The pressure is mounting as the two Democratic Presidential Candidates race towards the nomination. With just six contests remaining and no clear winner, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are stepping up their campaign efforts. Fox's Craig Boswell reports from Washington. Barack Obama created a stir on Capitol Hill making a surprise visit on the house floor. The Illinois senator picked up the endorsement of superdelegate and former congressman David Bonior, who once headed the John Edwards campaign. Obama says: "The sooner that superdelegates make their decision, the sooner we'll have the sense who the nominee will be, the sooner we can focus on John McCain." Obama was scheduled to campaign in West Virginia but instead decided to focus on Oregon over the next two days.Obama says: "I think Senator Clinton is gonna be campaigning vigorously. She is hugely favored in West Virginia and Kentucky. She will, she will win those states."Hillary Clinton campaigned in Charleston, West Virginia. Clinton says: "West Virginia is a test. It's a test for me and it's a test for Senator Obama." She again called for the votes in Florida and Michigan to be counted and told supporters she had no plans to quit the race. Clinton says: "There are some folks who have said we need to end this before we got to West Virginia I don't think so." Republican Nominee, John McCain, stopped to visit firefighters at engine company 54 in New York city, the company lost 15 firefighters on 9-11. During a fundraiser in the Big Apple last night, Mccain brought in seven million dollars, the largest one event total. Boswell says: "Hillary Clinton sent a letter directly to Barack Obama criticizing him for not supporting re-votes in Florida and Michigan. She strongly urged him to agree to allow the votes of those two states to be counted. In Washington Craig Boswell
