Watch Sen. Clinton's Pennsylvania victory speech.

(CNN) – Sen. Hillary Clinton claimed her Pennsylvania primary victory Tuesday night, telling Pennsylvanians that “you listened and today you chose.”

“It’s a long road to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and it runs right through the heart of Pennsylvania,” Clinton also told her supporters as they cheered.

Clinton also said Tuesday that the “stakes are high and the challenges are great” but “the possibilities are endless.” The audience responded by co-opting a trademark phrase of Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign; Clinton supporters shouted “Yes she can! Yes she can!”

I want to thank John King for making the case that the votes in Florida and Michigan should count. If Obama was stupid enough to think he could play by the rules it just underscores that he can't be president

Clinton only has gained 3 delagates today so far. Nothing really happened. Just getting closer to obamas win.

Hillary lost me 6 months ago and their isn't a prayer that I'd vote for her if she steals the nomination (or ever thereafter)…

IF Hillary wins the nomination, she will win in november also.

Obama must answer why he cannot win the big states and why he is afraid to Debate Hillary Clinton.

Yes we can!   April 22nd, 2008 11:47 pm ET

Absolutely correct, Yes we did choose, Obama has won more states, more popular overall vote, more pledge delegates and on June 3rd he will still be ahead…..

seitu   April 22nd, 2008 11:48 pm ET

Did Obama's premature concession of a Clinton victory cause Clinton's 10% victory margin?
i think it was an error.
He will still take the nomination, because for one simple reason, he is the best candidate ever to face the electorate. He is America and the world's only hope.
Clinton's politics of decadence must be stopped…at all cost.

OBAMA for PRESIDENT

now pa, hillary will forget about you, you will cling to your gun and religion to survive. i know that hillary is a pro nafta. she has two faces. she will not give danm about you. Pennsylvanians, you have been played by hillary. she is a lier, dump politician.

Thank you Pennsylvania. Thank you for not being bitter.

Now I know why McCain was dancing last night. He already knew that Hillary would be his new dancing partner in the Fall.

Two great choices. American can't lose with either.

Country first, party last.

This madness need to stop and stop now. How can primaries go on forever?
Hillary has nothing to loose that is why she keep going and going.

It is over Hillary. Actually I commend Obama. He went to Penn. and made inroads with almost a million voters.
Thank you Bob casey for your hard work. Clintons are arrogant, divisive,polaring and all about themselves.
It is time for Hillary to drop out and stop hurting Obama!

It was a wonderful positive, personal & substantive victory speech 2 you gave 2 show us why we made the right choice in supporting you as our next President.

SLO Bear   April 22nd, 2008 11:59 pm ET

While Obama shows restraint for the good of the party, and by corrolary for the good of the party, Clinton piles on with self-aggrandizing emasculation. Superdelegates, how about a little courage?!?!

We'll wait and see just how this will play out. When the popular vote goes to Obama and the "loser-delagates" sway the scales, we'll all be in the middle of exactly what the democrats cried foul in the Geo. Bush fiasco. GOD helps us………….

I think that says it all. Obama's slogan is "Yes we can" and Hillary's is "Yes SHE can". For Hillary, its all about Hillary, and nobody else.

lt   April 23rd, 2008 12:06 am ET

If Clinton wins the nomination, this country diserves another 9/11 for it's stupidity. I will certainly go for McCain because because then there will not be any differnce who is a president.

Too bad the electoral vote for Obama in Pennsylvania would be just as decisive.

Hope she doesn't start crying again when she loses badly in NC.

I didnt choose you in Texas and I surely wont choose you in Nov if you steal this election.. Its always been about the delegates not your popular vote rule.

Don't give up Hillary! We trust that you can get the job done! Hillary has been strong and has not given up even when her chances looked bad. That is something to take into consideration.

Go Hillary!

Mike, Toronto   April 23rd, 2008 1:25 am ET

Oh yeah, she won by 9.4%, but didn't she need a 'double digit' victory? Or wait, it depends on how you define 'double digit'…

Lucas Hart   April 23rd, 2008 1:41 am ET

CNN DID YOU LISTEN THE SOUND OF DEMOCRACY!! CAN YOU LISTEN???

Unshrub   April 23rd, 2008 1:44 am ET

A big wop-de-do, she won 6 more delegates then Obama. Why are all the news making this sound like a big win. At this rate she will need to win 30 more states to catch up to Obama. Everyone says she needs to win by 20% to catch up and she never gets half of that, but the DNC lets her keep going to destroy Obama. It must be the DNC death wish.

