On the eve of critical contests for the Democratic presidential candidates in Ohio and Texas, the final Ohio Poll before Tuesday’s primary vote shows Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York favored over Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois among like Democratic voters in Ohio – by a margin of Clinton 51.3 percent, Obama 42.3 percent.
In the Republican contest, Sen. John McCain of Arizona is poised for a clear victory over his last remaining serious rival, former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, according to the poll by the University of Cincinnati showing McCain favored among 53.4 percent of Republican vogters, Huckabee 23.7 percent.
The survey of 624 probable Democratic primary voters and 330 probable Republican voters was conducted from Thursday through Sunday, with a possible margin of error of 3.9 percent in the Democratic survey and 5.4 percent in the Republican survey.
John Edwards, the former North Carolina senator who withdrew from the Democratic contest, still was drawing 6 percent of the Ohio voters surveyed – down from 9 percent in the last Ohio Poll in February. And Clinton’s edge over Obama has widened between the two surveys.
In the last Ohio Poll, a survey taken Feb. 21-24, Clinton had drawn the support of 47 percent of those surveyed, Obama 39 percent.





Comments
I've made a promise to myself and others that today will be the last day I make this plea
so, as a veteran, an independent American voter and a medical professional in good standing, I humbly ask ;
please no more bush/clinton/bush/clinton
please
if you want vision, vote obama
if you want experience, vote mccain
but if you want DI-vision and a BAD flashback, then by all means vote clinton - because that is what your country will get
peace, everyone

"Sen. Clinton continues to insist that we provide speeches and she provides solutions," he said. "The press has sort of bought into this, I think, because they, you know, want to keep the contest interesting, and I understand that."
But Obama said he has provided specifics on "every issue under the sun" and that her claims of foreign-policy experience are overblown.
The Hillary Show is getting really old. All she's done of late is confirm peoples worst fear about the Clintons.
The Clintons have managed to transform themselves from Democratic royalty into ruthless, backwoods, win at all cost Hillrods in the course of a few weeks.
"They are going to have a very hard choice to make after Tuesday if she loses Texas or Ohio," top Obama adviser David Axelrod said Saturday. "There are people in the party who are very concerned about this turning into some kind of a Bataan Death March."
Hillary's Bataan Death March continues. Whether Democratic voters like it or not!!!

The phone rings 5, FIVE times, but shes in her office fully dressed when she answers the phone.
Do you think she ran in just in time to pick up the phone after being somewhere else in the White House trying to catch Bill with his pants down????
Who do you want answering that phone? An irradic woman trying to catch her husband in a sex craved cat and mouse chase all over the White house, keeping her distracted when something is happening in the world?

I am a supporter Senator Hillary Clinton, and I’ve contributed financially to her campaign. I feel she is the most qualified to be President.
As a young woman, I am proud to have a qualified and viable woman running for President. It's about time. America is a leader in the world, yet other countries have had women Presidents and Prime Ministers (e.g. England, Pakistan, Israel, Argentina, Philippines, India, etc.).
American women were given the right to vote in 1920, after a long struggle. A few women have attempted to run for President, without success. We now have a strong and viable candidate in Hillary. It’s a tough job running for President. For a woman, it’s even tougher.
Let's support Senator Clinton and make history by electing her the FIRST WOMAN President of the US. A woman President will be CHANGE. We may not get this chance again for many years.

Hillary is her own woman and yes a woman so I find your comment to be chauvinistic. She can really think for herself unlike Obama who has copied almost everything during this campaign. I too had a vision last night and it frightened the hell out of me, it was Obama and Michelle (you know the one who is proud of this country for the first time)they were in the Whitehouse trying to run this country without Hillary telling him what to do.

Should Hillary win many independents like myself will be forced to vote for John McCain. At least he is an honest man unlike Hillary. She is an embarrassment, not only to womaen like myself but to America as a whole. I feel sorry for Mr Obama having to deal with the Clintons stooping to all new lows. Shame on the Clintons.
Incredible to see a formerly beloved woman reach the depths of depravity. Really makes you wonder what Hillary Clinton administration would be like. The criminality would likely excede that of the Bush administration.

