So What If Clinton Wins?
With Ohio favoring Clinton, though narrowly, and Texas essentially a toss-up, everyone, myself included, expects Obama’s recent momentum to take him over the top, at least in Texas, if not Ohio.
But what if that’s not the case? What if Hillary wins both Ohio and Texas, even if by the thinnest of margins?
I think the answer is very simple. That means she stays in until the convention. I said below that I believe that a Texas loss means that Hillary will pull a Romney and pull out within a week (though not immediately), as her advisors and donors go to work on her. But if she wins both Texas and Ohio, she stays in until Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania is not until Aprill 22nd(!).
And if you’re in that long, why not go all the way?…
If she wins both, why not stay. The press seems ready to regret its Obamania a bit. Time for some “Comeback Kid” stories.
I think she stays in even if she loses Texas narrowly, btw. Her money raising seems better and there is a lot of feminist support for her still. A win in Ohio just makes it barely plausible enough to stagger on and hope for an Obama error. He has run a perfect campaign, its time for a mistake/scandal or two. Obama cannot get enough delegates to win without super delegates in any event.
