Clinton, Obama Set Sights on Indiana

HeadlineApr 24, 2008

On the campaign trail, Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have turned their focus to Indiana, following Clinton’s win in the Pennsylvania primary. The Clinton campaign says it raised $10 million in online donations following her victory. On Wednesday, Clinton insisted her string of big-state primary wins prove she is more electable.

Sen. Hillary Clinton: “Absolutely. You know, more people have now voted for me than have voted for my opponent. In fact, I now have more votes than anybody has ever had in a primary contest for a nomination. And it’s also clear that we’ve got nine more important contests to go.”

Clinton was including her victory in both the Michigan and Florida primaries as part of her calculation. But neither primary will count because of a breach of Democratic Party rules. None of the candidates campaigned in Florida, while Senator Barack Obama and John Edwards stayed off the ballot in Michigan.
