Clinton Claims Mich., Fla. Votes Give Her Primary Lead



New York (AP)  -- Hillary Clinton says she'll stay in the presidential race until the final primaries next month, despite Barack Obama's steady lead.

Her campaign also is promoting the claim that Clinton now leads in the popular vote if the disputed contests in Michigan and Florida are counted.

Democratic leaders vowed not to award any nomination delegates in either state because they moved their primaries up in violation of party rules.

Obama removed his name from the Michigan ballot, while Clinton left her name on the ballot.
