Clinton cites Karl Rove as reason to stay in
Posted: 04:45 PM ET


Hillary Clinton campaigns in Kentucky Monday ahead of the states
primary.

PRESTONSBURG, Kentucky (CNN) – Hillary Clinton defended her reasoning
for staying in the presidential race Monday afternoon by pointing out
that Karl Rove's analysis shows her to be the strongest candidate
against John McCain in November.

“There has been a lot of analysis about which of us is stronger to win
against Sen. McCain, and I believe I am the stronger candidate,” said
Clinton, repeating a line from her stump speech.

Then she veered from her usual argument.

“Just today I found some curious support for that position when one of
the TV networks released an analysis done by - of all people - Karl
Rove, saying that I was the stronger candidate,” said Clinton.
“Somebody go a hold of his analysis and there it is.”

Clinton was referring to electoral maps drawn up by Karl Rove’s
consulting firm that were obtained by ABC and forecast her currently
leading McCain in the electoral college by 53 votes (259-206), while
Obama trails McCain by 17 (238-221)

270 electoral votes are needed to win November’s election.

Clinton continued to push for Florida and Michigan’s delegates to be
seated but said that even if that happens, the race won’t be over.

“Once we include Florida and Michigan, neither Sen. Obama nor I will
have enough delegates to get the
nomination so there is no way that this is going to end any time soon
because we’re going to keep fighting
for the nomination.”
