Polls show Clinton with a big lead in Ohio

Both polls show Clinton with a double-digit lead over Obama, though the Columbus Dispatch poll has Edwards in the results.

The key will be whether Obama can narrow this margin as he racks up wins around the country and as he campaigns in Ohio. He needs to have some big rallies at Ohio State and other Ohio campuses to start generating buzz in the Buckeye state. He also has the debate in Cleveland at the end of this month.

He has plenty of time with three weeks until the March 4th primary.

Identity politics

Steven Ybarra, a California superdelegate who heads the voting-rights committee of the DNC Hispanic Caucus, sent around an email criticizing the Clinton campaign for replacing Patti Solis Doyle as campaign manager.

“Apparently, loyalty is not a two-way street,” he wrote. “Latino superdelegates like myself . . . will have cause to pause.”

This is ridiculous. The Clinton campaign is a mess, and Solis Doyle deserved to be replaced. They probably should have done it months ago.

This kind of identity politics is pathetic. Ybarra should be embarassed. Hispanics and other minorities should demand that they be treated equally, but that includes being held to the same standards as others as well. If one’s performance doesn’t measure up, that person can be fired or demoted just like the rest of us.

I’m not a big fan of Hillary or her campaign, but this attack isn’t fair.
