2. I wouldn't be surprised to tune into the Convention to see
Big Dawg dragging her out kicking and screaming.

3. She's Gunning For 2012
Nothing short of Obama's destruction will stop her.

5. I have news for Her.......this is her only shot.
Her window of opportunity is rapidly closing and I just don't see anyway she will become POTUS if it does not happen now.

4. If She Loses TX and Barely Inches a Win in Ohio
Hillary will need accept the fact that the Fat Lady Sang. Without winning by 65% margins, she can't catch Obama in delegates. Of course, she's a Clinton and she may turn to the courts to demand the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Then she will look like an even bigger fool that she already does.

8. I don't see it.
if she was going to give up the fight, she would have done so after Wisconsin.

I expect a floor fight at the convention, lawsuits aplenty, and a "scorched earth" policy right to the bitter end.

Which is why, after Wisconsin when there were many olive branches being extended to Hillary supporters here, including some to the nastiest of them, I said "wait a minute, not so quick".

9. I hope so. I think without the "Big State" argument she has nothing to fall back on.

10. The supers will not let that happen.
You have to understand that after this things get REALLLLLLLY SLOW. And it becomes a perfect chance for Republicans to seed more crap and destruction and it gives them extra MONTHS to prepare!

If she loses by small margins then in my view her race is over
If she ties with obama her race is over in my view
If she wins by less than 10-20 percent her race is over in my view

This is IT. She HAS to win BIG BIG BIG or else the supers will be the one to end this. To drag it on another month for anything less will be beyond stupid.

I have a small hope that she will end this on her own terms and not have to force the supers to finish this. Do it Clinton! Take your last bit of respect left and start a run towards 2012!

18. If the wins by anything less then or equal to 10%
She's not going to survive unless she wins by more the 10% in BOTH Texas and Ohio. Figure on RI and Vermont being a split. If that happened she'd gain 70 delegates on Obama.

If she wins both by 5% and RI and Vermont hold the same she'll gain only 36.

If she wins Ohio by 5%, loses Texas narrowly and RI and Vermont hold the same, she'll gain only 14.

11. I doubt it
her main concern seems to be herself and not the Democratic Party or even the good of the country. :-(

12. No, she will have no problem doing the Huckabee, regardless of how it hurts us in the gen. election
1 I highly doubt she will lose both states.
2 Penn and everyone else keep on moving the goalposts so
3 it will take outside pressure for her to drop out which
4 isn't going to happen unless she loses both states

She will take this to the convention even if it helps McCain win.

16. She'll keep her bitter ass in it til the convention...it's called sabatoge.
Only in hopes of keeping Obama's attention on her and not McCain...if she can't be the Dem who wins the nomination she's going to sabatoge the whole process.

Dropping out right after her Tuesday losses would allow Obama to start taking on McCain..which is what NEEDS to happen. Her sabatoge will be her revenge against the whole Democratic Party. If a Dem wins the Nov election, she can't try to run in 4 years..but she can try if a repuke wins this time around.

She knows damn well what she's doing.

17. No. The chance of a bad press report which affects Obama is pretty good.
She will stay in until at least summer.
