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 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.
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.

You have to have voters motivated to get out there and vote.
Harris county (Houston) went for Jessie Jackson when he ran, and Obama is a much more serious contender.
Hispanics historically do not have a fondness for African Americans. This may be a leftover from the days when their ancestors transported slaves and had to build up some kind of psychological mechanism to allow them to trade in human bondage. (They are sub human, they are not as good as me, and etcetera)
But are the Hispanics motivated to go out and vote for Hillary? And what about the white vote?
Here's a question. What if you are a democrat who is predjudiced against women
and blacks?
Are there enough white women to carry Hillary to victory?
I say no. I predict Barak Obama will sweep Texas and whether he wins in Ohio or not, this round will see Hillary Clinton's swan song.
Let's hope she bows out gracefully without an extended court fight in Florida!
