Clinton wins key Democratic vote

Written: 23rd April, 2008

Hillary Clinton has beaten rival Barack Obama in a critical vote in the state of Pennsylvania as the two battle to be the Democrats' presidential candidate.

Speaking after her convincing 10-point win, she said Americans deserved "a president who doesn't quit".

Although this victory keeps her campaign alive, Mrs Clinton's win is not enough to turn the tables on her rival, correspondents say.

Mr Obama said he had done well to gain ground on Mrs Clinton in Pennsylvania.

With 99% of returns counted, Mrs Clinton was leading Mr Obama by 55% to 45%.
