Even longtime Clinton ally James Carville is acknowledging that Hillary is in trouble, saying that if she loses the March 4 primary in either Texas or Ohio, her campaign is doomed.
Speaking at the International Builders Show in Florida on Wednesday, Carville — a top adviser to Bill Clinton in the 1990s — declared:
“She’s behind. Make no mistake. If she loses either Texas or Ohio, this thing is done.”
After his recent resounding wins in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., Barack Obama holds a narrow lead over Clinton in total delegates, 1,272 to 1,231, although Hillary leads in superdelegates, 242 to 156, the New York Post reports.
But Obama leads in the polls in Wisconsin, which holds its primary on Feb. 19. And while recent polls in Ohio and Texas show Clinton ahead, her support among Hispanic-Americans — considered crucial in Texas — has been waning, and political analyst Dick Morris has predicted that Hillary will lose in Ohio, as well as in Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
With her back against the wall, Clinton on Wednesday unleashed a strident attack ad against Obama, saying: “I am in the solutions business. My opponent is in the promises business. I think we need answers, not question.”

That dog won’t hunt, Carville!
Give us some more cajun wisdom.
Have you passed out any more hundred dollar bills to try to find more Paula Jones type girls, Carville?

It’s not over until the crazy man puts a trashcan on his head.

Who does Carville think is the best president on Day One?
I know he works for CNN and not technically part of the campaign.
Bill says he thinks Hillary is the best qualified candidate he’s been able to vote for in his lifetime. And that he would vote for her even if they weren’t married.

D*ck with ears... just sayin’ - that’s what it looks like.
Oh, and a tie...

Dick Morris, I think a year ago, said Hillary would be elected, no question about it. so much for predictions.
To: wastedyears
These two
will end up on the same ticket together. The only question now is which order.
Either way, Hillary becomes POTUS. Can anyone say "Ft. Marcy Park"?

SO do I, especially since McCain just came out of nowhere!
I don’t know ANYONE who supports him, yet he is WAYYYY ahead.
It is all so fishy.

Predicting a loss is a setup for "a huge comeback"...an unbelievable comeback...an unprecedented comeback...
It's kinda like a Queen receiving a CROWN.
But look close....the diamonds are still in the rough...COAL!!
