英国新闻听力 希拉里大势已去

 

The American presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has insisted that she'll keep fighting for the Democratic Party's nomination¹, despite disappointing results in the latest primaries. Senator Clinton was speaking at a campaign rally in West Virginia.

I am staying in this race until there's a nominee². And I, obviously, am going to work as hard as I can to become that nominee. That is what I have done, that is what I am continuing to do. I believe that I am the stronger candidate against Senator McCain, and I believe I would be the best president among the three of us running. So we will continue to contest these elections and move forward.

But a shortage of donations has forced Mrs. Clinton to lend her own campaign millions of dollars. And many leading analysts³ say her attempt to beat Barack Obama to the nomination has run out of time and money.
