A narrow victory by a couple of percent will be spinned as Hillary on the comeback.

2. LOL, nice spin
Hillary was winning before Iowa. A loss will be a loss for her.

You trotted out this same line before Iowa. It was bullshit then, and its even more so now.
Hillary needs to win NH. Anything short of that for her, and its all over but the crying.

All Obama has to do is to continue to win, be it by a point or by five.

7. NH was Hillary's firewall
Any loss here by her is devestating.

20. Oh but she will win Michigan...maybe. The ballot only has Clinton, Gravel, Dodd, Kucinich named but
there is a "Uncommitted" option.

I'm hearing rumblings that "uncommitted" just might win.

9. I don't think so
Considering she was winning there by large margins all year and considering she is from the northeast, she should win.

10. "will be spinned as Hillary on the comeback" - By who, you?
Everyone else will "spin" it as a loss.

25. If Senator Obama can't
meet the fantasy standards expressed in this OP, I think Americans will turn on him in record numbers. It is amazing how skillfully that standard was slipped in on an unsuspecting public.

Also, we're waiting on that Holy Grail, Obama. *taps toe*

35. He claimed that
he discovered America. Is this true? I mean, can we trust him? I'd like to be inspired, but what if he didn't discover America?

14. HRC new strategy is to say she covered the spread.
Lot of good that will do if the news story is Hillary takes third again.

15. Hillary was up by 20 points just three months ago.
Shouldn't they spin it as a huge comeback for Obama?

He's polling about 12 points ahead right now, so I guess he beats the spread and Hill loses again !
