Considering how difficult predicting the turnout models has been thus far, and how a lot of the polls have been pretty off (NH, SC, NV, IA to a lesser extent), I think there may be a very outside chance that this happens. Very outside.

What would happen if it did?

Impossible.

Hillary cannot self-terminate.

¡No es posible! If it happened, Hillary would drop out after the results were endorsed. Which, of course, would never happen.

If that happened I would eat the DVD The Patriot with Mel Gibson and provide photographic evidence

Do keep this in mind: In all the Democratic primaries so far, the polls have been off at least 10 points.

I think it would be devastating enough that she would consider it. 

Right now, Obama is back into the "expectation" problem.  He's being oversold.  If he's thrown for a loss, his momentum stops; a big win for Clinton in FL could at least slow that momentum.  He loses on Super Monster Mega Tuesday, he's done.  He's been getting infusions of momentum, respectively, Oprah, the media, from the SC blowout, and now, the Kennedy's.  Without a string of wins, his Mo-bama evaporates.

Obama can only win if people look at him and say, "He could win." He's had two close calls, NH and NV.  FL could be that third one.  If he loses big tn FL, that "could" might chance to "couldn't."  If he doesn't win big on 2/5/08, he's crushed.

Hillary will be destroyed on Super Tuesday if Obama unexpectedly wins Florida.

Dancing and celebration erupts in the streets and Clinton makes an appeal to get Florida kicked out of the union.
