Poll question: Is the Clinton Campaign in Crisis Mode Now?
Lost 8 in a row by WIDE margins
Replaced 2 top campaign people
Loaned themselves 5 million to compete...
way behind in cash on hand
losing working people
losing more and more women
losing momentum
message is getting lost
ghouliani "firewall" strategy
begging for more debates
getting ready to go back to negative campaigning
etc...
out of steam?

simple question.

1. Remember, The crazy old man McCain was in a similar situation
Suddenly flush with cash and now the presumptive nominee.
If those who tell us who we get to vote for deem it, she will make it to the convention.

2. one exception to the mclame's situation is that was over the summer and fall...
it is now the spring of clinton's discontent...time is running out, mclame still had time to right his ship.

the clinton's are very skilled so i don't count them out yet, but time and momentum is not on their side.

10. No, that was an entireley different situation.
McCain's situation happened in a much earlier phase of the campaign, and most importantly, McCain didn't have any opponent who came even close to Obama's political skills. So just because McCain came back doesn't mean that Clinton can.

3. Why Doyle got the boot
Clinton was told time and again that she would end it on February 5.

All the talk of Clinton REALLY winning on Super Tuesday has been thoroughly discredited by events. They literally had no plan for what to do if Obama stuck it out past Super Tuesday. That much is clear. The Super Tuesday tie was, for that reason, a huge Obama victory.

6. if the campaign is not in crisis mode....
...it is not being honest with itself.

this is the time for that campaign to fight for its life. if they don't acknowledge this, they will sink.

9. YES! they had a bad plan with no backup plan...
they weren't talking to each other and now people are being fired. I can't understand how anyone at this point can believe Hillary is capable of running this country. She can't even run an effective campaign.

11. Yes, Campaign Clinton is in Crisis Mode. Going All-in on Texas/Ohio
She has correctly concluded that she DOA if she cannot win both Texas and Ohio.

They can keep the campaign on life support if she wins both of them, even by thin margins, but if she loses either, they might as well pull the plug.

12. If it's in crisis now...
... just imagine how shrill the Hillbots will become when the campaign starts going down the bowl.
