NBC News has projected Sen. Hillary Clinton as the winner of the West Virginia Democratic Primary.
Despite beating Sen. Barack Obama by a wide margin, Obama is even closer to the Democratic presidential nomination by picking up more superdelegates.
The loss did not threaten Obama's lead in the race for the nomination. He conceded defeat in advance in the state, looking ahead to the Oregon primary later in the month and the campaign against Sen. John McCain.
The 28 delegates in the state will be divided proportionally.
