that reminds me of the episode of Seinfeld in which Kramer is allowed to keep his Tony on the condition that he informs Raquel Welch that she dances like a caveman.  or something.

How silly. She wants to be leader of the free world and her aides and supporters are scared of talking to her about something much of the country is saying, so they're going to ask her husband to do it? Is she really that difficult to talk to about bad news?

Hillary isn't stupid and neither is Bill. They have got to know this is the end for them.

If Obama lost 11 straight races after super Tuesday, was 150+ pledge delegates behind, was trailing by 10+ states, losing by approx 1MM popular votes, and the worst candidate in the general election polls with McCain, would he still be in the race?

Hillary has being given much too much consideration by all including her staff and the news media. 

It's the concept that she is entitled that has given all this consideration

it is simple.  if she loses texas or ohio...it is over.

if she wins both.  it isnt over.

everyone realizes that, including the candidate.  but you obama supporters should at least wait until march 4th to write her obituary.

just think of all of those little  children running around the slums of el salvador with new england patriots 19-0 shirts.  Smiley

She needs to win the by a lot. A narrow victory won't do her any good. And right now she's below the margin she needs and si falling like a rock.

it would help to win by a lot.  but i have a feeling she will keep going if she wins 3 out of 4 states on march 4th.  it would be a nice pr victory coming off of that losing streak.

if she can win 3 out of 4, the calendar looks good for her.  she can prevent obama from winning a majoirty of delegates.

She needs 58% of all up coming delegates to do that. She needs more than 60% in Texas and Ohio in order to get 58%.

She needs less to win the popular vote. That could be her game plan.

Winning the total popular vote is her ONLY chance to convince super delegate.  I give her about a one in thirty chance.
