WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Clinton will take her fight for the Democratic presidential nomination all the way to the party's convention this summer if she or Barack Obama hasn't won enough delegates to clinch the party's nomination, her campaign adviser said Friday.

Clinton campaign strategist Geoff Garin shot down speculation that Clinton would drop out of the race after Tuesday's West Virginia primary. She is expected to win that contest.

Previously, Democrats had said 2,025 delegates would be needed to win. Clinton's camp asserted she will campaign until someone reaches 2,209 delegates, the number needed if the disputed delegates from Michigan and Florida were to be included.

Obama leads with 1,859.5 delegates to 1,698 for Clinton, according to the Associated Press. Meanwhile, Obama's support among his party's superdelegates is rising.
