Clinton Camp Vows to Go On, But Sees Need to Win 2 States

The New York Times reported in order for Senator Clinton to remain in the race for the White House in November, she must secure a victory in Tuesday's Democratic primary in Pennsylvania. Though by a small margin, Clinton advisers predict the win over Democratic rival Barack Obama.

“She has to win Pennsylvania and Indiana — pretty much everyone in the campaign agrees on that,” said one senior Clinton adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the campaign’s electoral expectations.

As a result of her deficit in both the popular vote and competition for delegates however, several Clinton advisers said they would urge her to drop out if Mrs. Clinton were to loose Indiana.

Clinton advisers said that a win in Pennsylvania would also assist in fund-raising efforts- an area where Senator Obama is outspending her 3 to 1. According to new campaign finance filings, the spending gap between the two senators continues to increase as Mrs. Clinton spends more money than she is taking in. Mrs. Clinton is spending $1.10 for every dollar she is taking in; Mr. Obama is spending 75 cents.

In response to spending questions, Senator Clinton said, “My opponent is outspending me 3 to 1, maybe 4 to 1. I think a win under these circumstances is a terrific accomplishment."
