| This race will be decided in the same state that decided the 2004 election |

Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 04:00 PM by NJSecularist
Texas will be an uphill battle for Obama to win. I don't expect him to win it. He could come close.
The state that will ultimately decide this race is Ohio.
Can Hillary hold off Obama's (potential) momentum until Ohio? The next 9 or so states heavily favor Obama. She needs to steal a few states along the way.
Then we get to the same battle ground state that decided the 2004 election, Ohio. In my opinion, if Hillary wins both Ohio and Texas, she will win the nomination.
But if Obama wins 6 or 7 of the next 9 states, and then wins Ohio, he will win the nomination, pending he keeps Texas close.
If both candidates win an equal amount of states in these next 9 contests and each of them win one of the Texas and Ohio contests, brokered convention, here we come. But if Obama wins the majority of the next 9 contests and then wins Ohio, Obama will win the nomination, IMO.

Please, one of you run away with it.
Don't let the party leaders decide it for us.

| 2. I think Obama has a good chance at Ohio, despite the polls, but they don't vote until March. |

that Indiana (May 6th) may decide the Democrat nominee. Finally, my vote may mean something for a change!!

| 9. If Obama comes close in Texas |
|
It will be a big coup for him. Given his hispanic history this election, he can't be that hopeful.
