Hillary Clinton wants a big win in Tuesday's West Virginia primary, hoping to blunt Barack Obama's momentum toward the Democratic presidential nomination. Both were campaigning in the state Monday, with Obama trying to counter arguments that he's not particularly patriotic.

Clinton is telling voters in West Virginia that no Democrat has won the White House since 1916 without winning West Virginia. She expects to win handily, and hopes it will turn her campaign around.

Barack Obama is also saying he expects Clinton to win.
