While in Kentucky, Democratic co-frontrunner Senator Hillary Clinton of New York addressed supporters in regards to the delegate count that is against her. It is said that Clinton will more than likely win in Kentucky. However, it is said that Democratic co-frontrunner Senator Barack Obama of Illinois is set to soundly defeat Clinton in Oregon. There are not that many contests left as the rest of the primary let alone Democratic primary season comes to a close.
After the May 6 contests, Clinton’s campaign had suffered great damage. Clinton has barely won over Obama in Indiana’s primary by two points. She was soundly defeated by Obama in North Carolina by double-digits. The delegate math is also against Clinton. Many believe that Obama will eventually be the Democratic nominee.
Despite many people telling Clinton to drop out, she has brushed off all requests. While in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Clinton said that she would have the state all to herself until Kentucky’s primary.
She said that being the US President is the toughest job in the world and she’s running for the toughest job in the world. In Clinton’s own way of words, she was telling voters that they are hiring the next president. While Obama holds the delegate lead over Clinton, she insists she still holds the popular vote.
Clinton’s claim of leading in popularity is still up for debate. Many would question Clinton’s claims. This has been the argument to the remaining undecided superdelegates. DNC Chair Howard Dean said that the remaining superdelegates must back a candidate by the end of June.
Also, a Washington Post/ABC News Poll conducted back in April shows that voters’ trust in Clinton is fading away.
