The New York Times

Seizing on Her Primary Win, Clinton Says Tide Is Turning

The New York Times reported that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton clinched the win in the Pennsylvania primary today be a substantial 10 point margin.

The Sen. from New York proclaimed that she has proven to be the best candidate to run against republican rival Senator John McCain because of her ability to carry key swing states.

"I won the states we have to win- Ohio, now Pennsylvania," she said. "It's very hard to imagine a Democrat getting to the white house without winning those states."

The Obama campaign, under pressure to explain why the Illinois senator was once again unable to overcome his opponent in key states, pointed out that Mr. Obama still possesses a lead in pledged delegates that is almost impossible for Mrs. Clinton to overcome.

As both candidates now focus on Indiana and North Carolina, the attention now turns to fundraising and spending. The Clinton campaign, who has been outspent nearly 3 to 1 throughout the race for the nominee, got a huge boost in domantions following the announcement of her victory. In her speech, Sen. Clinton annnounced that her campaign had brought in $3 million online over night.
