Washington: Hillary Clinton has vowed to continue her campaign to become the Democratic presidential candidate, despite suffering a setback in this week's primaries.
The New York Senator, who has had to lend her campaign $6.4m to avert a funding shortage, lost ground to rival Barack Obama after Tuesday's primaries in Indiana and North Carolina.
Obama won North Carolina convincingly, by 14 points and lost narrowly (by two points) in Indiana.
After the results were announced, Mrs Clinton said she would remain in the race until the final nominee was chosen and appealed for her supporters to attract more funding for the campaign.
