Bernie Sanders in Huntington, West Virginia

"This campaign is going as well as it is, with the extraordinary energy and enthusiasm we are generating all across this country," Sanders said. "Look at this room here tonight, we have over 6,000 people. The reason we are generating this enthusiasm is because we are doing something very unusual in contemporary American politics. We are telling the truth."Sanders looked to capture the state's vote and its 29 delegates in his speech, during which he played to the state's economic and social woes, many of which he said were similar to the plights being suffered by citizens throughout the country.Sanders pointed out West Virginia's workforce participation rate, which is the lowest in the country, noting that 53 percent of adults in the state who are eligible to work actually have jobs.Herald-Dispatch LACIE PIERSON
