I am not saying that we wouldn't have preferred to win in MA. I am saying that, going into Super Tuesday, the campaign expected MA to be very close and to win the 4 states I mentioned -- in other words, we were not surprised by the MA results. I think we did hope/expect to come out of Super Tuesday with closer to 450 delegates than 400.

I am not ready to throw in the towel, but I agree that if it does become clear that Clinton is going to win the nomination, Bernie is very likely to back out gracefully and throw his full support behind Clinton. I think she will do the same if Bernie wins the nomination. The specter of Trump is likely to be a great unifying force for Democrats, liberals, progressives, and perhaps even moderates of any stripe.
