Hillary's Last Chance

I thought of this yesterday, but didn't have the time to post it.

Hillary needs to go all out in Oregon. The theory is better stated here.

[T]here is one last chance for the Clinton campaign: make Oregon definitive. Everyone knows she's going to win Kentucky and West Virginia. Everyone expects her to lose in Oregon. If she throws down the gauntlet and says: "Oregon is it. Obama has home field advantage. If he wins, I'm out. If I win, we go all the way to the convention. Game on."

Who, really, could resist? Certainly not the cable networks! And the state is home to millions of white people.

Agreed. You may not see this strategy until after West Virginia next Tuesday, but I think it is her last opportunity to shake up the race. It probably won't make a difference, but as her chances go from remote to minuscule, this is probably her best option.
