Wounded Hillary Marches On

Posted Feb 24, 08 5:30 AM CST in Politics 

(Newser) – With Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign on the ropes, morale is low and advisers are screaming at each other in back rooms, the New York Times reports. While the candidate appears resolute, she no longer expresses the supreme confidence she once did and has stopped prefacing sentences with "when I'm president." Some advisers regret using Bill Clinton so much and concede Hillary's race may end after the Texas and Ohio Democratic primaries.

Clinton is taking it day by day, exhibiting “military discipline that has really kicked into gear," one adviser said. But others have noted a wistfulness during public appearances, particularly in her recent debate with rival Barack Obama, when Clinton said, "You know, whatever happens, we’re going to be fine.”

    Long Fight Threatens Dems Hillary Clinton's victories in Texas and Ohio herald a long, ugly scrap for the Democratic nomination—and the big loser may be the party, reports Newsweek. It remains unknown how many delegates the New York senator won last night, but Clinton can now brush aside calls for her to end her candidacy as the race moves to its next big battleground: Pennsylvania, six weeks away on April 22.
