Why I Think Obama Can Take Ohio

[ericgtr]

If we take a look at Wisconsin, Hillary held the lead until about 7 days before the election and it started to turn, Obama was 7 points back. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/wi/wisconsin_democratic_primary-270.html#polls

We still have 9 days to go and Obama has closed the gap to 6 points. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-02/27/content_7678381.htm

Unless something major happens to really slow his momentum here, I think he takes the state in the same way he took Wisconsin.

1. Let's hope all the Obama supporters who jumped into

the pool over the last 2 weeks were registered to vote in a timely fashion.

3. Why would they not be? n/t

6. This one is espousing the theory that no one in the state

was pro-Obama back on Feb 3rd when registrations needed to be filed.

Something about lazy people and students and all.

Thread is around here somewhere.

7. Yeah, that's what I thought they were getting at. Wanted to be sure, though.

Thanks.

10. After all

Strict adherence to voting procedures should always trump the right of people to cast a ballot, especially when they're stupid fucking children who don't get that 'experience matters!'

2. If he wins Texas, who CARES as long as Ohio is close?

Even WITH Florida and Michigan delegates seated, HRC can't get the nomination without blowouts in Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and we all know that's probably not going to happen at this point.

Hillary's camp knows this, and I'm betting she does too.

4. Well...

plugging your ears going lalalalala makes it sort of hard to hear.

5. It is most definitely doable.

8. We know Obama and his team on

the ground in Ohio are going to try their darnest to make this happen!

9. I think he can too

What he needs to do is having a better showing in the Greater Cleveland area than he's currently polling, he needs to do better in Columbus (Franklin County), and he needs to expand his lead in Toledo. If he does that, he will win the state.
