There's a "keep going" win and a "change the dynamic" win
Chuck Todd on MSNBC just termed Clinton's future after tomorrow that way.

If she wins in mid to high single digits, that's a "keep going" win ....... even though there is virtually NO chance she can win on delegates.

If she wins in double digits, then she can say the race's dynamic has changed. Even then, all she gets is maybe a net 10 in delegates, so, in reality, even a double digit win is largely just about getting the rights to spin shit.

We'll be regaled with balloons and snappy tunes from the ballroom of the Bellevue as she smiles and waves and acts all gracious and confident and victorious and talk of fighting on for the American people.

But, off in the wings ......... the fat lady has been rehearsing all week and her pipes are warm and ready for a full throated warble. Can we please just let her sing?

Please?

I'm an American people. Don't fight on on my behalf, okay?

2. Has Chuck Todd lost his mind?
A "keep going" win? As in "keep going with the BS"?

4. How can she keep going if she is in debt?

5. Well, it'd be kind of odd to win a major state then drop out of the race, despite the overall math
Not that I wouldn't like her to drop out, but it would be a little bizarre to drop out after winning the latest contest. My guess is she wins by less than 10 points, stays in the race, and Obama upsets her in Indiana and its over.
