Clinton to continue, regrets racial tension in contest

NEW YORK—Hillary Rodham Clinton says she isn't going anywhere.

In an interview Wednesday with CNN, the day after her lopsided victory in West Virginia's primary, Clinton vowed anew to stay in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination through the final primaries on June 3.

"I don't believe in quitting," Clinton said. "You don't walk off the court before the buzzer sounds. You never know, you might get a three-point shot at the end."

The former first lady added that she shouldn't have suggested in a newspaper interview that Barack Obama was having trouble winning over "hardworking...white Americans," saying the racial issues that have crept into the campaign offended her.

Obama could become the first black president.
