Sen. Hillary Clinton scored a much-needed win in the Democratic presidential primary April 22, defeating rival Sen. Barack Obama by 10 percentage points in Pennsylvania.
Clinton's win adds to the slate of big states she's won, which include Ohio, New York and California. However, Obama leads in the delegate count as well as the popular vote.
After her win became apparent, Clinton told supporters in Philadelphia that 'It was inspiring and so exciting because this has been a six-week campaign, one on one. Voters got to look at [ myself and Obama ] , consider both of us. I was outspent three to one, and the results were just enormously exciting and gratifying to me.' She also congratulated Obama, stating that they are 'on this journey together.'
In Indiana—which, along with North Carolina, will hold the next primary May 6—Obama also congratulated Clinton, adding, ' [ W ] e closed the gap. We rallied people of every age and race and background to the cause,' specifically naming 'gay [ s ] and straight [ s ] ,' among others.
