We have to go all out for a win in Ohio

[WI_DEM]

I believe Ohio will be the state that Bernie will work to try and win the most. We can't trust the polls--Michigan proved that. A new Quinnipiac Poll out today gives HRC only a 9-point lead in Ohio and that is prior to Michigan and he's bound to get some kind of bounce out of Michigan. Ohio is also an open primary, I believe.

I feel good about Illinois, Florida and NC. We may have an edge in Missouri, but the African-American vote isn't as big there as in the deep south. Ohio will be the battleground with Missouri secondary, imho.

Anyway here is the result for what it is worth of the latest Ohio poll:

Despite the deep deficit in Florida, Mr. Sanders still stands a chance in Ohio, where he trails Mrs. Clinton 52 percent to 43 percent, according to a separate Quinnipiac poll.

Very liberal voters, younger voters and men are keeping Mr. Sanders afloat there.

The polls had margins of error of plus or minus four percentage points.

1. Lots of delegates on the table in the next week.

If the delegate gap grows even slightly in Clinton's favor, it will be bad news for Sanders. The time for moral victories is over.

2. Posted in another thread:

Note that Ohio demographics are different from Michigan's.

There are four Detroit / Flint-style cities: Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton and Toledo. Columbus is weighted heavily with government employees. Also, OSU will be on spring break, so no Ann Arbor comparison. OU is not, but Athens County is not at all like Washtenaw.

Reducing expectations, I still believe Clinton has, at a minimum, a five point advantage here.
