I think it's quite possible that Clinton will drop out before TX and OH

In fact, I don't think it's unlikely at all. If polls and internals show her solidly losing those states, I think she'll opt to leave the race. Yes, yes, I know about her surrogates talking about Puerto Rico and staying in until the convention, but we know too well that those are often empty promises. It's not just the poll numbers though. Her campaign in in disarray as story after story demonstrates. She has a brand new campaign manager. Her campaign in in debt, she just started her ground game in Texas. Obama's is well established. Her big donors are starting to look askance at how her campaign has been run. She wasn't able to do better than a draw in last night's debate, and her closing statement had the bittersweet flavor of an exit speech.

She's a very bright person and she knows that if she stays in under those circumstances she'll damage her own future, her husband's legacy and gamble on siphoning off political power. She will not make that mistake.

MSM coverage will likely focus more and more on the failings of her campaign and new stories will emerge about it. It can easily become a post-mortem even before her campaign officially dies.

So watch the polls and the type of stories being broadcast over the next week. If both are bad, I think we'll see her making a graceful exit from the battlefield.
