Clinton is done if she comes in 3rd in SC
It will be a sign of things to come in the rest of the South. That alone will allow Obama to weather whatever proportinal delegate wins that Hillary MIGHT be able to get on Super Tuesday.

My new prediction, if Hillary comes in third, is a Delegate Victory on Super Tuesday for Obama.

4. Don't worry, she's well aware of that, which is why she's acting so desperate.

38. No, actually I have the best reputation for First Sticks in ER.
I typically run a "lock-n-load" pattern when my Team gets bogged down. I am the best.

7. I don't think so. The Clintons will say and do anything to win, no matter what the cost
You can never count those kinds of people out.

11. Mason/Dixon still has her a strong 2nd in SC, but many other polls show her falling close to Edwards
I agree; it's going to be hard to spin a 3rd place finish.

12. I support Obama...Hilllary is far from done if she finishes third
But it means she may have to conded the South for Super Tyreday and fight it out to the covention delegate by delegates. If She does not win California.... I think she has mahor problems however.

22. I don't think they give up either...
I just don't think they'll have a path to the nomination.

14. Even Edwards said he will finish 3rd
Polls have it at about 38% Obama : 30% Clinton

18. Clinton won't give up and will probably win. SC is just one state, and a red one at that.
Although I do hope you're right.

I just think the writing will be on the wall, and she won't have a path to the nomination.

31. I think her path is winning big on super Tuesday.
Not very complicated really.

36. Try to follow along: If she comes in third in SC, that bodes poorly for her in the south
and she will not be able to gain any ground on Obama with smalle, proportional wins in CA and other ST states.

21. No. (Unfortunately.)
She's ahead in California and Ohio and Florida and a bunch of other Super Dooper Tuesday delegate-rich states. It might be all over for everybody but her on February 6th.

The best we can hope for is that SC gives Obama 50+ and John Edwards comes in a solid second, giving both significant momentum leading up to Feb. 5th, in order to change (?!) those numbers significantly.

28. What Florida have to do with anything? And California is proportional. She's not winning big enough
there to make that a "must win" state for Obama.

37. Obama is done nationally if he can't get more than 10-11% of the white vote
Hillary will be fine on Super Tuesday. Will Obama?

We get it, SC whites aren't flocking to Obama. I never expected them to.

41. Although I like Obama and Edwards
I think the DLC, and corporations, along with the media already have Hillary's ticket punched. I don't trust any polls after what happened in NH.
