Clinton fights on as hopes dwindle
Guardian (UK) Posted 28 weeks agoHillary Clinton's campaign today indicated that she intended to fight on even as her hopes of winning the Democratic presidential nomination dwindled.
Clinton failed to close the gap on Barack Obama in two key primaries last night, winning Indiana by a slim margin - 51% to 49% - but seeing that outweighed by her rival's 56% to 42% landslide in North Carolina.
Clinton had needed to win both North Carolina and Indiana, the last two big states left in the contest, to stand a chance of reining in Obama.
But in a speech in Indianapolis last night, she gave no indication that she was ready to concede, saying: "It is full speed to the White House."
