Women once again gave Clinton a critical primary victory, delivering her enough votes to give her a 10-point edge in Pennsylvania. She may not yet be able to overcome Obama.
WASHINGTON (WOMENSENEWS)–Women helped Sen. Hillary Clinton knock out another must-win victory Tuesday night in Pennsylvania’s presidential primary, giving her enough political–if not financial–fuel to keep her campaign running through the remaining nine Democratic contests through June 3.
Clinton was beating Sen. Barack Obama 55 percent to 45 percent with 94 percent of the vote counted, according to CNN.
“We all knew Pennsylvania was either going to be the semi-finals or the finals of the game,” said Gloria Feldt, former president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in New York and a vocal Clinton supporter. “So the game goes on.”
Clinton carried 54 percent of female voters while Obama got 46 percent of women, according to CNN.
