So..before the results come in..per centage question?
If Obama wins by under 10.. say..7 or 8..will Obama supporters admit that Clinton has done well..
I have seen some Obama folks claim he will win by 20..30 points..a blowout..
On the same token..
what per centage will convince Hillary supporters that she is in dire straits?
As a Hillary supporter..I would be please with a second place finish by less than 9.
If she comes in 3rd..I think she's in deep trouble..

1. No one thinks 20 or 30 points — that's South Carolina. NT

8. No, the OP is right
Some have been saying 15-20%+.

2. The polls showed an average of an 8 point lead
So if Hillary comes within 5 or so, she'll have done well.

4. You're basing your expectations on today's polls.
Look back even a week at NH - I don't think you can say losing by 9 is doing well.

9. How is that bashing? You asked a questions and I answered it,
thoughtfully, I thought.

5. 2nd place is still 2nd place
no matter how close it is. Espessially in a state she was suppose to win, and enjoyed a long term lead.

7. If she loses by 5% or less, it's a good showing for her
Neither she nor Edwards should drop out -- hell, NONE of the top three should -- until the convention.
