Though the media pundits throughout the Wednesday on major news channels declared that the Clinton’s White House hopes are far from over and that Obama is the nominee to face Republican John McCain in the general elections, Hillary Clinton stood upright and committed to her campaigning for the remaining six primaries starting from West Virginia.
But there were some resounding changes after the big loss in N.C. and a two point winner in Indiana as the Clinton started her campaign in West Virginia. She was booed while she mentioned her gas tax plans during a speech in Shepherd University, She added “if” to her customary line, “when I am president” and all this while Clinton never talked about the defeat or the rival Obama. But the most embarrassing part was when her daughter Chelsea Clinton almost busted into tears as she introduced her mother on to the state.
As the delegate gap between Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton further widened after the Tuesday’s primary, Clinton said that she will fight on and fight hard till there remains the mathematical possibility or there is a nominee.
Clinton’s campaign officials are still hoping that most of the undecided superdelegates can still be persuaded to support Clinton as both of the senators don’t seem to win all the 2,025 pledged delegates to secure the nominations. It’s appearing that the decision will finally be under 800 superdelegate, who can choose any of the two Democratic Senators.
With some of the most influential superdelegates already shifting their support from Clinton to Obama, many have said that their decision will be based on popular votes and primary victories, chances are getting even darker for the New York Senator, Hillary Clinton.
However, the main problem for Clinton ahead of the remaining six primaries is the shortage of funds. Soon after her 14-point loss in N.C., Clinton’s campaign officials related the defeat to fewer funds. Clinton appealed to her supporters for more funds.
