Sen. Hillary Clinton wins the all-important Pennsylvania Primary. She called it as a tide turning contest that eases pressure from her to drop out of the presidential nomination race.
“We were up against a formidable opponent who outspent us three-to-one. He broke every spending record in this state trying to knock us out of the race. Well, the people of Pennsylvania had other ideas,” Mrs. Clinton told supporters at her Philadelphia victory party.
On the losing side, Sen. Obama said the following:
“We closed the gap, we rallied people of every age and race and background to the cause,” he said. “Whether they were inspired for the first time, or for the first time in a long time, we registered a record number of voters, and it is those new voters who will lead our party to victory in November.”
We’ll see in November who wins the ultimate prize.
