Goal Posts Meet Mover II

Oy! The Clinton spin! It's enough to make you dizzy (the point, I suppose). In the span of a little over a week, it's gone from Clinton admittedly needing to win both Texas and Ohio—her firewalls, remember—to Obama needing to win both. Here's their latest attempt to play the expectations game to their favor.
Clinton Camp Memo on Obama Expectations
Should Senator Obama fail to score decisive victories with all of the resources and effort he is bringing to bear, the message will be clear:
Democrats, the majority of whom have favored Hillary in the primary contests held to date, have their doubts about Senator Obama and are having second thoughts about him as a prospective standard-bearer.
That's not spin, that's spinning out of control. And it's really sad to watch.
