Hillary Clinton’s campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said this morning that Clinton has no plans to drop out of the race—despite her underwhelming performance in Tuesday’s North Carolina and Indiana primaries and her campaign running out of money.
“She is absolutely staying in,” Wolfson, left, said on Talk 1300-AM in Albany. “We have West Virginia, Tuesday. We hope to do well there. There are contests in Kentucky, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota. We hope to do well in those states as well.
“We want to try to seat the delegations from Florida and Michigan, and we are going to continue to make the case to superdelegates that Sen. Clinton is the most electable and best Democrat to run against John McCain.
“We are in.”
On Tuesday, Clinton lost North Carolina by 15 percentage points and won Indiana by 2 points, and has loaned the campaign $6.4 million.
Some Democratic leaders are switching support from Clinton to Barack Obama, including former South Dakota senator George McGovern, for whom Clinton first campaigned for during his presidential bid in 1972.
