1. That would be excellent if he took both Ohio and Texas.

Texas looks like the more likely state to go to Obama. But if he won both, that would be the icing on the cake.

2. He may just beat her in OH...

I wonder what the excuse to stay in will be after March 4?

5. Great.

He only needs to maintain this ten point advantage and it'll be all sewn up.

6. History repeats itself

We've all seen this show before.

Obama will win both Texas and Ohio by 20 point margins.

7. Barack's climb in the polls has been meteoric.

I just donated again and would encourage everyone that can and feels inclined to do the same. Let's help Barack bring it home.

12. Hey, I have a question here.

How much of an effect will the negative campaigning have in Ohio? Do Ohioans care about that kind of stuff like Winsconsin (and other midewest) voters. Or are they more like NY/CA voters who don't mind negative campaigning so much?

13. People Here

at least in my neck of the woods are sick of the negative shit already.

Gobama!!!

15. Major Garret was just on Foxnews and he said that HRC officials off the record admit it is closer

He specifically referenced the Rasmussen poll with Hillary's 5 point lead, but he said he talked to several members of HRC's campaign privately and they said that the lead is closer than that. He said that Clinton officials were telling him that it was closer to a 1-2 point lead.
