Bill Clinton: Texas Could Be Hillary's Last Stand Former President Tells Lone Star Crowd Wife Needs Wins in Texas and Ohio By RICK KLEIN and SARAH AMOS
Feb. 20, 2008 —
There's a Texas-sized stumbling block on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's comeback trail.
Even Clinton's most devoted surrogate -- her husband, Bill Clinton -- acknowledged the do-or-die stakes on Wednesday in Beaumont, Texas, conceding that a loss in Texas or Ohio would likely doom her candidacy.
"If she wins Texas and Ohio I think she will be the nominee; if you don't then I don't think she can. It's all on you," the former president told the audience at the beginning of his speech.
A series of demographic and organizational challenges are coming together to make the Lone Star State an extraordinarily difficult venue for Clinton, with her campaign needing a decisive win to overcome Sen. Barack Obama's growing edge in convention delegates.
With polls showing the race essentially tied, several independent political analysts say that even if Clinton takes an overwhelming share of Latino voters, she will be hard-pressed to carry the state, much less capture a large share of delegates.
And the unique way that Texas awards delegates could force Clinton to take as much as 55 percent of the state's vote just to break even in the battle for delegates, said Richard Murray, director of the University of Houston's Center for Public Policy.
"They've gotten some bad breaks here," Murray said. "Texas is not well set-up for her, and the Obama people have figured that out. It's tough but they've got no choice. They must win down here, and win convincingly."

Or the Little Big Horn.
Yep, Bill has those divorce papers ready once Hillary drops out.
Huge turnout for the Obama Rally here in Dallas today.
I homeschool all four of my children (all under 14), and I’ve been getting lots of comments from adults lately who are telling me how informed my children are about the debates and the Presidential candidates. One of my children told my Dad (Grandpa) that “Mrs. Clinton shouldn’t be the President because she let her husband have a girlfriend when he was President.”
So cute - and so disgusting that I have to teach my children history, and find ways to get around the R rated former presidential facts.
My 6 year old told someone that President Clinton was a peach because he lied about having a girlfriend. LOL!

Anyone here actually in Texas?
What is really going to happen there?
I cannot believe that Latinos are going to vote Obama in any significant number at all.
Mrs. Clinton wins, he's one of the most powerful men in the world ...again.
Mrs. Clinton loses, he's a free man!
I was sworn in as an honorary Texan by Hayden Fry about 20 years ago...
Dude, you’re funny. LOL!
Obalamo
She's got riflemen ready in Dallas?
My very conservative wife voted early today and voted for Obama.
I am still considering but wow, it'd be hard to mash the button for a rat, even in a primary....much less be listed as one on the voter roles. Yesh.
I am in West Texas. Bill Clinton was here on Saturday and only had 1500 people show up. Obama is renting the Texas Tech Arena on Feb 28th and they are expecting a big crowd.. that place holds 15,000. I voted early today because we get two weeks of early voting. From those I saw in line.... they were switching parties and going to vote against Hillary, but it is hard to tell. I think Spanish population will go with HIllary.
The reference is to Little Big Horn.
I wonder what her scalp will fetch on Ebay.
Hehe, I might have to add intolerable to my screen name...
The defenders of the Alamo met their end with honor. I don't think we can expect the same from Mrs. Clinton.
Okay, I will say it: if Hillary does not win either Texas or Ohio, that means she will never, ever be President. And that will be the end of her and Bill’s marriage. Look for a divorce in the near future if that happens. Because she will never forgive Bill for not making it happen for her. The charade will be over.
You don’t believe in HOPE? Or CHANGE? (sic)....
You are right on. Texans better remember what Bill and Hill did there, and blamed it on Reno.
