So if Hillary loses 10 in a row by double digits, how does she come back?
I mean, I don't see it. I thought she'd make a stand in Wisconsin but she is now down 10 points or more by all objective measures. This comes on top of losing 8 other states by no LESS than 19 points. Hawaii seems set to be another 60-40 blowout based on some limited polling there.

Her firewalls are collapsing. Obama's internal polls have him down just by 7 in Ohio, Texas is tied according to SUSA and CNN.

The media expects her to at least be competitive in Wisconsin tommorrow. A blowout will kill her hopes at momentum.

Folks, the fat lady is beginning to wind up for Clinton.

1. By winning some big ones.
I'm an Obama guy, but Clinton can still pull it off with solid wins in big states.

5. Solid wins won't be enough...
...If she doesn't 65/35 Obama in Texas, Ohio, AND Pennsylvania, she's toast.

12. The key is "solid." Every one she loses makes it all the more critical to win big
... in the "big ones."

It'll be tough.

3. Obama is from Hawaii. He'd BETTER win there.
Anyone who thinks he won't is dreaming.

Dunno about any other state, though. We'll just have to see, I guess.

6. What time are results supposed to come back from Hawaii, anyway?
I'm EST--I may be fast asleep before a winner is announced.

9. I dunno that either. It'll be pretty obvious fairly early.
I would just ASSUME he'll take Hawai'i. He grew up there, his sister is campaigning for him there.

7. I looked at the late breaking New Hampshire polls and thought HRC might pull it off
So I've never been one to discount her, but this time even I who has been very hesitant to write her off, is about to do so.

She cannot survive a 10-13 point loss in Wisconsin I'm sorry. The "firewalls" will collapse.

10. Well, I have no opinion on Wisconsin. I don't know what is going on there.
She's giving a great talk on CSPAN now. They're showing a town meeting. lots of students AND geezers.

Oh, it's good. Obama already knows.....he's scared at the moment. He will need his knee pads by March 5th. Humbling moments are in the future for the Young Prince.

15. according to the eggheads on tv...
...its almost impossible for her to "mathematically" win at this point. even more so if you start to consider how the polls are changing in favor of obama, especially in the light of his huge cash advantage.

she has to win like 65-35 or 70-30 in TX, Ohio, and Pennsylvania in order to catch up.

Her new plan is to stay competitive and destroy obama so that the superdelegates will "have" to support hillary since obama has become unelectable.

however, bill clinton stated that she'll have to drop out if she doesn't win OH and TX
