She is deliberately keeping expectations low for the caucuses in Kansas and Nebraska.
The biggest prize today-55 delegates-is Louisiana, here she will likely win at least 40 delegates.
In Nebraska she is keeping expectations very low:
"Hillary Clinton learned many lessons from her first presidential campaign, but perhaps one of the biggest can be felt here on the eve of the Democratic caucuses: Delegate math."
"The Clinton campaign is not projecting the image of fighting hard to win Nebraska -- her only visit came last December -- but it is fighting hard to prevent a blowout in this and other small states holding contests this month."
"In 2008, Barack Obama swept Nebraska, Kansas and several rural states with caucuses, racking up victories that fortified his delegate lead. For Clinton, it was a profound mistake that helped make it impossible to overtake Obama in the epic fight for delegates."
"So with a share of Nebraska's 25 delegates in mind, aides dispatched former President Bill Clinton to Lincoln and Omaha on Friday, a visit that sent Democrats buzzing in this deeply conservative state. His trip came after a two-day stop earlier this week by Chelsea Clinton."
"The Clinton campaign -- keen on not raising expectations here -- did little to promote an endorsement from the state's largest newspaper. The Omaha World-Herald, now owned by Warren Buffett, praised Clinton as a "stronger choice" than Bernie Sanders."
"Hillary Clinton brings credentials and breadth unmatched by her Democratic opponent," the newspaper's editorial said Friday, "as well as a pragmatic ability to get things done in what no doubt will remain a divided Capitol."

The expectation is that she will win by a large margin in Louisiana. As I noted yesterday, the voters in LA are, despite their suffering even now from Katrina, ready for Hillary.

But Bernie is expected to win Nebraska and Kansas today, and the Maine caucus tomorrow. However, the delegate totals there aren't huge and she will get enough of them herself when factored in with her blowout win in LA to leave the weekend in good shape.

Then it's on to Michigan where Hil has a 20 point lead and Mississippi, where she has a 40 point lead.