Posted by: ojf | March 3, 2008 12:07 PM
The republican insiders believe they can more easily beat Obama because of his youth, relative inexperience and the fact he has the most liberal voting record in the Senate. In spite of Senator Obama's inspirational message, I believe McCain will soundly beat Senator Obama. Those little old ladies supporting Hillary are more likely to vote for McCain.
I have never been more dispirited reading all the misogynistic, sexist bile spewing from so many of the voting public on the websites. Senator Clinton is an accomplished politician with incredible intelligence and drive. I am a 50 year old highly educated white male who lives in suburban Chicago. I am soundly behind Senator Clinton. Senator Obama is not ready to be president. He would make a much better vice president at this time. Please stop slamming Senator Clinton. Whatever happened to civil discourse. If you disapprove of a candidate, express your dissatisfaction in a civil tone...and support your choice with substantive reasons, not because you dislike, someone or their spouse. Senator Clinton is not Bill Clinton and constitutionally he could not be the "co-president" which is a popular argument used to bash Senator Clinton. She is highly intelligence, articulate and independent. What is wrong with another Clinton dynasty? My financial worth was never better when President Bill Clinton was in office and the world respected the US and we were not engaged in any wars that we waged. Yeah, I guess those were horrible years!?
Posted by: Jeff | March 3, 2008 12:12 PM
Although the votes are not in and counted yet if Hillary Clinton should win in Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania she would have defeated Obama in seven of the eight largest states. If this happens and Obama is the Democratic nominee will this cause problems in November against a strong Republican candidate in John McCain? Interesting.
Posted by: Depot Jim | March 3, 2008 12:20 PM
are you sure Obama is leading in OH? Almost all polls I read indicate Hillary with a good lead in OH. I am an Obama supporter, so I am worried is a little behind..the only poll that shows him a little ahead is Reuters/Zogby..and we all know what they reported on the eve of NH primary

Let's get one thing straight. Hillary Clinton is NOT a Margarete Thatcher, Golda Mier or Indira Gandhi - she doessn't even come close enough to kiss their shoes. Hillary is a power-hungry, self-righteous, know-it-all with an exagerated sense of her own importance as well as many other Boomer generation failings. A Hillary Clinton administration would divide this country even more than it is divided now. The trouble with so many of Hillary's female supporters is that they are one-issue voters - come hell or high water, there has to be a woman in the White House. No. ladies, there does NOT have to be a woman in the White House - at least not this power-hungry harpy. When you get one that won't divide the country like this one would, then run a woman for POTUS - she might even win.
Posted by: Cynic | March 3, 2008 12:33 PM
Cut and paste Obama? Hillary borrows more lines from others without attribution than he does. And the focus of her message changes by the moment to suit the crowd she's in front of. It's all pander and no leadership, and it boggles my mind that people aren't offended by her condescending, patronizing way of talking to them. I don't like Barack, but I can't stand Hillary.
Posted by: jim | March 3, 2008 12:35 PM
Change is good, but it isn't everything. Change is what you get when you have paid too much for something. Worse still, we have been short-CHANGED by the Bush Administration for years. Regardless of the talk, we will never be able to ex-CHANGE those lost lives, wages and lifestyles with a vision of hope. Once Bush is no longer president, the machine that ran this country over the past 8 years is not leaving. For true change to take place, it will still be a fight. I think Mrs. Clinton has a better chance at winning that fight. I believe in what Mr. Obama says, and I want to soar on his visionary current, however, I have sored before, only to be left wingless and burdoned by the weight. Mrs. Clinton is not just a visionary, and right now our Country needs someone who can go the rounds with those smug " thanks, but we'll do it our way" attitudes that prevail in DC. Don't be fooled, Change doesn't come in words. Change comes in strategy. To charge Clinton with being "More of the same" is a comlpliment to her. DC is filled with the same. Obama will get bogged down with the game. Clinton will cut through. Once a path has been laid, then the vision can take off.

