If Clinton loses Texas and Ohio, she should step aside for the sake of Party unity.

Poll question: If Clinton loses Texas and Ohio, she should step aside for the sake of Party unity.

The hypothetical assumes she wins none of the contests before Texas and Ohio as well.

1. If She Loses Both? Yeah, I Agree With That.

[THUNDER HANDS]

2. i doubt she'll lose Texas

but she's going to have to blow him away there, win by double-digits.

[calteacherguy]

3. I am not so doubtful. nt

[Ishoutandscream2]

6. Agreed. Obama has a great shot here

Don't write off Texas yet.

[Hippo_Tron]

4. If she loses Texas and Ohio Obama will get the 2025 delegates he needs

If she wants to continue in the race after that she is welcome to. But Obama will be running the table at that point and she will have basically no chance.

[calteacherguy]

5. Wouldn't Obama still need a certain number of superdelegates?

[Hippo_Tron]

12. I'm not a number cruncher

But the way the media is playing up Texas and Ohio I think if Obama wins them both then the rest of the states will be his and enough super delegates will have to flock to him.

If Texas and Ohio are split then I'm really going to start preparing for the possibility of a brokered convention.

7. She's up 20 points in Ohio- he just needs to make it close

[calteacherguy]

8. I'm feeling more ambitious tonight.

Obama will have time to spend in Ohio...and Texas. Time is like Oxygen to the Obama campaign.

[Hippo_Tron]

13. To stay in, yes, but if we don't want a brokered convention he needs both Texas and Ohio

[GodlessBiker]

9. I'm an Obama supporter,but I don't think she should drop out until ...

all states get to vote.

[gateley]

14. I agree. So many people have invested so much of themselves into these

campaigns, I'd like to see everyone get a chance to vote.

[PFunk]

10. Only if she loses both

Otherwise both should keep on until the end.

[Zynx]

11. Certainly.

[Redbear]

15. If she loses both of those, she probably will.

They are definitely her firewall.

[Captain Hilts]

16. Pennsylvania doesn't count? nt

[RunningFromCongress]

19. PA matters if TX OH split or both go to clinton. If she loses TX & OH, I think she drops out

If she wins, TX OH and PA with reasonable margins, it's going to get very very hard for Obama to stay in. He needs 1 of the three for sure plus a small margin if he loses. OH is a possibility, I think the latino vote will win clinton TX. PA could be a 49/51, but whomever wins will certainly get a nice momentum boost.

[donheld]

20. Of course PA counts but,

bye that time there could be not enough delegates to do her any good. That's why so many states fought for earlier Primaries and Caucuses. It sucks to be last.

[donheld]

17. She won't have much choice if she loses those two

It'll be over, the fat lady will have done her thing and gone home.

[loveangelc]

18. even if she loses one I think she should...

[joshcryer]

21. She would.

[tekisui]

22. Obama is well within striking distance in Texas.

He has ground to make up in Ohio. His big wins this weekend, and big wins on Tuesday can go a long way in Ohio. But, not necessarily the whole way.

If Clinton loses both, it's over. I expect a split, with Obama maintaining a slight lead in all delegates.

Since Obama has taken the delegate lead, look for more endorsements from superdelegates to help him have a cushion.

[bilgewaterbill]

23. PA won't matter then. Why delay the inevitable?
