WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has lost her lead among party superdelegates and has $20 million in campaign debt, will continue her fight for the Democratic presidential nomination, her campaign spokesman said yesterday.
"Sen. Clinton is committed to her supporters and to the voters in the upcoming states to carry this through and secure the nomination," campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said on
Fox News Sunday.
Clinton expects to win tomorrow's West Virginia primary, and her previous victories in Pennsylvania and Ohio have persuaded many superdelegates to delay a decision on whether to support her or rival Barack Obama, Wolfson said.
Clinton's campaign suffered a setback yesterday when Obama won endorsements from five superdelegates, erasing Clinton's long-held lead in backing from party officials and lawmakers.
David Axelrod, a spokesman for Obama's campaign, said superdelegates will continue announcing support for Obama, an Illinois senator, because "we're coming to the end of the process."
