Tom Edsaall, former Washington Post reporter, writes on the Huffington Post that Clinton may concede Nevada and South Carolina.

Reports are now conflicting, with the AP and other published reports talking about Clinton treating Nevada like a firewall.

"Manchester, N.H. -- A panicked and cash-short Clinton campaign is seriously considering giving up on the Nevada caucuses and on the South Carolina primary in order to regroup and to save resources for the massive 19-state mega-primary on February 5.

"At the same time, some top independent expenditure groups supporting Clinton have been exploring the creation of an anti-Obama "527 committee" that would take unlimited contributions from a few of Clinton's super-rich backers and from a handful of unions to finance television ads and direct mail designed to tarnish the Illinois Senator's image."

The campaign is obviously in total chaos if contradictory and damaging leaks like this are happening.

The rule in politics generally is, if you want to destroy someone, go ahead, but don't talk about it.