American   April 23rd, 2008 1:49 am ET

Tim   April 23rd, 2008 1:53 am ET

I can't really understand what she really thinks she is going to accomplish by staying in. It's meglamaniacal. She's losing, and she just can't seem to understand that it is better for her party if she drops out and asks her followers to support Obama.

You see, this is a clear indication of what she will be like as president. It won't be about anything but other than what SHE wants. There will be no compromise. There will only be vicious attacks on character.

I have to say though that these two candidates are the first Democrats I have seen that HAVE ideas. However, they are joining the Republicans in thier role becasue they are all BAD ideas.

bond   April 23rd, 2008 1:55 am ET

Are you Billary supporters just plain mental midgets? This race has been effectively over since super tuesday and that's a fact! Billary won PA… netting a handful of more delegates, which Obama will obviously win back in NC. Do you morons not realize his plan was to drain her campaign financially in PA, by purposely outspending her (which he can afford), causing her to spend as well. Unless she loans herself more money, her bankroll is spent and will have nada for NC & IN (and beyond if she's selfish enough to continue on). The superdelegates will not overturn the popular vote, the elected delegates, and the states Obama has won. As every exit poll in virtually every contest has shown, educated voters support Obama. Maybe this is why Billary supporters (and their candidate) can't do the math that clearly shows her demise long ago. Get a clue!

Anastasia   April 23rd, 2008 1:56 am ET

Come on all of you Hillary fans! Let's help her win. I didn't send just $5 I sent $25. Let's get her out of the red and push her forward. Yes she will! Go Hillary!

This is the beginning of the end for Obama. Hillary will become the nominee and the next president. It is inevitable by the will of GOD himself. She is GOD's chosen one and will fulfill her destiny.

Indiana & NC for Obama   April 23rd, 2008 2:11 am ET

Ron Reagan on Larry King hit it on the head. Even when Barack is the Democratic nominee, Hillary does not him to win in November. She wants to say I told you so, so she can run in 2012. She knows once Obama is President she will not be able to run against him in 2012. We need to find Hillary a country that she can rule and reign on.

Raphael Houston Tx   April 23rd, 2008 2:12 am ET

OBAMA can not win the BIG STATES.

Even though Obama out spent Hillary 3 to 1, he was knocked out of Pennsylvania.

Hillary is a lying hypocrite!

CORRECTION

The "college graduates" are in support of OBAMA:)

Jeff   April 23rd, 2008 2:25 am ET

Even my 5th grader knows the numbers are not in your favor, Hillary. What you are doing is divisive, destructive and selfish. There are at least a couple Yogi Berra-isms that might explain why it's respectable to stay in this race, but for you to stay in this is to throw away the Democrat's most sure bet for the White House in decades.

Is it that important for you to stand in front of your supporters sometime in June and say 'well, we tried, we fought, yada yada..' ? Better start rehearsing that speech.

Marc   April 23rd, 2008 2:26 am ET

You mean the college graduates are in support of Barack Obama!

Jesse   April 23rd, 2008 2:28 am ET

~~

PA listened to your LIES… and when the truth comes out they along with everyone else will never admit to voting for you.

They might as well start calling you Hillary Bush… with all those negative ads

What Dem would use 911 / Bin Laden in a nomination race against another Dem?

I think I'll go for a few shots… maybe a dozen so I don't remember your ads Hillary

Ps some direct Clinton to the Rep party membership website

Beck from TN   April 23rd, 2008 2:33 am ET

Chose What? Someone who will lie? I can't for the life of me understand what people think she can or will do for this country! Bush is bad but heaven sakes people do you think that just because this JR senator from NY was married to Bill Clinton she will make a good president? Based on what? Her husbands record! If people think by putting another Clinton in the whitehouse the good old days of the 90's under Bill will return you need to wake up! If she wins the nomination I will have to vote McCain! Why because I feel I have no other choice!

Photo   April 23rd, 2008 2:38 am ET

PLEASE change the photo…seeing both of the LYING Clintons together makes me sick!! I agree with Bill in the previous post…how could people from his state (PA) be so stupid???!!!

Allen   April 23rd, 2008 2:39 am ET

That's right…I listened and I choose. I am from PA and voted last night. However, I voted for Obama. I now regret that because I saw how he just discounted my vote during his speech. I know understand Michigan and Florida. He simply can't take the heat and then slams others when it does not go his way. I just donated that maximum allowed by law to Hillary Clinton's campaign. My vote has already been counted and it was wasted. Come November, I will vote for Clinton if she makes it. If not, I will vote for McCain. He just lost my vote and gave her a nice donation compliments of Allen W of Philadelphia.

