Clinton's Future

Following primaries in Indiana and North Carolina, and Obama's 200 delegate lead, BBC news speculated that Clinton's race was inevitably going to come to an end, more than likely before the next primary, arguing that mathematically she could not win. However, as the West Virginia Primaries loom around the next corner, Clinton is projected to hold a 43 point advantage over Obama. What does this mean for the election? Financially, Clinton's campaign is going down hill, and even though publicly, Clinton seems very set on remaining in the race, it will be interesting see whether her finances allow this. Having already lent about 11 million to her campaign, and making a plea toward supporters to help keep things afloat, without gaining some significant wins, it seems as if she may have to throw in the towel. This is not the first time that speculators have suggested that it may be the end for Clinton, which is why I am hesitant to believe the talk. But it will most definitely be interesting to watch these upcoming weeks, to see if she is able to make a comeback. I personally don't think that it's over yet.
