BOOOOOOOO !!!

[Verily]

Not that surprising. Obama doesn't need to win Ohio, he just needs to keep her lead to 10-12 points.

[Adlai Stevenson]

This seems more believable and encouraging.

[Eraserhead]

Not that surprising. Obama doesn't need to win Ohio, he just needs to keep her lead to 10-12 points.

Agreed.

[Flying Dog]

37% is a good place to start.

Not that surprising. Obama doesn't need to win Ohio, he just needs to keep her lead to 10-12 points.

Agreed.

NO. We need every vote and every delegate. We cannot allow her to win, either by legitimate means or by artifice. I remain fearful of her bag of dirty tricks. Who knows what she can pull from it?

And besides, if Obama actually wins Ohio and Texas, Hillary will be out.

Do they have early voting in Ohio? I know its a closed primary which will kill Obama, but early voting also tends to hurt him as people tend to realize that he is better closer to the election.

SUSA showed the early voting very close. 51-47 for Clinton I think.

I don't want to lose Ohio but it cetainly isn't the end of the world if we do. The burden is on her back at this point.

[TheresNoMoney]

I don't think he'll win, but I think he can get within 5%.

Ditto this. I will not be disappointed with a result such as 55-44.

[phk]

Predict maybe 60-40 in Clinton's favor.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

If Obama wins either Texas or Ohio, it's over. Texas is probably more likely because it's open. Anyway, this result is an improvement, and I'd be satisfied with a single digit loss even. And the result won't mean a thing if Obama can pull off Texas.

[Eraserhead]

Rasmussen releases a new Texas poll tomorrow.

[Lief 🗽]

Well, my unscientific poll today during 2 hours of phonebanking leads me to believe that Obama will win Austin with 100% of the vote, seeing as how I didn't get a single Clinton supporter.

that's Austin though, and pretty much everyone in the Austin area is some demographic that supports Obama.
