It’s difficult to predict what will happen tomorrow. Over the past 10 contests, Obama has outperformed the polls with his superior ground game and the enthusiasm of his supporters. Hopefully that will continue tomorrow and he can put this away, but his ground game advantage might not be as significant tomorrow as the Clinton campaign has bet everything on these two states.
Obama’s rise in the polls seems to have stalled a little, and some polls have Hillary increasing her lead in Ohio. Some are blaming the national security ads from Clinton, but I suspect that the photo from last week of Obama in traditional African clothes might be having a larger impact.
Texas is critical. Obama needs to win the delegate race AND the popular vote to prevent any claims of victory by the Clinton campaign. If he can win in Texas and keep it close in Ohio, the super delegates will start to break for Obama and many will call for her to get out of the race. It’s also possible that party heavyweights like Gore, Pelosi, Richardson and Edwards will come out for Obama.
Should be interesting.
I just read where Russ Limbaugh has asked GOP voters to cross over and over for HIllary. The GOP is praying that they run against Clinton in the general, and now it seems they are willing to vote Hillary tuesday to try to make that happen.
Here’s hoping voters put an end to the Clinton Bush dynasty tomorrow, instead of making Hillary the comeback kid… The Clinton attack machine seems to be gaining traction but it makes my stomach turn, I hope other voters react like i do…
Think BEFORE you HOPE
Obama doesn’t want you to think .. just hope
Obama is smart and he speaks well. He simply needs to prove himself with legislative service, then he would deserve serious consideration for President. But certainly not now, not with his thin resume, positions which seem like marketing strategies, and an unvetted past which may prove he’s “politics as usual.”
Please THINK before you vote .. don’t just HOPE Obama will be the one.

That “inconvenient memo”

“I could see why Obama wanted to wrap it up. On the day before crucial votes in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont that could make him the Democratic presidential nominee, Obama, for the first time in his campaign, was facing two potential landmines. … (Also read Sweet’s account of efforts to nail Obama down on his long relationship with Tony Rezko, now on trial in Chicago’s federal court for bilking taxpayers and pension funds out of millions.)”
