there ar some who have want to cut thi race short __PUNCT__

thei sai __PUNCT__ give up __PUNCT__ it too hard __PUNCT__ the mountain is too high __PUNCT__ but here in west virginia __PUNCT__ you know a thing or two about rough road to the top of the mountain __PUNCT__

we know from the bibl that faith can move mountain and __PUNCT__ my friend __PUNCT__ the faith of the mountain state ha move me __PUNCT__

i am more determin than ever to carri on thi campaign until everyon ha had a chanc to make their voic_heard __PUNCT__

i want to commend senat_obama and hi support __PUNCT__

thi continu to be a hard __PUNCT__ fought race __PUNCT__ from on end of our countri to the other __PUNCT__

you heard thi befor __PUNCT__ there ar mani who want to declar a nomine befor the ballot were count or even cast __PUNCT__

some said our campaign wa over after iowa __PUNCT__ but then we won new hampshir __PUNCT__

then we had big victori on super_tuesdai and in ohio and texa and pennsylvania __PUNCT__ and of cours __PUNCT__ we came from behind to win in indiana __PUNCT__

so __PUNCT__ thi race isn't over yet __PUNCT__

neither of us ha the total deleg it take to win and both senat_obama and i believ that the deleg from florida and michigan should be seat __PUNCT__

i believ we should honor the vote cast by __NUM___million_peopl in those state and seat all of their deleg __PUNCT__

under the rule of our parti __PUNCT__ when you includ all __NUM___state __PUNCT__ the number of deleg need to win is __NUM__ and neither of us ha reach that threshold yet __PUNCT__

thi win in west_virginia will help me move even closer __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ in a campaign __PUNCT__ it can be easi to get lost in the polit spin and the poll or the punditri __PUNCT__ but we must never lose_sight of what realli count __PUNCT__ of why all of us care so much about who win and who lose in our polit_system __PUNCT__

an enorm decis fall on the shoulder of democrat_voter in these final contest and those democrat empow to vote at our convent __PUNCT__

and tonight __PUNCT__ in light of our overwhelm victori here in west_virginia __PUNCT__ i want to send a messag to everyon still make up their mind __PUNCT__

i am in thi race becaus i believ i am the strongest candid __PUNCT__ the strongest candid to lead our parti in __DATE__ of __NUM__ and the strongest presid to lead our nation start in __DATE__ of __NUM__ __PUNCT__

i can win thi nomin if you decid i should __PUNCT__ and i can lead thi parti to victori in the gener_elect if you lead me to victori now __PUNCT__

the choic fall to all of you __PUNCT__ and i don't envi you __PUNCT__

i deepli admir senat_obama __PUNCT__ but i believ our case __PUNCT__ a case west_virginia ha help to make __PUNCT__ our case is stronger __PUNCT__

togeth __PUNCT__ we have won million and million of vote __PUNCT__ by the time tonight is over __PUNCT__ probabl __NUM___million __PUNCT__ close to it __PUNCT__

we won them in state that we must be prepar and readi to win in __DATE__ __PUNCT__ pennsylvania and ohio __PUNCT__ arkansa and new hampshir __PUNCT__ new jersei __PUNCT__ new mexico __PUNCT__ nevada __PUNCT__ michigan __PUNCT__ florida __PUNCT__ and now west_virginia __PUNCT__

it is a fact that no democrat ha won the white_hous sinc __NUM__ without win west_virginia __PUNCT__

the bottom_line is thi __PUNCT__ the white_hous is on in the swing_state and i am win the swing state __PUNCT__

and we have done it by stand up for the deepest principl of our parti with a vision for an america that reward hard_work again __PUNCT__ that valu the middl_class and help to make it stronger __PUNCT__

with your help __PUNCT__ i am readi to go head __PUNCT__ to __PUNCT__ head with john_mccain to put our vision for america up against the on he share with presid_bush __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i believ our parti is strong enough for thi challeng __PUNCT__

i am strong enough for it __PUNCT__

you know i never give up __PUNCT__

i keep come back __PUNCT__ and i stand with you as long as you stand with me __PUNCT__

togeth __PUNCT__ we will draw the stark distinct that will determin the futur direct of our nation __PUNCT__ the differ between end the war in iraq respons or continu it indefinit __PUNCT__ between health_care for everyon and more uninsur american __PUNCT__ between stand up for the middl __PUNCT__ class_famili that you repres or stand up for the corpor special_interest __PUNCT__

so __PUNCT__ i ask you __PUNCT__ democrat __PUNCT__ to choos who you believ will make the strongest candid in the fall and who is readi to execut the offic of the presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

peopl ask me all the time __PUNCT__ why am i in thi race __PUNCT__

you will never be count out __PUNCT__ and i won't either __PUNCT__

thi elect is fundament about whether or not the american_dream remain aliv and well __PUNCT__ for our children and our grandchildren __PUNCT__

thi is the core of my life and my polit_belief __PUNCT__ that we ow so much to futur_gener __PUNCT__ that we do not want to see that dream reced __PUNCT__ that we know peopl have to work_hard __PUNCT__ and we expect you to do just that and to take respons __PUNCT__ but at the veri least __PUNCT__ you should have a presid who is on your side again __PUNCT__

there is an excit about polit that is the lifeblood of our democraci __PUNCT__

for me __PUNCT__ thi elect isn't about who in or who out or who up or who down __PUNCT__

it about the common thread that tie us togeth __PUNCT__ rich and poor __PUNCT__ young and old __PUNCT__ black and white __PUNCT__ latino and asian __PUNCT__ democrat __PUNCT__ republican __PUNCT__ and independ __PUNCT__

we ar unit by common valu __PUNCT__

it is still so close and it realli doe depend upon those who will vote in these next contest and those who have the awesom respons as deleg of our great democrat_parti __PUNCT__

i ask that peopl think hard about where we ar in thi elect __PUNCT__ about how we will win in __DATE__ __PUNCT__ becaus thi is not an abstract exercis __PUNCT__

thi is for a solemn __PUNCT__ crucial purpos __PUNCT__ to elect a presid to turn our countri around __PUNCT__ to meet the challeng we face and seiz the opportun __PUNCT__
