An article about Hillary Clinton at CNN.Com today reveals a magnanimous woman of great personal integrity:

“Hillary Clinton on Wednesday reiterated her vow to stay in the Democratic presidential race, but she said it would be a ‘terrible mistake’ for her supporters to vote for John McCain over Barack Obama.

‘“Anybody who has ever voted for me or voted for Barack has much more in common in terms of what we want to see happen in our country and in the world with the other than they do with John McCain,’ Clinton said on CNN's ‘The Situation Room.’

‘“I'm going to work my heart out for whoever our nominee is -- obviously I'm still hoping to be that nominee, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that anyone who supported me ... understands what a grave error it would be not to vote for Sen. Obama.’

“Exit polls out of West Virginia indicate only 36 percent of Clinton's supporters would vote for Obama if he were the nominee. A bare majority of Obama's voters said they would vote for Clinton over McCain.

“Clinton on Tuesday trounced Obama, carrying West Virginia by at 41-point margin. Because she trails Obama in pledged delegates, superdelegates and in the popular vote, she's faced calls to drop out of the race.

“Despite her campaign being more than $20 million in the red, Clinton confirmed she plans to keep going.

‘"I'm not going anywhere except to Kentucky and Oregon and Montana and South Dakota and Puerto Rico,’ she said. Watch what Clinton says about the road ahead »

“Those five contests round out the primary season, which ends June 3.

“Kentucky and Oregon hold primaries next Tuesday. Clinton expected to do well in Kentucky, while Obama is the favorite to carry Oregon.”
