If this were a sporting event, its late in the 4th quarter and the Clinton campaign is taking the field. The question now is if they can morph into Eli Manning and deliver a come from behind victory? If the answer is no, then the Clinton campaign will not exist in 24 hours from the time of this post.

Bill Clinton made it clear: Hillary needs to win both Texas and Ohio for this primary to continue. The polls in both states have been very fluid for the past two weeks, with Clinton’s double-digit lead in both states evaporating into a virtual tie. Over the weekend, Clinton seems to have turned the tide in Ohio, and one poll now has her up 6 points there. Texas remains within the margin or error, so it will mostly likely come down to each campaigns get out the vote effort.

The Clinton campaign insights that they will fight on after Tuesday, but more likely than not, those comments are to bolster financial supporters. If they do lose both Ohio and Texas it will be difficult to make the argument to stay in - especially after already losing 11 primaries in a row.

Blogflict has said this time and time again - never count out a Clinton, especially a Clinton on the ropes. They are at their best when everyone else thinks they are down for the count.
