Reason # 3 is a beaut and it would also help her but not in TX.

Increasingly it seems like Clinton is adopting the Rudy strategy: go only where you are SURE to win. That worked well for Ghouliani until it didn't work in FL - the only state he thought he was sure to win in among the early primaries.

There's some irony in Hillary being the candidate that said she was ready to govern from Day One and her team's apparent lack of any advance plan to deal with any opponent that proved her 'electability' and 'inevitability' arguments to be without substance. Being ready means anticipating opposition and undercutting it in advance. She fails the test.

As is said, when the heat in kitchen gets hottest, watch those who retreat to the TV room to catch up on the soaps. She seems to be running away instead of toward being chosen as the people's choice for the Dem. party nomination.

You know, I'm not sure why she has ceded giant chunks of this primary by not putting up a big fight. Considering Mark Penn's obsession with building a majority by amassing small parts, it doesn't make sense for her to give up in states where she might nonetheless lose.

Perhaps a part of this is the fact that she can't win, regardless of how hard she fights, but you would think that she'd recognize that the margin of victory is essential, even in tiny places. She lost 6 delegates in the Virgin Islands, which was bigger than the spread of Hillary's victories in New Mexico, New Hampshire, Nevada, Arizona, and Alabama. It was bigger than Obama's margin of victory in Missouri, Connecticut, Delaware, Nebraska, and Utah.

For someone whose campaign is willing to target the "archery mom" vote, they seem to be missing out on the fact that ceding even one election on a tiny island can outweigh a tight win in several other states.

it would also help her but not in THX.