The O   April 23rd, 2008 2:40 am ET

Good win Hillary. But it just goes to show you how many uneducated people we have in this country. Put down that beer and buy a book. and maybe get your G.E.D's becuase who ignorant do you have to be to think this chick won't lie to you in the white house like bush has…

Venus The Super star   April 23rd, 2008 2:41 am ET

She has once again pulled off with another big win. This really proves that she is able to take hard hits and come back and win. She is not going down and we need a candidate who will be able to take such hard hits and win. Hillary has proven her strength.

B Williams   April 23rd, 2008 2:42 am ET

I am an Independent Voter and was considering voting for Senator Clinton because of Former President Clinton. However, the question should not be why Senator Obama has not closed the gap to win the nomination but why Sentaor Clinton the early "Front Runner" let a junior Senator get this far. Apparently, its not about her experience but its about the "Change" the American People want for our country to go into a new direction. The "Change" is not but not Senator Clinton; its Senator Obama!

Indiana for Hillary   April 23rd, 2008 2:45 am ET

That's right - YES SHE CAN! YES SHE CAN!

Obama could not close the deal with Pennsylvania in spite of $12 million and six weeks. Indiana doesn't want him either.

Hillary's victory is truly inspiring!

marlino   April 23rd, 2008 2:46 am ET

Congratulation senador!!

Oh, it's all the NObama supporters crying!!!!

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!

NObama even looks evil to me, doesn't even look like a friendly individual.

America Post Obama   April 23rd, 2008 2:50 am ET

I'll be sending money this week to help elect the best candidate for

Congratulation for winning PA! Remember, JFK won the presidency by a VERY SMALL margin. Small numbers sometimes means a lot.!

driven   April 23rd, 2008 2:51 am ET

hillary will be the greatest president of our lifetimes

America Post Obama   April 23rd, 2008 2:59 am ET

B Williams,

We also want change, real change. Hillary would be the greatest change in the history of this country! Think about it, there has never been a female president of this country but lots and lots of mediocre politicians who became president because of voters belief that only men are "fit" for the presidency, it's a patriarchal society where women are not taken seriously, specially if running for the presidency of the good old patriarchal USA!

nwcanadian   April 23rd, 2008 3:01 am ET

Good grief, this woman is such a manipulative phony. She makes it up as she goes along and has no shame whatsoever when caught. It's just "moving right along, folks" and on to the next bamboozle.

Oregon   April 23rd, 2008 3:25 am ET

Oregon (where I live) hosts one of the larger remaining states. Based on all available indications, Obama will win by one of his biggest margins out here. And he'll also beat Clinton by a big margin in the largest of the remaining primaries (North Carolina). Clinton won't win. But her ego will cause trouble.

T Baker   April 23rd, 2008 3:31 am ET

Texas - Ohio - Pennsylvania. three HUGE wins in a row..

NEWSFLASH - In a contest where number of delegates won dictates a 'win' (that's what this contest is, in case you didn't know that either) - Hilary DID NOT win Texas… check the facts.

Congrats on Ohio and PA HIllary … nice to see you can win those Big 'Archie Bunker' states……

Vig   April 23rd, 2008 3:38 am ET

Now that Hillary has found her voice she should definitely not waste it on Obama. Rather, she needs to set her Presidential agenda, talk to the people on issues, and keep her focus. Let him hang himself as he will probably do or say something that will come back to haunt him.

Hillary hon, make sure you take John McCain and Rush Limbaugh out to dinner with you and Bill, for them helping you with your marginal victory. You played the game well for a Republican. Uncle George would be proud of how you swindled Pennsylvania voters. But then again you Pennsylvania drop-outs were always so easy to fool by her. Obama will be the nominee, and you can take that to the bank.

4 india and other developing countries obama rocks

Jim, Indiana   April 23rd, 2008 3:41 am ET

The Superdelegates must now make the decision to support Hillary and put an end to this race.

She has won all of the big States and Obama has won none of them. Everyone knows, including the Republicans, that you can't win in November without these important States.

Choosing Obama would be like handing the White House to John McCain and the Republicans on a silver platter!

Indiana loves you Hillary and we will fight for you to the end!!!

Virgle B Ft. Smith, AR   April 23rd, 2008 3:41 am ET

I wonder why it is that this woman who has been extremely low in the popularity ratings, as well as her trustworthiness, and is guilty of using such negative campaign tactics, can continue to stay in this race, and keep it close.
It just does not add up!!!

