The last two days have raised expectations for Hillary... this helps Obama now....

The "spin" the last two days is that Hillary is surging. This has raised expectations for her campaign and lowered them for the Obama campaign over the past 48 hours.

Now... if there is a swing in delegates of less than 10 toward Hillary, the media narrative will be "too little, too late" for Hillary.

...if Obama ends up WINNING either Texas or Ohio, then the media narrative is "Hillary fails to slow O-mentum".


The last 2 days have raised expectations for the Hillary campaign up to a level where they are predicting a narrow win for her in Texas and a sizeable win for her in Ohio.


But when the dust clears... if the delegates are something like 188-180 for Hillary tomorrow, it will be seen as an Obama victory.


Just watch....

3. Hillary needs to win 65% - 35% and she just may do it. If she doesn't then,
she can't pick up the delegates to win the nomination. She may do it though. She could 65% in both states. If she doesn't, well ...
