Hillary must win Ohio and Texas - Just Ohio is a defeat. No spinning!

[Thepricebreaker]

A week ago it was Hillary Ohio and Texas by wide margins..

Everyone is lowering expectations to keep this alive..

If she loses 1 of the two.. This night was a big win for Obama.

Obama was never supposed to win Texas or Ohio. To win any of them was huge..

Even Bill said she has to win both.. BOTH.

[MadBadger]

1. That is something I agree with. I think she could very well win both, but she needs to win both.

[underpants]

2. What % does she need to win by?

A week or so ago I read here that it had to be 16% in each Tx and Oh to pull even (I think) does that sound right?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

10. 90-10%

Um, er, 57-43.

Everywhere.

[Dbdmjs1022]

3. I agree

I think it's likely Clinton will take one or the other tonight. She may even take both. But if she ONLY takes one, she's done.

[NightWatcher]

4. and she must win with 65-35 numbers

a two point victory nets her 2 delegates or so. At that rate it would take her 75 more states to cut his lead, provided he didnt win any more states...oh wait there are only 14 or so left, d'oh

[def0]

9. Should she win both, the game is guaranteed not over

[BringBigDogBack]

16. Correct, if her victories don't overwhemingly impact the delegate scorecard,

they're all for naught.

[sandnsea]

5. Yeah, that "biased" against Clinton media

This is so stupid.

[jefferson_dem]

6. She needs more than that.

There's no plausible way for her to win the nomination without blowout wins starting today.

[meow mix]

7. she'll continue to spin in order to take in more donations before dropping

for awhile at least..

[City Lights]

8. I think she'll win both tonight, but the question is by how much?

She needs to win by large margins (15-20%) in both to really get back in the game. I don't see that happening.

[book_worm]

11. I hate to say it but I think she is going to win both Ohio and Texas.

[MercutioATC]

12. She doesn't just have to win both...she has to win both by large enough margins

The last time I checked it was something like 15%-18% margins in both states.

[amborin]

13. Ohio, alone, means the candidate wins the GE

Ohio is that important

[anigbrowl]

18. That's a pretty illogical statement

think about it.

[Recursion]

21. Primary performance is not the same as GE performance

Hillary lost VT but I guarantee she would take it in the GE.

[Carolina]

30. Obama lost NY and CA

but I guarantee he would take them in the GE.

[Recursion]

31. Right, I was trying to show a Clinton example...

...lest I be accused of being part of the Vast Obama Conspiracy.

[Thepricebreaker]

14. Kick n/t

[dchill]

15. I agree - she may narrowly take OH...

but that's about it.

[Medusa]

17. Straight from the Big Dog's mouth

So let's hold his feet to the fire.

[mth44sc]

19. She has to win both

and she has to win them hands down.

[washingdem]

20. Agreed

[FlyingSquirrel]

22. She'll stay in if she wins OH and RI

most likely. I am really hoping for an Obama upset in OH, and then we'll see if she really thinks she can make the "buyers' remorse" argument winning just RI.

[surfin]

23. MSNBC showed her winning both and losing delegates

to Obama. Amazing.

[nomorewhopper]

24. Obama might actually pull away tonight if he wins TX

he might get a ton of extra delegates if he does well in texas

tonight might leave hillary farther behind than she started

[loveangelc]

25. we don't know that obama's won texas yet.

the early votes are coming from austin/houston/dallas areas. and the western part of texas still hasn't reported.

[RiverStone]

26. Bill and James Carville said both!

James has said point blank many times - she must win both or it's over (exact quote).

[ChromeFoundry]

27. Spoken from Bill's lips...... n/t

[Maven]

28. ...he said, as he started spinning.

LOL.

[washingdem]

29. Bill Clinton said so
