Hillary Not Giving Up the Race, Says She Will Continue Even If Obama Wins on Tuesday

By Duane Lester • Mar 2nd, 2008

If you thought that Hillary would just go quietly into the night, you were either fooling yourself or ignorant about Clinton politics. Hillary’s camp, despite calls for her to fold up her campaign and go home, says she isn’t going anywhere:

Clinton’s communications chief Howard Wolfson gave no sign Clinton would quit after Tuesday, saying she would fight on through Pennsylvania in April.

“What I’m saying is, we’re going to have a great day on Tuesday. We’re going to win this nomination. This nomination fight is going to go forward after Ohio and Texas,” he said on ABC television.

“We’re going to go to Pennsylvania, where a lot more Americans are going to vote, and we’re going to be the nominee in Denver,” Colorado, where the Democrats hold their nominating Convention in August.

Clinton drove home more attacks on first-term senator Obama’s qualifications as commander in chief, while both hopefuls stressed pocket book issues, in a state hit hard by globalization and an economic downturn.

“You never know what crisis is going to happen,” Clinton said in Austintown. “I know that I will be able to defend our country.”

She will fight all right. Fight to get the delegates from Florida and Michigan reinstated. Never count out a Clinton.
