I like how the MSM and Hillary are ignoring Wyoming and Mississippi
Wyoming votes on March 8 in a caucus and Mississippi March 11 in a primary. Obama is favored to win both in a landslide. I don't think Hillary is even trying there (which may be indicative of her general election strategy).

Say she eeks out wins in Ohio and Texas, wins RI, and loses Vermont. So she leaves March 4 with a small net pickup in delegates, but is still behind. Then Obama wins easily in Wyoming and Mississippi, and erases whatever pickup she may have achieved on March 4.

4. She's ignoring Mississippi but not Wyoming ...
at least judging by her campaign's conference call today- they talked about how they were making preparations for Wyoming and Pennsylvania, but no mention of Mississippi.

I think that's a mistake- she's going to lose Mississippi regardless, but margin of victory obviously counts. Obama understands that, which is why he will be in Providence, Rhode Island on Saturday.

6. Oh cmon man, those states don't count
Mississippi has a very proud African American population and Wyoming is a Caucus. Those are meaningless primaries.

7. If HRC does do well on Mar. 4th, and Obama wins both big, that could stop whatever Momentum she gets