Do you not see the irony in the immaturity of your post? One could easily say they're tired of women basing their decisions on baseless emotions and irrationality (ie, 'male world view governing style').
Are you actually implying that a woman who cries under campaign pressure is fit to lead? And how would world leaders view that? Tell you what: If you show me a clip of Margaret Thatcher crying on the stump, THEN you can argue that Clinton is a worthy executive officer.
Genitalia is not a political virtue, sexist.

If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary's than they had ever been before or since.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)

"We now have a strong and viable candidate in Hillary. ... Let's support Senator Clinton and make history by electing her the FIRST WOMAN President of the US. A woman President will be CHANGE. We may not get this chance again for many years."
TSR -- I've heard this argument several times, but nothing you've mentioned is a VIABLE reason to vote for Hillary. Just because it's harder for a woman, or we won't have a chance to elect a woman for a while? I'd rather wait, thank you. As for change, I think any of the three candidates left will bring that -- look at what we have now! -- but in my opinion, Hillary will bring the least. She represents the establishment. I am a woman and your arguments for voting Hillary make NO sense to me. And I don't believe Hillary is a viable candidate either; like many experts, I don't believe she can win a general election. The primaries so far support this notion.
"Obama came out of nowhere and will be torn to shreds by the swiftboaters. He can't win in November. I'm willing to give a woman who knows her way around a chance. They can't mess things up any worse than they are now. And the economy did well under Bill Clinton. We need that again."
Harry Haller -- I want more than someone who "won't mess things up more than they are now." Our country is headed to the [insert graphic word for "toilet" here] and that's not going to be enough. And how can you assume that because the economy was OK under Bill Clinton, it would be the same under Hillary? They are very different people. For the very simplest proof of that, look around at how many people think he was basically a decent president/person, but don't think the same of his wife. I am but one of many...

Clinton bashing has become so nauseating, so cliche, that it has made me think Ms. Clinton is the most awesome human being in the history of the world while completely distracting from Obama's message. Kind of like how you start to hate the Yankees because that's all the media talks about.
Seriously, was Bill Clinton really president during eight of the most prosperous years this country has ever enjoyed (I don't care who deserves the credit)?
If the Clintons were mass murderers they would get more love than the media and many right wing and independent folk have shown them.
Enough already. If you don't like Clinton, rachet up your support of Obama, but spare us the hate mongering.

Even though Ted Kennedy, Jay Rockefeller, and John Kerry voted for the Iraq resolution, Obama happily accepted their endorsements, and he continues to attack Hillary who voted the same way they did.
The following is from an article dated 3/2/08 written by Ben Smith, titled Dwelling on Iraq. It's on politico.com
"Earlier today, Sen. Obama attacked Hillary on Iraq by invoking Sen. Rockefeller and incorrectly saying that the WVA Senator opposed the 2002 Iraq vote. The truth is that Sen. Rockefeller voted for the war resolution - not against it as Sen. Obama suggested to the people of Ohio. This seems to be an Obama campaign talking point since its top strategist also claimed that Sen. Rockefeller voted against the war resolution when he was on national television this morning."
Posted by: M. A. | March 3, 2008 1:31 PM
Fear mongering?
"…don't think that I care any less than Rudy Giuliani or Mitt Romney about making sure that my daughters don't get blown up."
"I live in Chicago. It's a much more likely target than Grundy County for the next terrorist attack."
…"this attitude that all Muslims are out to get us, and our only job is to think militarily and we can't find ways of creating an understanding with these countries, then we are destined to have an ongoing war, and we might as well sign up our young people now because it won't stop. It won't stop with Iran. We'll just keep on going and our country will be less safe over the long…"
These are some of Obama's comments made to an elderly woman in Iowa who asked, "I want to know specifically what you would do to protect this country from terrorism, and are we going to close the borders, and are we going to get rid of the illegal immigrants? He did not answer the rest of her questions.
Obama has been dismissing Clinton's recent ad as fear-mongering. Some people may not think what he said is fear mongering. I do. People in Chicago, in all cities and all young people may be fearful because of what he said.
I saw this video on Morning Joe (it's on YouTube under, Obama yells at elderly Iowa voter, and the second one is under, Barack Obama Answers National Security Questions.

