That would be a good case scenario! I was stunned when I heard that. If she is so strong in those states why would the quietly admit that netting 15 would be a good thing?

1. That will not get her anywhere close to home.
If that's a best case scenario...she's finis.

2. Shes lowering expectations again. This is what it means
and it shocked me to hear it too. Well not shocked, but disappointed. I'm coming to terms that we're going to have a damaged party come June. It means even if Obama still leads by 100 or so delegates after OH and TX, she will keep going until we get to the convention. She is also going to campaign VERY HARD according to Chuck, for those MI and FL delegates. Chuck said their campaign conceded that they probably won't catch up to Obama in terms of delegates, but now they're playing a perception game. If Obama loses OH and TX even by 2 points *according to Hillarys camp* they will still move forward and will argue to the super delegates that she wins the big states, even if by 2 points. She at this point, is trying to win any way she can, even if it means cheating to win.

4. That's nice.
If she does that, I won't vote for her. I'm not going to play around with someone that's willing to break the rules SHE agreed to, or play such a dirty game that it damages the party.

I'm 100% fine with those two states holding caucuses. They're the ones that messed up, and if it costs them money, then maybe next time they'll think about that first. But I do not believe it's fair to seat those delegates under the current circumstances.

In my opinion, she'll be no better than * when it came down to the FL vote. Any way to win, even in cheating.

5. I'm with you
If she goes down that road, kiss the independent vote goodbye. They'll either go for McCain, third party, or just sit out the presidential vote and see what happens.

Please dems, don't fuck this one up. The country needs for ya'll to get your shit in gear.

6. If she goes this route, and wins this way, I'm writing in Obama in November

3. If she does this poorly, does that give Obama a chance of actually
winning the nomination, or will he still need the votes of super delegates?

7. Why would anyone bother with MSNBC? You are actually
listening to Chuck Todd, Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough?? Good God, change the channel.
