Hillary Wins Pennsylvania, Vows to Fight On
In 2008 Presidential Election | no comments yet | permalink
April 22, 2008 was a big day for Hillary Clinton. She easily won the Pennsylvania Democratic primary. Even with 55 percent of voters favoring Clinton, she only received 83 delegates compared to Barack Obama’s 73 delegates. This still puts her behind by 135 delegates. Hopefully, she hasn’t hired any movers New York to Washington DC yet.
What’s next for Clinton? She still is using the tired phrase “ready to lead on day one” and is having trouble paying her bills and raising money needed to continue her campaign. She must also be facing pressure from Democratic party officials who may want her to step out of the race before the convention. She will definitely need wins in Indiana and North Carolina on May 6th to keep her in the race. She is tied with Obama in the Indiana poll, but is clearly behind in the North Carolina poll.
Bill Clinton’s role as the first male first lady may soon be out of grasp!
