Clinton celebrates Mother’s Day in next primary state
GRAFTON, West Virginia (CNN) – While opponents Barack Obama and John McCain took Mother’s Day off, Hillary Clinton hit the trail in rainy West Virginia with daughter Chelsea. They celebrated the holiday with a morning church service in Huntington before flying east to visit the home of Mother’s Day's founder – Anna Jarvis – and to give a speech commemorating the day.
“Judging from the mothers that I meet across the country, I’ve come to believe that hard work, determination and resiliency are encoded in our DNA,” Clinton told a small gathering at a railroad museum. “We also have the stand-up-and-fight-for-what-you-believe-in gene.”
Sunday marked Grafton’s 100th celebration of the holiday and despite Clinton’s tribute to mothers and women in general, Tuesday’s primary and her struggle to stay in the race were not forgotten.
“In two days, the voters in West Virginia will join the tens of millions of Americans who have already cast their vote for president,” said Clinton. “I am asking for your support so that I can continue to fight for you, fight to finish the work that we have started.”
Clinton read her supporters several emails she has received in recent days, encouraging her to say in the race. One read, “It’s not over until the lady in the pantsuit says it is!”
On Saturday, Clinton told donors at a Mother’s Day-themed fundraiser in New York, “Let’s keep going, stay with me, this is a great adventure!”
Clinton will continue to campaign in West Virginia on Monday and Tuesday and is expected to win the state handedly.

Stay in Hillary. You're the best candidate in the race. Obama has no chance of beating McCain. First Tony Rezko, then Reverend Wright, then Wiliam Ayers. Who knows what skeleton will come out of Obama's closet next.
Hope you had a wonderfull Mothers Day Hillary! Please do not be offended I use your first name but I feel that I know you personally! Please continue to fight for the nomination till the end! My husband and I pray for you every night. I am sorry but if you loose we will NOT be voting for Obama ( unless you are on the ticket). We will go to vote but for President it will be BLANK..Since we are in our 70 s' we probably will not be around for the next Presidential Election ! God Help This Great Country!

Mrs Clinton,
If you had run a more decent and graceful campaign, your motherhood and womanly and human claims would have had more credibility.
I am sure you have disappointed a lot of mothers and women and humans, including me.
"despite Clinton’s tribute to mothers and women in general, Tuesday’s primary and her struggle to stay in the race were not forgotten."
Surely not forgotten by Clinton. But judging by the lack of comments, it seems that enthusiasm for the Clinton campaign is slowly dying as all but the diehards are embracing the inevitable.
Maybe she should have spent Mother's Day with her mother.......
Stop the spinning, lady. You are not a hardworking mother. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and married a guy, who has supported you all your life. And lately, you've been pimping your daughter to the highest bettor. Shut up and go back to your million dollar mansion in NY and leave us our mortals alone.
