For the rest of February, get used to seeing Clinton concession speeches and Obama victory speeches

This Saturday..... then this Tuesday.... then the 19th......


Each time... Hillary will address her supporters first.... and then Obama will go on in prime time claiming another victory.


Psychologically, with the viewing public around the country, Obama will begin to take on the "air of a winner". Voters in later states like Ohio, Texas, and PA will take notice.


People like to side with the winner.... and Obama will be getting a month of victory speeches.


Then... when she is behind in delegates, and she makes a play for the FL and MI delegates to be seated, she will be viewed as a whiny "sore loser". The public will turn on her. More importantly, the Superdelegates... 400 of which are currently uncommitted... will go to Obama in droves in response.



I'm just sayin'....

6. WTF about "lowering expectations" do Obama supporters not understand?
