Clinton touts her electability

CHARLESTON, W.Va., May 13 (UPI) -- Democratic U.S. presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said Tuesday she is determined to continue her run for the White House despite trailing in delegates.

CNN reported that after winning the West Virginia Democratic primary, the New York senator told supporters she will press forward even though she trails Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois in the race.

"I am more determined than ever to carry on this campaign," she told supporters in Charleston.

With 42 percent of precincts reporting, Clinton had 65 percent support, compared to Obama's 28 percent, CNN reported.

Clinton used her win in the Mountain State to tout her electability, saying she's the stronger candidate to go up against Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive GOP nominee, in November.

"I'm winning Catholic voters and Hispanic voters and blue-collar workers and seniors, the kind of people that Senator McCain will be fighting for in the general election," Clinton said.
