(CNN) - West Virginia is the next battleground in the Clinton-Obama battle.

In the latest episode of CNN=Politics Daily, Sen. Barack Obama all but concedes defeat in Tuesday's contest in West Virginia. But, on the same day, Obama takes the lead over Sen. Hillary Clinton in another metric — the support of superdelegates — in the race for the Democratic Party's nomination. Jessica Yellin reports from the campaign trail in West Virginia.

As Sen. Obama appears to be beginning his general election campaign in some ways, watch Chief National Correspondent John King explain Clinton's best argument for why she should face Sen. John McCain in the fall. King also takes a look at alternative scenarios in the Electoral College if Obama runs against McCain, the Republican Party's presumptive nominee.

As the Clinton-Obama race rages on, McCain continues to lay out a number of policy positions in battleground states. Dana Bash reports from Oregon where McCain rolled out his plan to combat global warming.

Another candidate announced his intention Monday to enter the presidential race. Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider takes a close look at how a possible run by former Republican Congressman Bob Barr might affect McCain.
