"Why Can't Obama Close the Deal?"

[Capt. Obvious]

ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Clinton told reporters in Conshohocken, PA today that in this close primary race “a win is a win.” When asked about the closeness of the match up and how many delegates she will receive if get if the results are tight - “a win is a win,” Clinton repeated. "Maybe I’m old fashioned about that. But, you run a very competitive race at a considerable financial disadvantage. I think maybe the question ought to be why cant he close the deal?” she added, referring to Sen. Barack Obama. “Why can't he win a state like this one, if that is the way it turns out?”

One topic Clinton chose not to address was a question about her husband’s comments yesterday accusing Barack Obama of playing the race card. Clinton ignored the question and said, “The focus on voters in Pennsylvania is on the solutions that were talking about to deal with the problems.” When the reporter followed up on whether she agreed with her husband’s assertion, Clinton said, “Well I think we are going to stay focused on what voters are focused on.”

Clinton also claimed that her campaign is the one that has been positive and not the other way around. “I think we have run a very positive campaign, I regret that especially since the debate senator Obama has chosen to go so negative. And contrary to what he says in his speeches his campaign has certainly done that.”
