Hillary Rodham Clinton survived yet another day.<\/p>\n
There will be little time for celebration, though. Time and money are running out.<\/p>\n
Her win Tuesday in the large and important swing state of Pennsylvania was hard-fought. Barack Obama’s well-funded effort to shut her down did not reach its ultimate goal of a surprise upset.<\/p>\n
But Clinton now faces a dwindling number of contests, and she’s at a steep financial disadvantage.<\/p>\n
Obama already is spending twice as much on ads airing in North Carolina and Indiana, the two states that come up next with primaries on May 6. He’s even advertising in Oregon, a state that he should win, where voting by mail begins in the first week of May.<\/p>\n
He can afford to shower every contest with campaign dollars from the $42 million he had at the beginning of April, while Clinton is in debt. She’ll have to either persuade donors to give her more money to sustain her long-shot bid or float herself another multimillion- dollar loan.<\/p>\n
In Pennsylvania, Clinton won with the support of whites, women and older voters, according to exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks.<\/p>\n
