Good news for Hillary in Pennsylvania, Ohio

TRIBUNE-REVIEW

By: Salena Zito

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Barack Obama faces an uphill climb to defeat Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania and Ohio, according to a Quinnipiac University poll conducted in the state last week.

Clinton leads Obama 52 percent to 36 percent among likely Democratic voters in Pennsylvania. Ohio's numbers are similar with Clinton at 55 percent to Obama's 34 percent.

It should be noted that the poll was taken before Obama’s stunning wins this week in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., where an erosion of the Clinton constituency began to take hold.

“Whether the demographic gains that Obama

Hillary is in for a BIG SURPRISE in Pennsylvania!

My prediction for PA: Obama—67%— blacks, hispanics, undecideds, young voters, unemployed voters, anti-war voters.

Hillary—33%— old commies, fat lesbians, and Ed Rendell.

Don’t forget Fast Eddie is working for her in PA. And you know how good he is at getting Philly to manufacture the necessary votes.

Clinton is going to get the Democrat vote Texas as well.

She’s shmooooozing real hard with the Latino community.

Obama is going to get crushed. The media’s pretty boy, the over-hyped battle between the two (Conflict sells, as usual), Obama in reality has a snowballs chance in hell. He’s no match to her established political clout and programmed campaign. Obama blew his wad and soon his fortune will turn.

If Hillary survives Ohio, Texas etc and goes on to win the nomination and then the Presidency, do you really want it on your conscience that you once voted for her?

Just going on what I hear from a DIVERSE assortment of people.

Everyone hates Hil, and they hate Fast Eddie even more.

And with the new electronic voting machines and vigilant pollwatchers from both parties, it’s getting harder to cheat—even in Philly.

We need these two socialists to trade victories back and forth all the way to the convention. We want their war to end about as much as we wanted the Iran vs Iraq war to end.

Suddenly there is all this "good news for Hillary in OH and PA". A few days ago Hillary's firewall was to be "OH and TX". Last night James Carville said on LKL that "if Hillary doesn't win OH and TX it's over." Hmmm. Does Hillary now expect to lose TX on March 4th and yet intend to keep going until PA on April 22nd? LOL! This thing might not be close to being over yet folks!

If Hillary wins PA, OH and is close or wins Texas it’s OVER for OBAMA.

My prediction for Philadelphia:

Hillary 49%
Obama 64%

Remember, this is a Dem. election in a Dem controlled city.
Anything could happen

If history is any indication, by the time of the vote, he’ll pull ahead and take both states.

At this point a Hillary nomination will be the best possible outcome because she will have to get by blackmailing the super delegates and pissing off half the party.

She needs to win both Texas and Ohio by 20% so she can come close to him in the number of delegates. Obama is ahead of Hillary by almost 130 pledged delegates (Super Delegates are not counted), both Ohio and Texas have a combined 334 delegates. Since the democrats allocate their delegates proportionally based on the popular vote then a 20% difference in both Ohio and Texas will net her around 65-70 delegates and he will still be ahead of her by another 60 delegates.

The same leads she had in the mid-Atlantic. The same polls that showed a Romney and then Huckabee surge.

Polls are meaningless.
