So two polls have shown Hillary up double digits in MI/IL, and they were both conducted before NV/SC!

Sanders needs to close this gap if he wants to survive March 8th/15th. He doesn't need to win IL, but a near 20-point loss isn't going to cut it.

Well, he doesn't need to win IL specifically, but he needs to win somewhere.  A Clinton sweep of the 8th and 15th states would make the map look something like this:

At that point, it won't matter how much Sanders says the map ahead is favorable, it'll be very hard to make the race look competitive.

That looks like game over. Mathematically Sanders is still alive, but with the momentum in Hillary's corner, what chance does he have?
