81. Ok.. let's see.. the "ads" were national, hard to pull one state out of a national mix..
second, Obama doesn't garner his huge support from a few TV commercials. He does it when he shows up to arena's full of 15,000 - 20,000 people at a time, and hear him speak about WHY he is the better candidate.

Had he actually had time to campaign, he would have come close, or possibly even beat Hillary - like he's done in several other states.

Yup, she won Florida - just like she's always up in the polls by about 20% - 30% a month or two before the actual primary or caucus. Then Obama comes in, people meet him, see him, get to know him, and Hillary's name recognition advantage disappears quickly - and Obama makes it a race.

Show me one state that 1 year ago had Obama leading? None. He is the underdog... the lesser known.. so until he has the ability to campaign, he loses. Hillary knows this - she wants delegates based on name regontion alone.

That is total BS.
