Clinton Ignores 'Face The Music' Calls
From Fox News ~ Hillary Clinton drop out? Perish the thought.
The New York senator is still raising bucks and wearing out her political pedometer, planning a breathless day of coast-to-coast campaigning Thursday as she tunes out calls from Democrats and pundits for her to face the music and accept Barack Obama as the nominee.
“I am staying in this race,” she told donors Wednesday night at a Washington, D.C, fundraiser that netted her about $500,000. Telling them she’s been counted out before, she attempted to link her electoral struggles today to those she had before winning the New Hampshire primary in January.
“I landed in New Hampshire on a Thursday night down 9 points, and I won on Tuesday,” she said. “You can turn elections in a day. You can turn them in a week if you know what it takes to actually win. I believe I know with your help, that is exactly what we’re going to do.”
Only when Clinton landed in New Hampshire, there were still 49 states left to vote. Now there are five, and none of them can give her the pledged delegates she needs to win.
While Clinton vowed to continue her fight “until there’s a nominee,” a general consensus was growing among Democrats Wednesday that the contest to become the party’s presidential candidate had already been decided beyond a reasonable doubt.
