Hillary vows to fight on, thanks Republican voters

Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, encouraged by the 2% margin in Indiana given to her by Republican voters, has announced that she will fight on.

"Indiana Republicans have a right to decide who they would like John McCain to beat in November, just as Indiana Democrats have a right to see who they would like to beat McCain," Clinton said in her victory speech. "I am proud that the overwhelming majority of party-crossing Limbaugh-programmed chaos-creating Republicans want to see me beaten to a bloody pulp by McCain and if I am nominated I will do everything that I can to live up to the trust that they have placed in me."

Clinton has vowed to fight on--through the next round of primaries, through the convention, through the election, through the inauguration of John McCain, and through the heat death of the universe, if necessary. "It takes a great deal of courage for a Republican to throw up in his or her mouth and vote for a Democrat like me," she said, "and I am not about to let them down simply because the people in my party want someone else."

"My opponent may have won a majority of Democrats in this state," she continued, "but the president must be the president of all the people including my Republican supporters--all of who would drink poison or shoot themselves sooner than vote for me in a general election. But democracy means that every vote counts, especially a vote for me."
