Clinton declares victory, asks for money

After getting the victory in Pennsylvania to save her candidacy, Hillary Clinton declared tonight that voters picked her as the Democrat most ready to be president.

"It's a long road to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and it runs right through the heart of Pennsylvania," she told cheering supporters at the Park Hyatt Philadelphia, where she took the ballroom stage with Bill and Chelsea Clinton by her side, along with her two biggest backers in Pennsylvania, Governor Ed Rendell and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter.

She then launched into her stump speech as supporters chanted "Yes, She Can." She also urged backers to go to her website and give money to her campaign, saying that she was being vastly outspent.

"Some people counted me out and said I should drop out," she said. "But the American people don't quit and they deserve a president who doesn't quit either....Because of you, the tide is turning."

Clinton is now headed to Indiana, whose May 6 primary now looms as the next showdown, the next chance for Barack Obama to knock her out. She has an event scheduled Wednesday in Indianapolis, three more events in Indiana on Friday, and two more on Saturday. On Thursday, she plans to be in North Carolina, which also hoIds a primary May 6.

Obama is already in Indiana, scheduled to speak tonight at a rally in Evansville, Ind. He has a town hall set for Wednesday in New Albany, Ind.
