NEW YORK — Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed Wednesday to remain in the Democratic presidential race at least until the final primaries early next month. “You don’t walk off the court before the buzzer sounds,” Clinton said on CNN. “You never know — you might get a three-point shot at the end.”
The former first lady spoke to the major news networks in Washington. Badly trailing Barack Obama in fundraising and cash on hand, Clinton was hosting about 50 of her top national fundraisers at her home Wednesday to seek their help in raising money to compete in the final five contests, in Kentucky, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota.
On CNN, Clinton said she shouldn’t have suggested in a newspaper interview that Barack Obama was having trouble winning over “hardworking … white Americans.” Told that a top black supporter, Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., had called the remark “the dumbest thing you could have possibly said,” Clinton said “Well, he’s probably right.” The Associated Press
