If this keeps up, and it probably will, Obama will win BOTH of her firewalls :P

Haha, bye bye Hillary!

Two points:

1) This poll actually looks like good news for Clinton to my eye. If she only lost two points and he only gained one since last week, he is gaining on her less quickly than he was a week ago, which suggests that she might manage to hang on to a narrow lead until next Tues.

2) If I had to choose between enjoying an advantage among women or among men, I know that I would choose women. They are more reliable poll-goers. That said, I guess that I am not giving up hope that Obama can yet reverse some of Clinton's advantage among women.

Given that she needs to win both Texas and Ohio by 30-35 points, I'd say it's a near lock at this point that Hillary's ship will officially sink in the early morning hours of next Wednesday.

"This poll actually looks like good news for Clinton . . . which suggests that she might manage to hang on to a narrow lead until next Tues."

Depends on whether you focus on winning the popular vote or catching up in the delegate count. Although the Clinton campaign would no doubt try to spin a six-point win as a vindication, the truth is it would be more like the end: she cannot come close to catching up in the pledged delegate count with such victories.

And there really isn't any good argument why the remaining unpledged superdelegates would all come out for Clinton now, based on a relatively narrow win in Ohio. Those who wanted to get on the Clinton bandwagon had plenty of opportunity to do so long ago.

Idiotic, any thoughts on this latest announcement?

You know, I think that this represents news for Hillary....but what *kind* of news? WHAT KIND?

If only there were someone here to tell me.

Your thoughts, Idiotic?

DEMOCRATS EAT THEIR YOUNG....

After the years of service Hillary has given to working for the democratic cause, a new younger guy comes along, and they abandon her.

It is her time but there is no loyalty in the democratic party.

At least the republicans do not treat each other this way..

If Obama is nominee, I will vote McCain.

RaeK:

What do you mean exactly? She was the unelected wife of a two-term President and then ONE STATE elected her to represent them in the Senate. What exactly does the rest of the country owe her in your opinion?

If Gore hadn't been sandbagged by Monicagate, Travelgate, FBI Filegate, Lincoln bedroom "sales", sketchy Chinese donors, NOT TO MENTION Hillary's failed healthcare push, this country might be an entirely different place right now. What about what we owed HIM? or Biden... or Dodd... or Daschle? How is Hillary owed more than any of these solid Dem politicians?

The last two election cycles have proven that we need to turn the corner on the leadership of this country. I'm old enough to remember when we held a moral high ground and were the model of Democracy on the planet. Seven years later, BUsh has put our standing AND our dollar in the toilet.

We have a primary season so Americans can determine THEIR CHOICE for President. Obama has captured the imagination of the electorate. That's what determines a person's "time" to be President. Not some quasi-dynastic sense of inevitability and entitlement.

If you would REALLY consider "100-years More" McCain over an intelligent, inspirational, unifying and transformational leader like Barack Obama, I have to wonder what kind of progressive you are.

Good luck with that.

Anyone have more information in Ohio? Is there an effective apparatus in Ohio that Clinton gets because of endorsements? Or does each candidate have to build the apparatus for GOTV?

The Ohio results appear to be close and I think will be decided by the GOTV efforts. Any Ohio folks who can report on what they are experiencing would certainly help us out.

Thanks.

Speaking of McCain, you are aware that the Republicans abandoned him in 2000 when a new younger guy came along, right?

And you're also aware that many prominent Republicans publicly declared their formal non-support of McCain this time around because he hadn't pandered to them as much as they thought he should have, right?

And that one of McCain's supporters stopped the vote counting in Washington state with 13% uncounted and declared his guy the winner so that the other guy (who is a loon but who does have a base of support) would lose momentum, right?

Are you sure that Democrats are the only party to eat their young?

And it is 5 point difference in another poll.
Rasmussen. 2/25. Likely voters. MoE 3% (2/21 results)

Clinton 48 (48)
Obama 43 (40)

Did anyone catch that SurveyUSA said that 12% on their poll already voted. It went 59%-37%.

That's only 12% and with the other 88%, Obama is only behind in Ohio by 3, 48-45!

Factor in that the poll was Saturday through yesterday, not just yesterday. That means that right now that got data of a snapshot from 2 and 3 days ago, not just one. It might even be better for Obama as he's pulling closer to her over time.

What goes up must come down
spinning wheel got to go round
Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel spin

You got no money, and you, you got no home
Spinning wheel all alone
Talking about your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony
let the spinning wheel turn

Did you find a directing sign
on the straight and narrow highway?
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colours that are real

Someone is waiting just for you
spinning wheel is spinning true
Drop all your troubles, by the river side
Catch a painted pony
On the spinning wheel ride

Someone is waiting just for you
spinning wheel is spinning true
Drop all your troubles, by the river side
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel fly

oh yea!

The thing about these polls is that Obama's "likely" voters make certain that their ballots are properly and timely cast. Whereas her "likely" voters go to the mall and then see how much energy they have left, if they even remember it's election day.

Look for a solid Obama win in Texas.
