CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Hillary Clinton says her win in the West Virginia Democratic presidential primary is an "overwhelming vote of confidence."

And Clinton, who coasted to victory over Barack Obama, told supporters in Charleston that she is "more determined than ever" to carry on the campaign."  With nearly all precincts reporting in The Mountain State, Clinton stretched her margin of victory past the 40-point mark.

Clinton appealed to backers for their financial support to help her through what she calls "the home stretch." She asked them to go to her Web site. She also called for the party to make sure that delegates from Florida and Michigan are seated at the convention.

Those states were sanctioned for moving their primaries ahead of Super Tuesday.

The New York senator said she's in the race because she believes she is "the strongest candidate," even though Barack Obama is closing in on nomination.

Clinton also said she will work her heart out to make sure there is a Democrat in the White House.
