Like I said in the other thread, I’m looking mainly at MA, MN, and CO. I think he needs to win all of them to retain any realistic shot at the nomination, and should probably pack it in if he can’t get at least two. I think he needs to win them by an average double digit margin and also pick off another state or two in order to say that Super Tuesday _improved_ his chances.

The first four states I view as not having much changed the pre-primary dynamic of “he has a small but nonzero chance”, but after a certain amount of that, time becomes his enemy.