" . . .On a conference call Friday with Hillary’s ever-more-hysterical male strategists, Slate’s John Dickerson asked exactly when she had been tested in a foreign policy crisis. After a silence long enough to knit a sweater in, as the Web site The Hotline put it, Mark Penn cited “her work on the Armed Services Committee.'"

Hillary should show the American people those documents she has sealed. She refuses to release to the public before election day like all the other canidates. Taxes which will show who is funding the campaign and documents which will confirm the work she claim to have done as first lady. She has been repeatly asked to provide and still have not. Bill knows why they are not releasing it -because the American people will be shocked to see the truth.

You can never be certain how things will shake out, but Republicans are pulling for Hillary and that says it ALL. No matter what happens, I will NEVER support a Clinton again (except George). Democrats are not supposed to act like Republicans. But when the pressure is turned up, the true colors show. Now if she showed this much passion in the bedroom, maybe Bill wouldn't have been chasing all those interns. And that is what folks - want BACK in the Whitehouse. Its a disgusting disgrace.

In response to jacksmith...
You might be an IDIOTA if you think ANYONE can fix this country. Yes, Hillary has her strengths alike the other candidates, however, she does INSPIRE THE MASSES. And you definetely need that to get anything done in Washington. Remember JFK--Obama is the closest thing to that. Hillary could never top that. An Obama win will create the opportunity for this once great country to take its first steps back to GREATNESS.

It's 3 a.m. and something's happening in the world and it takes a fully dressed Clinton to answer the phone after FIVE (5) rings. Now where do you suppose she's been? Could it be that an erratic woman been running around the white house chasing and trying to catch a philandering husband as he plays cat sex the mouse games with newly hired interns?
Who do you want answering that phone? A distracted woman, too pissed off and cant concentrate because her husband won't keep his pants up or somebody whose focused and can address the issue because he KNOWS his woman is in bed sleeping?

Ugh, you people! It looks like your stubbornness (and lemming-like discipline) is going to screw it up for the rest of us.

My worry is that Obama is much more out of the mainstream of America than he is out of the mainsteam of Democratic primary voters. He is VERY liberal in a country that is sick of the right-wing and Republicans but still skeptical of dyed-in-the-wool Liberals.
Hillary has her problems, but she's a moderate in a country looking for a non-Republican moderate. In a choice between a moderate Republican (McCain) and a liberal Democrat (Obama) I think the outcome is much less certain.
We win nothing by sending a young idealistic candidate like Obama to slaughter. The comparisons to Jack Kennedy are telling. He too was a young, untested, idealistic and LOUSY president who's failure to deliver resulted in plunging popularity that was only halted by his assasination. JFK BARELY got elected running against Richard Nixon... who was considered extremely damaged goods.
Let's learn something from history. I like Obama but he's not the candidate that is most likely to deliver on the goals that I think most of us on this blog share.

Don't vote for the "Woman President" or the "Veteran's President".
Vote for the "American President".
Vote Obama.
We need someone, who looks past labels and differences.

Hillary is A woman, but she's not her own woman. She said she wasn't going to stick by Bill in 1992 but suddenly made an about face and stuck by her man. Admirable at the time, I suppose, but it was just more calculation veiled in character.
HHKeller, you and all the rest of you casual feminists are so lame. World view isn't determined by gender, so quit standing by Hillary because of her chromosomes. She's mired in corruption, ambitious and hollow, and this slime machine is just the end of it. This purported great step for feminism ceased to be triumphant when the candidate proved to be half a person.
Hillary and her paper crown of vapid experience can drown in the mud she's been slinging. I have no sympathy for someone so revoltingly self-serving and nasty.

Why are they bragging about him carrying all the red states. They won't be carried by Dems. in Nov. So why don't we discount it as is. Hillary has won the blue states. S. Carolina, Georgia, Idaho, Alabama, Louisana,Kansas, so what?? Democrats hasn't carried them in yrs. WHATS THE BIG DEAL?????

I live in Ohio and I voted for Obama. I didn't want to wait til today, so I went Saturday. Let's just say here in Columbus (home of THEE Ohio State) there appeared to be many more Obama supporters on that day than Hillary supporters. Let's just hope that holds.
Go Obama!
