Obama Nerves
A few days ago, I criticized the Clinton spinsters for stupid, implausible horse race expectations spin--they said Obama had to win everywhere in order to be considered a winner on March 4--and so it's only fair to note that Obama spinster David Plouffe is now doing the very same thing:
If they do not win Texas and Ohio by healthy double digit margins – and they led by healthy double digit margins as recently as two weeks ago - they will be facing almost impossible odds to reverse the delegate math.
Plouffe's statement is marginally less obnoxious than the Clinton spin, since it happens to be true: If Clinton doesn't start Winning...Big...Everywhere, she's not going to win the nomination...But the Obama campaign has been notable for usually refusing to indulge in this sort of spin-nonsense--and so it's notable that they're doing it now. Gotta wonder: Are they worried that tomorrow won't go so well?
