http://www.cbsnews.com/news/on-super-tuesday-hillary-clinton-speaks-with-caution/"I don't know," Clinton told reporters who asked her about where she expected to win Tuesday during a campaign stop at the Midtown Global Market in Minneapolis. "We are working hard everywhere, and I know it is hard and all we can do is help people turn out for the primaries and the caucuses and we just want to do as well as we can."

Additionally, an NBC News/Survey Monkey poll released Tuesday showed Clinton with a double-digit lead over rival Bernie Sanders, 51 percent to 41 percent.
Pundits have been predicting trouble for Clinton's rival, Bernie Sanders, ever since Clinton trounced him in the South Carolina primary, winning by nearly 50 points. Asked whether Sanders will have a path forward to the Democratic nomination if he performs poorly Tuesday, Clinton said, "I am not going to comment on that."
Good tactic. It's never over until the votes are in.

(7,286 posts)Bernie Sanders aint gonna roll over. He and his supporters hate the Democratic party and are hell bent on destroying it. He will campaign past June and all during that time they will shred our candidate and our party every chance they get.
The revolution ends with Bernie and it will be a bitter end

(1,968 posts)caution on that as well. Clinton has two good weeks coming, then the field weakens a bit. I'd rather see the focus remain strongly on the Primary until at least then to minimize any Sanders gains and decrease the perception of a "comeback." Which it isn't as the field turns adverse again in early April, but you know the media...
Given the relative danger he presents to her and the party (modest, but there) and the fact that he could put a few cracks in her armor before June, let's put him away before moving on to Trump.
June to November is a long time, and it's not like the campaign can't multi-task.

(7,286 posts)He is not going to be elected. That leaves the path to the WH wide open and that prize may be worth a prolonged primary fight for BS
