Hillary Clinton’s campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said this morning that Clinton has no plans to drop out of the race—despite her underwhelming performance in Tuesday’s North Carolina and Indiana primaries and her campaign running out of money.
“She is absolutely staying in,” Wolfson, left, said on Talk 1300-AM in Albany. “We have West Virginia, Tuesday. We hope to do well there. There are contests in Kentucky, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota. We hope to do well in those states as well.
“We want to try to seat the delegations from Florida and Michigan, and we are going to continue to make the case to superdelegates that Sen. Clinton is the most electable and best Democrat to run against John McCain.
“We are in.”
On Tuesday, Clinton lost North Carolina by 15 percentage points and won Indiana by 2 points, and has loaned the campaign $6.4 million.
Some Democratic leaders are switching support from Clinton to Barack Obama, including former South Dakota senator George McGovern, for whom Clinton first campaigned for during his presidential bid in 1972.

some people just want to go down with the ship…

to be the nominee..she has every right to stay in
as long as she wants…and that is great for
john mccain…not so good for barack..
Speaking of John McCain- An interesting tidbit from the Cox Newspapers about the so-called “Maverick…”
“John McCain’s senior campaign staff and President Bush’s senior White House staff are so close that the McCain folks let the Bush folks know in advance whenever McCain is about to distance himself from the unpopular president, says a top McCain aide.”
Hillary is the Democrats’ own Major Kong, riding her H-bomb all the way down into the convention.
Yaaaaaa-hoo! Yaaaaaa-hoo!
