....this puts her right back to looking like she thinks she in inevitable. That's something she has tried to shake off for a year now.

It colors their thinking.

But this is about the narrative over the next week before NH. It's meaningless at the convention, but it could effect every primary after this.

Clinton should be exposed for the liar she always is.

It makes her look like a bad sore sport.

The only ones who are going to pat her on the back for it, are old guard politicians.

Her campaign may think that if they create the impression at this point that she won, whether or not she actually did, that it will help her in Nevada, Co, and Super Tuesday(they've probably conceded NH at this point).

....if she ends up being wrong, is going to be stronger.

Headlines in a paper are obsolete.

Oh, I see that was already taken upthread.

First to call it, gets it. I'm sure that's how this voting thing works.

And if Sanders ends up winning in the end, she can still say Sanders fell short of expectations.

It's the same BS she tried over and over again in 2008 against Obama. My personal favorite was when she claimed victory in Nevada and it turns out Obama won more delegates than her because her team was full of morons who didn't understand that the nomination was about delegates and not popular vote.

There were 6 super-delegates committed to her out of 52 total. Bernie would have to get all 7 remaining to beat her.

But it was a dumb thing to do. That old Dewey Defeats Truman photo will be all over the place tomorrow.

You'd think candidates would avoid doing it just so they don't Dewey themselves.

And this is only the first contest.

If the trend continues, she's gonna look pretty silly.

So much so that she'd never understand that declaring victory in a subjective competition was in bad taste.

...how ballsy! I hope that the press nail her for this. I like Hillary, but that was not cool.

That's why

I'm just taken for granted. A pawn. No more.

The moral indignation is righteous.
