McCain’s Campaign

Hillary Clinton won in a romp in West Virginia, and says she will go on. Barack Obama’s camp points to the Democratic primary numbers and says he’s got it sewn up.

Meanwhile, John McCain just keeps campaigning.

Nationally, Republicans face some daunting realities and poll numbers heading toward November. But few deny John McCain’s got a real shot at the White House. While the Democrats battle, he’s hammering on issues and honing strategy.

This hour, On Point: We’ll hear about Clinton’s West Virginia victory, and catch up with the campaign of John McCain.

-Tom Ashbrook

Guests:

Anne Kornblut, national political correspondent for The Washington Post.

Jill Zuckman, national political correspondent for The Chicago Tribune.

Tony Fabrizio, Republican pollster and strategist.

Jack Beatty, On Point news analyst and senior editor at The Atlantic Monthly.
