Hillary Clinton is expected to win easily over Barack Obama in the West Virginia primary, but his overall lead is now practically unsurpassable.

That has some people wondering if the two rivals can fit together on one ticket.

A steady stream of voters cast their ballots on May 13 in West Virginia, although there is little doubt about the outcome.

"I just, I want her to win and I'm going to work for her until the end," said one Clinton supporter.

"(It's) not my job to count votes, I voted for the candidate I thought would best serve the American people," explained another voter.

Senator Clinton's supporters realize that she faces an almost impossible fight to secure the Democratic nomination.

Barack Obama leads her in delegates, superdelegates, states won, and with her campaign now $20 million in debt, even a big win in West Virginia may not be enough.

"I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't believe that I could be the best President for West Virginia and America," stated Clinton.

Some say more victories like today's expected double-digit win in West Virginia will strengthen the argument that she should be Obama's running mate.

And according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll, nearly 40-percent of Democrats would like to see that happen.

"She has to show she can get these last few states, so that possibly as a Vice Presidential candidate she would be valuable," said a supporter.

All eyes were on the Senate Floor on May 13 as both Senators were there to vote.

Obama approached Clinton for a brief but polite chat, certainly not long enough to involve details of a joint ticket.

But Obama's campaign has essentially turned away from the primary fight with Clinton to the general election battle with John McCain.

"The Obama campaign has already gone into states where Senator Obama lost in the primaries, like Pennsylvania," stated George Stephanopoulos, of ABC's This Week.

"They've already done research to figure out how they can do better in the fall."
