Super Tuesday played right into Hillary's strengths... she won't ever see that again
Was there a more favorable line of states than what she saw today? Connecticut, Delaware, Massachussetts, New York, New Jersey.... all states in the Northeast that play right into her base and play right into her political machine. Liberal blue states that she should have dominated.

As we move past Super Tuesday, the states she will visit become more and more unfamilar to her and she doesn't have that built-in advantage that she had on Super Tuesday.

That would bother me the most as a Clinton strategist. With the way Super Tuesday was set up, she should have dominated, especially in her region. She won't ever see that type of situation again.

I still think this is going to a brokered convention, but the Clinton campaign has to be ultimately dissapointed they couldn't put Obama away.

2. Well I think you're right but I"m nervous about Ohio and Texas
I'd be lying if I didn't say those are two uphill battles

Obama could run off 8 victories between now and then.

4. Made a similar thread earlier. Feb. 5 was Hillary's best shot.
It was essentially a huge primary which emphasized northeast and southwest states with large latino populations. From here out, its sporadic and the demographics favor Obama.