Go Hillary!

ian   April 23rd, 2008 3:50 am ET

Um, a single digit, 8 point victory IS NOT a victory Hill; you were up 24 points a few weeks ago. Now on to Indiana and NC. Fine, we get it, you aren't giving up. GUESS WHAT, neither are we.

The math is against you Hillary.

OBAMA for America.

Barb in TN   April 23rd, 2008 3:54 am ET

Lets talk about lies.
Obama lied about knowing Rezko, he said he worked 4 or 5 hours for him in the debate Rezko was first mentioned in. We certainly know better now.
Obama lied about his house deal in IL that he got with Rezko's help.
Obama lied about Rev. Wright. There is no way someone can be your mentor and you not know their views.
If you lay down with dogs you get fleas.
If my friend is dealing drugs and I know it and do nothing but keep them as a friend I am condoning their behavior. If I truely object to it I end the friendship.
Obama lied about his father and JFK.
Obama lied about his father meeting his mother in Selma.
There are many more lies but those are the ones that come to mind quickly.
He called his grandmother who loves him a typical white woman. EXCUSE ME! That sounds racist to me. Isn't that a sterotype?
He has no right to talk about someone elses judgement when his is so poor.
He absolutely does not understand what it means to not have any food in your home.
He would leave millions out of his health care plan.
He has an unrealistic view of exiting Iraq.
He has not chaired a meeting for the committe he runs on Afganistan even though he keeps spouting off about how we need to be fighting there and not in Iraq. He is right about that but he has done nothing to change it. These meetings he should have been having are about getting support from our allies in NATO in Afganistan. Sounds important to me.
These are just a few of the reasons I would never vote for Obama. I could name more for why I voted for Clinton but don't want to make this post too long.
Clinton is right. I have listened and I've listened closely and done my research and that's why I stand behind her 100% and hope she wins the nomination.
After all there is only a 1% difference between her and Obama now in the popular vote, this is the one the supers will go by when they have to decide this thing. Neither will be able to reach the delegate count needed.
May the best woman win!

Both campaigns should cut the marketing and attempts at making each state a "relative victory." Lowering initial expectations so that the final tally can seem to be more impressive doesn't work well when nonstop polling, and publication of those, make it well known what happens.

Instead of claiming Clinton just missed her last chance or lost a 20 pt lead earlier, Obama's campaign would do well to follow his lead and congratulate her and move on instead of trying to spin the results.

As for Clinton, words can't express my revulsion and disdain at her campaign tactics - and even more than that, I fear her character and ability to lead and represent our country. Her sense of entitlement and attitude that "you're either with me or a Judas against me," like the fear-mongering advertising tactics, are eerily similar to those we've seen in under Bush, Cheney, and Rove. If someone thinks differently, then they're to be hated and attacked, or if they're a NASA scientist, to be quieted and their scientific results and publications suppressed, or if they're an attorney general, to be fired.

Enough of this type of governing and politics. Is this the "experience" that we're hearing so much of? If there's any difference between Clinton and Bush, it surely does not lie in the manner and approach they take towards managing, whether it be a campaign or a country.

I think we've seen enough from Hillary during this campaign so far to realize that her lack of character and integrity is a far greater flaw than the different stand on issues lying with McCain. Whether it's 2008, or perhaps 2012 as it seems her plan may be to attack Obama and bring about a McCain victory in '08 so she can try again in 2012 … I wouldn't vote for her to a PTA officer, not to mention national politician representing our country.

maxine jenkins   April 23rd, 2008 3:58 am ET

i have watched the media today and listen everyone stressing the fact that obama out spent clinton from anywhere from 2to 1 to 5 to 1 , and the fact of the matter is obama had all odds against from the fact she was born there. to the fact that she had all the top politicain in the state on her side she had a30 point lead to start with. i think obama did a superb job by closing the gap with the onlyt resources he had ,the clintons just keeps turning the table everytime its there totake the punch, from blowing him away in penns to he outspent so now it a 10 points down from 30 and obama the loser ? shame on you hillary.

K'la   April 23rd, 2008 4:06 am ET

Hillary knows what it is like to be a smart and forward thinking woman marginalized and discounted because that is the way our society values us. However, she is by far the more qualified candidate and has selflessly served as first lady and WOMEN will understand this more than men. As first lady you are immersed in opportunities to learn and can critically examine all the issues the President faces, but because you are "the first lady" you have no power or say in what happens. In Hillary's case she donned that role with an education every bit as good as her husband’s and served her country an unpaid volunteer, being a "figure" for the white house and most likely having to represent things that at times that she didn't believe in or support. However, her DUTY was to be “the first lady” she did her duty as such. Life as a symbolic image backing the President because that is what a good wife does despite personal cost is excruciatingly difficult. I see her years in the white house as priceless. Hillary has my vote because she understands what “sacrifice for the good of the whole” really means. Hillary expresses a deep devotion to duty and proves it through her own personal service.

