Now, with the opportunity of bringing back the prosperity of the Clinton years, they lean towards an empty suit, with cute words who in the last 3 years nobody can name a single thing he has done for his constituents in Illinois. It's not time to change the president, it's time to change the voters.   wow, you gotta love american voters, not that long ago, they decided to elect a retarded, drunk, deserter, warmonger over an intellectual war hero (Kerry), and over a Nobel prize winner( Al Gore).

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 05:11:46 +0000 http://poligazette.com/2008/03/03/the-latest-ohio-and-texas-polls/#comment-28845 I predict Hillary to win tomorrow.  Republicans are more aghast at the thought of Barrak Obama being President than they are of Hillary Clinton, and since the Republican primary is basically over, why not pick the Democratic nominee one could best live with.   Plus, Texans don't fear strong women leaders. We have a long history with them. Ann Richards and Kay Bailey Hutchison, for example.

She has been on message there and the campaign has been run tightly the last week or so. Throw in what seems to be a blunder by the Obama camp on the Canadian communication regardig NAFTA and I think she is going to a lot of undecideds. I see her taking that state 55-45. Texas things are a lot closer. Obama seemed to be pulling away, but given the huge latino vote, the red phone ad & again the NAFTA issue and it is not unimaginable to see a Clinton win. If the Hispanics show up for her, and I think they will, the state she'll squeak it. If not, Obama will squeak it. Either way, they fight on. I feel that she seems to have turned the tide just in the dying moments so this latest Texas poll could be accurate. I don't think there is going to be any clear winner from tomorrow's outcome but it seems the tide may just be turning in Hillary's favour. However, there is 6 weeks until Pen State votes and we have all seen what Obama is capable of doing to a Clinton lead if he has the time. It is VERY exciting & I'm not even American!

But I've looked at the polls too, so I know you're fudging a bit here in your spin for Hillary's sake.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I basically agree with you about Ohio. Obama has closed the gap SUBSTANTIALLY in Ohio since super tuesday, but does not seem to be able to get over the hump. I've been saying for 2 weeks that it looks like Hillary will most likely hold on in Ohio. If the polls are right. Not a new development.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     What the Texas polls show is that Obama swept past Hillary in the past few weeks, and that he has been holding a small lead in almost all of these polls. He has consistently had this SMALL lead in most Texas polls every since he passed her a couple weeks ago.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             I think your inversion of the situation by declaration (Obama has to win?yeah, right) is kind of funny. Hillary was way ahead in both Texas and Ohio as of super tuesday. Obama has since then piled up wins in a bunch more states, many by big margins, and closed the gap in two big stalwart Hillary states. She's the one under the sword. If Obama wins it's over, if Hillary wins she stays alive. Nice cherrypicking from the new polls, especially in texas.

Her only hope is to drag this out to the convention but she is too far behind to close the gap. Obama can wrap this up with a win...Hillary can make this a long and nasty fight that favors the Republicans. Those are our two options.
