Yet again, Hillary Clinton refused to let Barack obama kill her
White House dreams, pulling from the brink of bankruptcy and extinction with her Pennsylvania primary win.
It was unclear whether Tuesday’s campaign-saving left Ms. Clinton’s road to the White House any easier, as she still trails her Democratic rival in nominating contests, pledged delegates, fundraising and the popular vote. But it did make one thing crystal clear: the never-say-die former First Lady has no plan to leave this riveting, exhausting, presidential nomination battle any time soon.
Ms.Clinton marched in to a ballroom in relief and euphoria, with a vow to fight on through the last nine nominating contests.
And Ms. Clinton’s Pennsylvania triumph, built on strong populist appeal to women, older voters and the working class, may have once again warded off an exodus of “superdelegates” to Mr.Obama.
Superdelegates are the top party officials and who will decide the Democratic Party nomination, since neither candidate can reach the 2,025 needed to claim nomination outright.
The next Democratic electoral tests are in Indiana (May 6), which appears to be a toss-up, and North Carolina, where one campaign official of Ms. Clinton said it would take a “miracle” for her to win, given the large number of African American voters, who tend to favour Mr. Obama.
