to help her? FL and MI will most likely only be reinstated to a 50% delegate level tomorrow, so you need to get back on the 'electability' theme. This sermon appears to have came less than 2 days after Hillary's assassination comments. If I was her strategist, I would seriously contemplate trying to rig up some more controversies, kind of like a war of attrition. Essentially try to raise both hers and Obama's negatives as a last hope for the nomination.

Well, this seems to be Hillary's path to the nomination now. It really is a scorched earth strategy. She's polled most successfully when she drags out Obama's controversies. Bitter-gate was the best example, even sending out flyers about 'clinging to guns' to rural Indiana.

I think this is why the supers will be pressured to vote next week. Hillary's clearest path to the nomination appears to be a scorched earth strategy right now.
