(Fox News) Ickes says it DEFINITELY, or maybe not, will come down the March 4th
Edited on Tue Feb-26-08 11:31 AM by underpants
When the dust settles after next Tuesday’s election battle in Texas and Ohio, Hillary Clinton will know “whether to go forward or not” in the quest for the White House, in the opinion of one of her top campaign strategists.

Harold Ickes made the remark in an interview with political print journalists Monday as Clinton’s campaign faces the daunting task of reversing the trend of Democratic rival Barack Obama, who has now won 11 straight primary contests.

After making the argument that media are showing favoritism toward Obama, Ickes made a rare acknowledgment from within the Clinton campaign: her odds are shrinking.

“I think if we lose in Texas and Ohio, Mrs. Clinton will have to make her decisions as to whether she goes forward or not,” Ickes said, adding the slight caveat “as she has at the end of every other state,” according to the Christian Science Monitor.

But Ickes, who joined Clinton campaign spokesman Phil Singer for the chat with reporters, was optimistic about his candidate’s prospects next week. Clinton and Obama are debating Tuesday night in Ohio, their 20th debate since the campaign season began.

“My view is based on our best judgment at this point, that she will close the gap as a result of those four states on the 4th, but she will still be running behind,” Ickes said.

“We’re on the way to locking this nomination down,” he said at another point. Obama leads Clinton in the Associated Press delegate tally 1,362 to 1,266.
