and I think she should stay in the race because I still think she has a shot in it," said Pat Donohue.

Joanne Drewry was a little more enthusiastic. "She's gonna take it [in West Virginia], and she's gonna go on and take the rest of them," declared Drewry.

The McCain supporters were also out in full force. Some came with an open mind, while others were just taking pleasure in the misfortune of the Democrats.

"I am technically a McCain supporter, but I'm here to see what Hillary's position is on everything," explained Jake Robinson.

Chip Leatherman expressed concern about the impact of Hillary's continuing campaign on the overall race.

"I think she is stalling the efforts of the Democrats," noted Leatherman bluntly. "There's two people fighting, and McCain is getting all this money and support and the Democrats are splitting the money between two people. They're hurting their chances very badly."

West Virginia's primary comes up next on May 13, with 28 delegates on the line.

The last two primaries- North Carolina and Indiana- were the biggest contests remaining in terms of delegates at stake.
