JOHNSTOWN, Pa. Ñ Senator Barack Obama had a few words of advice Saturday for his rival, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton: Do not drop out on my account.
ÒMy attitude is that Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants,Ó Mr. Obama, of Illinois, said at a news conference in a high school gymnasium here. ÒHer name is on the ballot. She is a fierce and formidable opponent, and she obviously believes she would make the best nominee and the best president.Ó
