Some Top Clinton Backers Worry Campaign Is "Slipping Away"

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her advisers increasingly believe that, after a series of losses, she has been boxed into a must-win position in the Ohio and Texas primaries on March 4, and she has begun reassuring anxious donors and superdelegates that the nomination is not slipping away from her, aides said on Monday.


Mrs. Clinton held a buck-up-the-troops conference call on Monday with donors, superdelegates and other supporters; several said afterward that she had sounded tired and a little down, but determined about Ohio and Texas.

They also said that they had not been especially soothed, and that they believed she might be on a losing streak that could jeopardize her competitiveness in those states.

1. No way - she can't be losing - she's so much "tougher" than Obama
he just wants to sing kumbaiya with his opponents but Hillary is ruthless and determined. No way a tough veteran campaigner with 35 years of experience standing up to the right wing is gonna let herself get ground into the ground by some softy like "Obambi".

So WTF went wrong? It looks like maybe Obama ain't the wuss she and her advisors (and Bubba) thought he was. Guess all that experience didn't help much.
