Clinton's expectations are set for Pennsylvania: 19 points.

SurveyUSA. 3/8-10. Likely voters. MoE 4% (No trend lines)

Clinton 55
Obama 36



This is what she should be expected to do that day. If she meets them, she still won't have the numbers to get her to any reasonable definition of victory, but she has at least done something. Not sure what, but something.

Anything less, and it'll be clear that Obama has eaten into her lead and she's bleeding support and would need to seriously reconsider what is becoming a quixotic bid.

Game on.

1. Until she relocatess the goal posts... nt

2. SUSA is one poll and it won't happen anyway.

Six weeks is an eternity for Obama to close the lead and he will. Hillary had a 20 point lead in Texas 2 weeks before the primary.

4. true but this is where she begins and expectations are an overwhelming win for her

if she doesn't win overwhelmingly it shows her support is being eaten away.

18. There's gotta be better campaigners

for Obama in Penn than rendell is for hilary? I say bring all the big guns to Penn.

3. Texas part deux

19. Oh good then

Obama will win more delegates than Clinton.

[malik flavors]

5. Let us all remember this number. If she wins by anything else, it's a symbol of buyer's remorse...

and a moral victory for the Obama camp. The pressure is now on her to win by atleast 19. If that doesn't happen she done.

6. Don't we have a month to go yet? A week is a long time in politics!

[Tropics_Dude83]

8. Rasmussen Poll:TX-Fri Feb 14-Clinton-54/Obama-38%

Enough said.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

12. February to March is

different than March to April

[TheDoorbellRang]

7. Hmmm. 55-36% So we can assume 9% will vote uncommitted that day?

Folks. These polls are useless at this point. Wait until Obama's been there a week or two before polls matter.

[Vinca]

9. You mean he's only got 19 points to make up in 6 weeks?

That's better than I expected.

[Johnny__Motown]

10. Expectations officially raised, thank you

[global1]

15. And It Was Ed Rendall That Raise Them......

he ended his interview on MSNBC with this smug look on his face and blurted out today's poll numbers.

Some supporter of Hillary. He just set the bar for her - and I'm afraid he set it too soon and too high.

Obama - will eat that lead away.

[BigDDem]

11. In other news...

Obama must win by HUGE amount in Mississippi today or else it's
buyers remorse.

Fun Fact: kos predicted Obama would win New Hampshire by 19 points

:rofl:

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

13. Nothing like setting the bar low for Obama, especially with his "high jumping" abilities.

[Yes We Did]

14. Just remember though...19% lead six weeks to go. Don't forget it.

Because when he beats her by 3 or loses by 5 (which is what will happen) she can't claim that she was the underdog.

[Diane R]

16. So this is the meme we must go with....Clinton MUST win PA by 19%, or drop out of the race.

[sallyseven]

17. No fking way.

Go in Hillary. He will be found out. Just an empty suit.

20. It's a throwdown. Obama should enter the state guns blazing.
