政經觀點

This debate alone will not have made a big impact on the primary.

Mrs  Clinton...said “that’s why I’m still in the race.” That “still” pointed up,     perhaps unintentionally, that Mrs Clinton remains well behind Mr Obama. She has no hope of making up her deficit among elected delegates to the nominating convention in the last few primaries. She must instead convince a number of unelected party officials (“superdelegates”) to throw the balance of the election in her favour. This means she must make, or abet Republican attacks in making, (that)Mr Obama seem unelectable.