As a woman Hillary faces gender bias constantly because its ubiquitous in our culture. That fact alone demonstrates why Hillary has to have so much conviction to press on and never give up. She simply has to be tougher than all the other candidates and I deeply understand exactly what that takes and where it comes from. Hillary is showing all women what it takes to emerge from the ranks of marginalized trophy-hood and fight for respect. Hillary won’t give up and neither will I.

Laura   April 23rd, 2008 4:12 am ET

Hey, I'm a college graduate, too! And I support Hillary Clinton. I know a lot of women (and men) who are college graduates and who support Hillary Clinton.

Contrary to popular belief, we're not a bunch of dummies. We know exactly who to support - the woman who'll get the job done!

aliou salam Florida   April 23rd, 2008 4:19 am ET

8 years ago, she told americans that she will reform health care. The same Hillary and bill by her side. She didn't do it. she mispoke or it was the fault of her friends the lobbyists.

Then her kitchen sink tactics put the bush in the white house, a friend. They still had private parties and dinners with the bushes, so it was a vacation, not a retirement.

8 years later she is back asking for more 8 years, to reform health care. so bush can go on vacation, while waiting for another bush to be ready. or another clinton to be ready.

8 years later, clinton or bush will still be asking you for another 8 years. to reform health care. and may be by that time, most of you have died. so no one remembers.

……… and another bush, or clinton, or someone from the same circle, will ask you for and get 8 more years, … and you will vote for it…. and they will go on vacation, until the next 8 years are up. and they will still suck you in with the same kitchen sink bur all strategy. and you will buy it, even though you think you know it all…. all this because you didn't get your GED

You see, getting a GED isn't a curse. It frees you. You can look past the fears and the kitchen sink. and who is going to mandate GED in this country?

I think anyone born in this country or an immigrant should be required to get a GED to keep the american nationality. Even if your ancestors came with the mayflower. They screw'z us all up!!!

Sara from Arizona   April 23rd, 2008 4:21 am ET

She makes me sick!!!!!!!!!

aliou salam Florida   April 23rd, 2008 4:23 am ET

Super delegates are playing games on America. They want this to go on for ever, and give hilary false hopes. We are doing this to ourselves. or we are a nation of voyeurs. we like to see all this blood shed on national TV. then we complain they happened.

hillary may not know how to run a campaign, to manage her people and pay her vendors or to reform health care, she sure knows how stupid we are, and how many of us will be sucked into her kitchen sink tactics.

Florian   April 23rd, 2008 4:35 am ET

How could still so many peoplevote for her?! I don't get it. Sorry, but it's only in the US that she could stand a chance after all her dirty, disgusting games. She is a pretender, and she would do anything to get into the White House, however much damage it will cause. She doesn't care for anyone but herself. DISGUSTING

Tony From Australia   April 23rd, 2008 4:36 am ET

Wake up Americians

George Bush is a puppet president and so will be your next president, it won't be Obama.

Grace   April 23rd, 2008 4:42 am ET

My prayers are with you Obama. You wiil overcome this loss.

TYPICAL WHITE MALE from Michigan   April 23rd, 2008 4:42 am ET

Just go and Spin it to your KOOL-AID Brain Obama Supporters. Again I read the most VILE and DISGUSTING BLOGS from you people. You don't seem to be able to give anyone any credit for doing a great job. You Obama supporters turned this Obama Supporter right off by the things you say about someone else. Because of the things the Obama people say I switched to INDEPENDENT and now will only vote for Hillary or McCain in the fall. You Obama people really make me sick. Also do not lose the KEYS to your parents Home.

Kar   April 23rd, 2008 4:44 am ET

Sadly, she took the win. Thankfully, by not a very large margin. She had to take 2/3 or more of the state to get that win, when Obama took his voter's from very counties. What makes me proud is that Rendell country (Philly), voted for Obama. PA voters that voted for Clinton, I hope you are happy. Rendell has run over us forwards, and now Clinton is coming to back over us.

Patricia Gonzalez, Miami, FL   April 23rd, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Senator Hillary Clinton is back in this race and coming back strong with tonite's win in another battleground state. Her victory speech was right on target and the leaders of the Democratic party better start to re-consider who can really beat McCain in November. It's certainly not Barack Obama.

GO HILLARY!
