7. There is one shocker in Ohio
As close as the election is Ohio Democrats think that Obama is going to be the nominee - even Hillary's supporters

But there's one undeniable fact among Democrats: They overwhelmingly think that Obama will win the November election, regardless of whom they support in the primary. Even nearly a third of Clinton supporters in the poll expect Obama to be the next president.

One of them is Diana Brenner, a 54-year-old psychologist from Columbus, who said she likes Clinton's experience and the way she can specifically explain her positions on health care and the economy.

Political analyst Michael Barone, writing in his blog at www.usnews.com earlier this week, took a Washington Post-ABC Poll showing Clinton with a seven-point lead in Ohio and tried to figure out what that would mean in terms of the delegate breakdown. He concluded that, if Clinton won Ohio by seven percentage points, she’d probably end up with only nine more delegates here than Obama – not enough to cut significantly into Obama’s lead in the delegate count.

Green, though, said that while a Clinton win by a small margin might not do her much good in the race for delegates, it could make it possible for her to carry on her struggling campaign.
