Clinton leading Obama in Ohio, Pennsylvania
2008-02-15
Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has double-digit leads over Barack Obama in Ohio and Pennsylvania, both crucial states in upcoming primaries, according to Quinnipiac University poll released on Thursday.

Clinton, a New York senator, has lost eight straight nominating contests to Illinois Sen. Obama, but leads him 55 percent to 34 percent among likely Democratic primary voters in Ohio, the poll found.

Among Ohio Democrats, women back Clinton, 56 percent to 30 percent for Obama, while men back Clinton 52 percent to 42 percent, the poll found.

White Democrats favor Clinton 64 percent to 28 percent, while Obama leads 64 to 17 percent among black voters, according to the survey. "Ohio is as good a demographic fit for Sen. Clinton as she will find," Peter Brown, an Quinnipiac University Polling Institute official, said in a statement.

#3  The Pennsylvania primary is over two months away. A lot can happen in two months. For instance, ignorant Democrats (not that there would be many) might stop answering polls on long-term name recognition alone and might discover that this sounds-like-Osama guy is more attractive than this sounds-like-witch.

#1  Go, Hillsie, go! Yay, Ohio!

(I'll admit it, I'm selfish. I want a brokered convention and back-room dealing and floor fights. We haven't had one of those in a generation. It'll be fun.)
