Clinton Soldiers On Despite Setbacks

Washingtonpost.com reported Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton insisted Friday that she had not meant to signal surrender when she shook hands with Sen. Barack Obama during their Democratic presidential debate in Austin the night before.

It was not the handshake that signaled surrender. It was saying And, you know, no matter what happens in this contest -- and I am honored, I am honored to be here with Barack Obama. I am absolutely honored. Whatever happens, we're going to be fine. You know, we have strong support from our families and our friends. I just hope that we'll be able to say the same thing about the American people, and that's what this election should be about.
It was a measure of the dire circumstances her campaign now faces that she had to explain the gesture at all. Clinton said she still expects to win the Ohio and Texas primaries,
Some are already making fun of Obama, but she needs to confront Obama on some matters if she expects tp win. She seems afraid to make people mad by saying anything against Obama. Or is it true that Deomcrats are just tired of the Clintons.
but her increasingly pessimistic advisers did nothing to rebut a remark by former president Bill Clinton that his wife must win both states to continue her candidacy.
