What Can Hillary Do To Win?

Response...

There really is nothing left they can do.

It is Obama's to lose only.

Like today with the "mailer" hub-ub. It was very strategic on Hillary's part. Here is why...

On a SATURDAY come out hard on a mailer that has been out there for weeks... why?

Because all the SUNDAY morning talk shows will bring it up. Pretty good move right?

Well, not really. The messages in those mailers are basically true. So once questioned, the Clinton surrogates are put in a hard spot. I mean, her health plan DOES have mandates and she DID support NAFTA. So what are they going to say? "Obama was mean for pointing this out".

The goal here has nothing to do with the subject matter (Health Care or NAFTA). The Clinton campaign wants her to look STRONG / TUFF while they portray Obama as MEAN / UNINSPIRING.

Problem for Clinton is that she has done so many cheap hit jobs on him that people just roll their eyes now. It only plays with folks that already support her.

So, I think this is at a stage where it is really Obama's to lose. Unless he says TWO really stupid things (outright gaffs) that make him look foolish or some undisclosed secret comes to light... it is over.

I think it was over after Wisconsin voted... Texas and Ohio are just about saving face.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY SHE CAN WIN UNLESS OBAMA COMPLETELY BLOWS IT.

It is just plain simple delegate math and the fact she will be out of cash one week from Tuesday.
