"Obama chipping away at Clinton base." (CNN)
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/20/clinton.strategy/

Her commanding lead in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination has vaporized since the Super Tuesday contests two weeks ago, and now, not only is Obama out in front, he's also chipping away at her base.

It is something that is not lost on her husband.

Speaking to a crowd in Beaumont, Texas, Wednesday, former President Bill Clinton said "If she wins in Texas and Ohio I think she will be the nominee. If you don't deliver for her then I don't think she can. It's all on you."

In a speech Wednesday, the New York senator maintained her campaign is moving forward, despite suffering 10 consecutive losses.

1. Uh, sorry Bill...
Even if she wins in both states she's done for. Unless she wins by a hugh landslide. What are the odds of that after losing 10 in a row and squandering virtually all of her locks; slim to none

4. Bill's big mouth has been bad for Hillary.
I don't think that was a very smart thing to say on Bill's part. The voters have a right to choose which candidate best represents their views. It has nothing to do with delivering anything except this country from the hell we've been spiraling into for the last 7 years. If voters think Hillary is the best candidate, they will vote for her, but it's not looking like the voters think that and that's Hillary's fault for not giving them what they want for a candidate.
