I turned on CNN this morning and they basically declared Clinton's success to be a "comeback." Its ridiculous that the Clinton camp has been able to spread this myth around because it's patently false. Obama was never expected to win either of the states and was never even ahead in the polls (except for a few instances in Texas where he was ahead by less than the margin of error). The fact that Clinton lost so much support in the months leading up to these primaries and won by so little makes her victories more of a life-saver than any sort of comeback. She is still behind by around 100 delegates and Obama still has the popular vote. To claim that her victories are a large accomplishment would be to suggest that Obama was expected to win in both states (which has always been false).
