Hillary likely to withdraw from race

Several party leaders are asserting that the vicious presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is doing damage to the ability of the Democratic party to take on Republican candidate John Mccain. Democratic party leaders are likely to pressurize the former US First Lady to withdraw if she performs badly in the crucial Pennsylvania primary.

Party bosses say if the fight continues until August, the party would lose three crucial months of campaigning.

Meanwhile, Clinton slightly shifted the line of attack on Obama, challenging his ability to manage the country when he is complaining about tough questioning during the debate in which his performance, all analysts agree, was below par.
