The so-called "personhood" amendment, which defines a person as "any human being from the moment of fertilization," moved closer to Colorado's ballot, reports Jean Torkelson.

Supporters of a movement to declare a fertilized human egg a person in the state constitution turned in 131,235 voter signatures Tuesday to get a measure on the November ballot.

They called it a historic step toward Colorado becoming the first state to pass a "personhood amendment."

Opponents said it's an attempt to erode abortion rights.

The amendment defines a person as including "any human being from the moment of fertilization."

Sen. Hillary Clinton roared to a big, expected victory in West Virginia, but what did it mean?

Some say it underscores Sen. Barack Obama's inability to score with white, rural voters.

West Viginians rejected the presumptive Democratic nominee by a roughly two-to-one margin, one of the widest margins of the primary season. The outcome was the predictable result of familiar demographics: West Virginia's relatively poor white voters have been Hillary Rodham Clinton's base since February.

In a stark rejection of Obama in a state Bill Clinton carried in 1992 and 1996, almost half of the Democratic primary voters -- typically the most partisan Democrats in a state -- said they'd vote for Republican John McCain rather than Obama in November.
