Bill Clinton: Texas Loss Could Mean The End For Hillary's Campaign

Oh my...et tu, Bill?

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/20/bill-clinton-texas-loss-may-mean-the-end/">(CNN) — Bill Clinton added his voice Thursday to a growing chorus of those who say Hillary Clinton must win both the Texas and Ohio primaries on March 4 to keep her presidential chances alive.

Campaigning in Beaumont, Texas, the former president bluntly told a crowd it's up to them whether his wife's candidacy continues.
"If she wins in Texas and Ohio I think she will be the nominee," he said. "If you don't deliver for her then I don't think she can. It's all on you."

Bill Clinton's comments are his most frank to date about his wife's presidential chances, and comes a day after she suffered her ninth and tenth straight loss to rival Barack Obama.

Earlier Wednesday, Hillary Clinton maintained her campaign is moving forward, though she conceded Obama has had a "couple of good weeks."

"It is time to get real," the New York senator also said. "To get real about how we actually win this election… It is time to move from good words to good works — from sound bites to sound solutions."

Bill Clinton's comments echo those of his one-time adviser James Carville, a current supporter of Hillary Clinton, who recently said of the New York senator, "Make no mistake. If she loses either Texas or Ohio, this thing is done."
The Clinton campaign itself has increasingly placed importance on those two delegate-rich contests following a string of losses, though it has not suggested the New York senator may exit the race should she lose either contest.


TAPS already?
