Hillary Clinton has stormed to victory over rival Barack Obama in a do-or-die showdown in Pennsylvania, keeping her presidential hopes alive.

Senator Clinton led 54% to 46% with more than three-quarters of the vote counted, a strong showing but probably not enough to dramatically change the race or narrow Senator Obama's lead in delegates who select the Democratic nominee at the August convention.
Senator Clinton's only chance depends on convincing the super-delegates to vote for her in large numbers because she is the more viable candidate in those swing states.

That would require big wins by her in some of the other swing states coming up - Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon and West Virginia - and it would probably require a major stumble by Senator Obama.
