She's also leading in Texas.
She certainly has my Texas vote.

Are Ohioians smart enough to know it was Clinton's NAFTA and giving most favored nation status to China that closed their plants and shipped their jobs overseas?

OK we believe you. LOL

"Hillary Maintains Ohio Lead In Latest Poll"

Yeah, until Obama comes to town with two more state victories next Tuesday.

Can't get giddy when:

(1) you fire your campaign manager (of she steps down - though I believe she was fired),

(2) the deputy campaign manager quits

(3) Its leaked to the press that pollster Marc Penn got into a heated shouting match with another employee

(4) You catch serious flack for continuously refusing to congratulate Obama on victories

All of this happened this week.

I tell ya, that Hillary Clinton is an amazing, polarizing woman.

I've learned three things this camapign season:

(1) That The Cookie Monster actually prefers Doritos

(2) That KFC is delicious

and...

(3) That Hillary Clinton campaign is imploding because she had no post-Super Tuesdday ground game because she arrogantly felt Obama would get mopped up on Super Tuesday.

AFter all of the attacks and race-baiting from Camp Clinton, Obama is still standing.

Go Obama!

This is an out-of-date poll. If one went back to polls taken last year, Obama was nowhere in sight. The most recent poll? But the polling wasas not reaally recent.

By the way, a Wisconsin poll taken in generally the same time frame showed HRC leading by double digits there. And although I know of any more recent poll there, HRC has essentially conceded that state to Obamaa. Go figure!

The poll for Wisconsin was just out she is behind, 39 to 50. It is also going up each day. I live here in Wisconsin, stop blowing smoke.

I just read a poll that said polls don't mean a whole lot. Something them being somewhat irrelevant in the past couple months, I don't know.
I suppose it could have been a biased poll or even one someone just made up to cause controversy but hey it was a poll and the media loves their polls. Maybe if Ivan the Terrible or Vlad the Impaler were around he'd fix em up with one they could sit on.

Clinton supporters hate to bust your bubble, but the fact that is Obama has just started to air commercials in Ohio, and he has yet to campaign there. The poll numbers have Clinton winning among women by more than twenty points and even men by 13 or so points. Clinton is not going to beat Obama among men, and her lead among women will probably end up being high single digits or as high as 12 points. That being said, she may still win the State, but if it is say 53 to 47, her delegate count will be about even. I believe if Obama wins Wisconsin and Hawaii (no doubt) his momentum going into March 3, will push him slightly past her in at least one of the March 4 big States. YOU CAN COUNT ON IT!!!

[imsosure]

I hope Obama wins the whole damn thing, I just don''t give a hoot what polls say.

BREAKDOWN FROM THE POLLS; ANYONE WNAT TO TELL ME THESE SPREADS ARE ACCURATE AND/OR WILL HOLD. ESPECIALLY THE PA NUMBERS SINCE OBAMA HAS NOT EVEN STEP FOOT AND THEY DO NOT VOTE UNTIL APRIL 22.

Among Ohio Democrats, women back Clinton 56 - 30 percent while men back her 52 - 42 percent. Clinton leads 64 - 28 percent among white Democrats, while Obama leads 64 - 17 percent among black voters.


Among Pennsylvania Democrats, Clinton leads 54 - 34 percent with women, 49 - 39 percent with men and 58 - 31 percent among whites. Obama leads 71 - 10 percent among black Democrats.

Here is a memo from the Obama camp signed by various labor organizations, stating why they support Obama, and just what Hillary Clinton has said about NAFTA over the years.

It might make a big difference in Ohio.

Everyone knows that the polls have been "dead on" lately haven't they?

As Chris Matthews would say, HA!

[EvSmith]

Quinnipiac University polling numbers are nearly always heavily in favor of Clinton and are usually far from accurate. This poll is consistently one of, if not the least reliable poll out there.

I've been watching these polls for well over a year now and Quinnipiac has been off since day one of this race.

Please note, all you pro-Hillary posters, that your complaint that Arianna never posts positive Hillary news is untrue.

[Hotshortie]

Does that GM company she visited today know she wants to expand NAFTA?

Ohio, kiss more jobs good bye.

[jungpatawan]

This is the best of both worlds: Obama has the momentum and an ever-growing lead in states, delegates and vote totals...

...but he can still campaign as an underdog in Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania.

[Zhonni]

I'll wait till Obama starts actively campaigning there before I put much stock into the polls.

We all know Obama is a closer like no other.

New Hampshire, California, Massachusetts, New Jersey ...

Ohio that is the state that put George bush jr though so he could send their jobs over seas. Now let Hillary and bill with NAFTA screw them good.

In America we have met the enemy and it is us and the worst of the worst is Ohio.

Give Ohio credit they love to be screwed. Sexy people those folks from Ohio.

Americans dumb and dumber and Ohioans fit the dumber category.
