Clinton will not give up

The latest results show that the race for the Democratic presidential candidacy is now over, Manuel Queiroz writes. "If the second candidate's name were not Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate would have been decided on long ago. But Hillary's name is Clinton, she has money, power and a tradition in the party. ... Nevertheless, after her defeat last Tuesday in North Carolina and her narrow victory in Indiana, Hillary cannot beat Barack Obama. Neither electors' votes nor the number of superdelegates can help her now, with just six small states left to be counted. ... These primaries are like those of January and February, but the context has changed, with a growing economic crisis and vigorous attacks against the Afro-American candidate - who nevertheless still has a clear lead. Obama can no longer lose."
