Hillary's biggest problem right now

This my take on how the next few days are going to are going to play out.

It isn't the money. It isn't the math. It's the media. She is about to become Huckabee in their eyes if she keeps campaigning.

What was Huckabee a punchline. Huckabee went with it because I think he enjoyed becoming a national figure. Hillary already is a national figure. She risk damaging her reputation by staying in and her position with the party.

She has a 24-48 hour grace period. Than the knives come out. If you think they were bad as a Hillary supporter before...watch out.

Hillary can't go appearing on the morning shows or any other show because the first 10 minutes of any interview will be her explaining how she can still possibly win. With the interviewer expressing massive skeptism. She won't get any issue she wants to talk about it. All the questions are going to be why aren't you a loser?

The media is also stubborn. They called this last night. Matthews, Russert, Stephanopolis, and Wallace all called this. Once they call something they call it and they will bias their reporting fairly or not to show how she's out of this. Even if she had a chance she doesn't in their eyes and that is what they will report.

Eventually they are going to ignore her because she won't be a story anymore. She might get some local coverage but not as much before. Also her crowds aren't going to be as big because the national media will be repeating the loser narrative.

The only way she will be able to get coverage is by ruthlessly attacking Obama. She does that the party stops her by a massive endorsement for Obama and ends it in a day. Loyal supporters like Feinstien made that warning shot today.
