Poll question: Bill and James have said Hillary MUST WIN both OH & TX on Tues or it's over - do you agree?
2/20/08
Bill Clinton:

If she wins Texas and Ohio I think she will be the nominee. If you don't deliver for her, I don't think she can be. It's all on you," the former president told the audience at the beginning of his speech.

James Carville

At a trade show in Orlando, Fla., today, where he and his wife Mary Matalin made a speaking appearance, James Carville, an adviser to Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., made a candid assessment of Clinton's chances.

"She’s behind," Carville said, according to the Orlando Sentinel (LINK). "Make no mistake. If she loses either Texas or Ohio, this thing is done."

If Hillary does NOT win in both TX and OH on Tuesday, should she concede that it is over?

2. She needs to win both
I suspect she will stay in the race if she splits the states (winning Ohio and losing TX), but the math really does not add up for her beyond that.

3. She needs to win both TX and OH to stay in the race. Obama just needs one of those.

4. I think it's already over
but they will move the goalposts again and give as their new reason to stay in the 35 million bucks they raised in February. They'll say "the people have spoken and they want us to stay in the race" watch-I GUARANTEE that will be the new excuse

5. The Clintons constantly rearrange the goalposts.
I have this feeling she will have to have her bony fingers pried from the bid, hit with an animal tranquilizer blow dart, and dragged away.
