Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) has put out a statement clarifying his comments that Hillary Clinton should drop out of the race.

Leahy lays out his case that Barack Obama's delegate lead "appears to be insurmountable," and that dragging out the race is not good for the party, but acknowledges that she has every right to stay in...

"Senator Clinton has every right, but not a very good reason, to remain a candidate for as long as she wants to. As far as the delegate count and the interests of a Democratic victory in November go, there is not a very good reason for drawing this out. But as I have said before, that is a decision that only she can make."

Separately, here's what Hillary herself had to say on the trail today about the calls for her to drop out:

“There was a poll the other day that said 22 percent of Democrats wanted me to drop out and 22 percent wanted Senator Obama to drop out,” Mrs. Clinton said. “And 62 percent said let people vote until we finally know what the outcome is!”

The poll Hillary is referring to is here.
