TPMtv: Texas / Ohio Preview

[brykmantra]

Obama's "message of hope" reminds me too much of Jimmy Carter. He'll get in there, totally optimistic and naive, and the old Washington system will tear him apart, just like it did to Carter, and just like it did to Hillary when she tried to reform health care. At least she knows what she's getting into this time around.

I agree

I don't dislike Hillary but she cannot beat McCain. If it comes down to the superdelegates and they pick Hillary we are screwed. McCain = 4 more years of Dumbya. Centurist my ass!

[MinuteMan9911]

I see super delegates and a contested nominee in the future.

[MinuteMan9911]

Republicans are crossing over big time to keep Hillary in and the Dem fight going! LOL!

Amongst latinoes

Clinton : 62%

Obama : 38%

Amongst AA

Obama : 82%

Hillary : 18%

White voters hold the key, and this is particularly bad for Obama. The Canadian government did Hillary a great favor and I think their apology may not have been heard by the voters or not taken seriously... Just hope she drops out soon though...

[FoShizzle951]

Obama is all bark and no bite.

Hillary is a fighter, Obama is not. So I will vote for Hillary.

As some one with a Latine American background im ashamed that alot of people with the same background as I vote for hillary just because she has been in public longer and she has been in the public longer. When I see people give broad and simple answers, it gives me the creeps. Just like some one said, she does very well with people who are missinformed or barely informed at all. What the hell, she thinks im going to vote for her just because she takes a photo with a kid dressed asa mariachi?

[Pozzi2003]

Josh,

You repeat a couple of memes that you should examine a little closer. First, that Hillary does better amongst Latinos. Seems that she does better amongst older and lower information voters. Secondly, that caucuses favor Obama. Seems more that his campaign strategy is more successful at GOTV and the ground game for caucuses, not that there is something intrinsic about caucuses or Obama himself that accounts for that.

more analysis, please!

[schwirzl]

bring it to an end texas and ohio. Let s send these warmongers home / in jail

[dirkcallowayy]

best analysis i've heard yet today

[clmorgan]

I agree

[dutchhaze1]

Great. Personally, I think Hillary wins Ohio but not by a large margin. While Barack takes Texas because of his overwhelming support in the big cities like Austin, Dallas, and san Antonio. Houston is another story though.
