She can't find a better bunch of supporters than the team over there. So if they're jumping ship - maybe it's a sign. :shrug:

4. I'm with Obama but this ain't true |
|
It becomes harder and harder for HRC, true. But it's still doable for a bit yet.

She needs to win TX, OH and PA by more than 65%. Barring a terrorist attack or something equally dramatic, it's just not going to happen.

16. I don't think it's true, either |
|
I think that Sen Obama will have to continue to run hard and continue to win convincingly so he can make an argument for himself at the convention.

7. I am supporting Obama now, but no way that is true. |
|
Obama will win Wisconsin by 10-15 points tonight. Hillary is still in this thing if she wins Ohio and Texas. The victory margin tonight has nothing to do with that.
Hillary will have plenty of money to compete in those states, and will go for broke. Now, if there is a split on March 4 then we can say it is over.

12. With two head to head debates coming up it can not be over tonight |
|
No matter what happens tonight the nation's attention will be focused on Hillary and Obama debating one on one twice. Even if people don't focus on the first debate as much, if they assume the race is "over", if Hillary does real well in that one people will tune in for the second debate.
Historically, this year and others, debates have changed election momentum. Even in multi party Democratic debates, the NH one shifted momentum away from Clinton to Obama while the SC one did the opposite.
Way too much can happen in two weeks to call this one over no matter what happens tonight.

25. If it's a blowout in WI then the debate really won't matter much. |
|
Obama will have the front-runner status and needs basically just to stay cool and fend off any attacks. He doesn't need to attack, just look Presidential. Hillary attacking him is a 2-edged sword for her, can easily backfire.

15. They are idiots, and they are betraying the Exit polling, I guess |

Yes, it's so "over."

17. They're just trying to save her |
|
She should win by 20, so she just has to keep her margin of victory around 20 and it's over for Obama.

18. Many on this forum have been telling us it was over after she won in New Hampshire. |
|
She's never even had a legitimate win.

24. The only person dumber than a Republican |
|
is a Faux News or CNN talking head. This thing is far from over, and they know it.
Often the MSM unknowingly (or knowingly? :tinfoilhat: ) says things that become self-fulfilling prophecies. The uninformed hear this shit on CNN and assume that the talking heads know their ass from a hole in the ground, and that the race is over.
