Hillary Clinton Gets Set for a Long Slog Against Bernie Sanders

-snip-
Facing a tougher than expected challenge from Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is preparing for a primary fight that could stretch into late April or early May and require a sprawling field operation in states and territories from Pennsylvania to Guam.

With the Iowa caucuses in two weeks and Mr. Sanders’s insurgent candidacy chipping away at Mrs. Clinton’s once formidable lead there, Clinton aides are acknowledging that the road to the party’s July convention could be an expensive slog. “Remember, I campaigned all the way into June last time,” Mrs. Clinton told CNN last week.

Hmm...is it possible California might actually count?

Sounds like Camp Weathervane's internals are telling them their SuperTuesday firewall isn't going to work.

Somehow it has to be driven home to the Third Way that it's Bernie or nothing.
