I've never really liked Ohio, and I probably still don't, but this I like.

:sigh:

CLINTOWNED!!!

From what it looks like, as well, Ohio is a pretty big win for the HRC.

like you thought she would lose...Ohio...?

Regardless of the outcomes in the coming days, it's pretty clear that the voters, the delegates, etc. are all pretty fairly split. There is no predominance by one side over the other. Obama is ahead, and likely to pull it out, but not predominant. And the theory that Clinton is a big fat loser is disproven.

If the no. 2 is so close, shouldn't they get the no. 2 spot and isn't that the easiest way to avoid division going to the general election?

unPC, this all hinges on the willingness of one another's supporters to go for that. Can obama supporters handle being 2nd fiddle or hillary being veep? vice versa?

I dont think obama supporters are nearly as enthused about either prospect as much as hillary supporters are.

I hate Ohio. They gave us Bush for 4 more years. Now they are keeping Clinton in the race longer so that she can continue to tear down Obama and he'll eventually tear into her leaving us with a weak Democratic candidate for the general and we'll get stuck with McCain.

What irony. Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus - they were the cities I always considered the most right wing when I was growing up in Ohio. Cleveland, Toledo and Youngstown are old lefty towns.

Thank god I moved to Seattle...

@8 People who vote for HRC are just so inconsiderate!

OK, so if Clinton won by 60%, how many more delegates than Obama does that get her to tighten the gap?

Again, who cares who "wins"?

OK, so I did the math, and Clinton would tighten the gap with Obama by 26-28 delegates.

...which is around the same amount of delegates Obama *won* against Clinton here in Washington.

In other words, Ohio and Washington cancelled each other out in net delegate gains for either.

*Yawn* so boring.

Obama's farts stink, but Hillary's girl gas smells like a bouquet of roses.

With three sisters in Ohio who represent the basic Clinton demographic (white women in their 60s), Hillary's win there means we just have to do a little more sorting out. Deal.
