If Hillary Clinton loses Texas, it could be over for her. And in Beaumont, Texas, her dutiful husband Bill, acknowledged this in a speech — telling Texans that a loss in Texas or Ohio would likely kill Hillary's chances.

Bill, likely fearful of the Hillary Nutcracker, told onlookers: "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."

Texas is a must-win for Clinton, who has dropped 10 contests in a row to her rival Democratic contender Barak Obama.

Richard Murray, director of the University of Houston's Center for Public Policy told the press: "They've gotten some bad breaks here. Texas is not well set-up for her, and the Obama people have figured that out. It's tough — but they've got no choice. They must win down here, and win convincingly."

Texas and Ohio vote March 4. Both states allow independents to vote in the Democratic primary, an edge that has worked in Obama's favor in other states. The Bodog Sportsbook has all your presidential election odds. Place your bets on your favorite contender.
