Today, Bill Clinton said that Hillary will concede if she loses Texas or Ohio.
I am someone who believes that it is VERY dangerous to ever underestimate a Clinton. They are tough and battle forged and their eye is focused laser like on the prize.
At the same time, I've been wondering how they would play the game were they to bring it to a conclusion. Here's a story that makes me wonder whether serious signals aren't being sent.
Update "?"
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.

Bill Clinton: Texas or Bust for Hillary
"If she wins Texas and Ohio I think she will be the nominee. If you don't deliver for her, I don't think she can be. It's all on you," the former president told the audience at the beginning of his speech.
Clinton to Stand Down if She Loses Ohio or Texas
I think this is major. I'm interested in what people think. I saw this on TPM and am surprised I haven't seen it here. All of the handwringing about "incendiary" "nuclear" etc. may very well be for naught.
Of course, Bill could just be rallying the troops. And I don't doubt that they may be going into this with everything they got...but boy, this is the first I heard of it and I think it means that the surrender will be sooner than later.
