March 2, 2008, 2:40 p.m.FTA:
Clinton, a New York senator, and Obama, an Illinois senator, are tied with 47 percent support each among Texas voters, the poll conducted Feb. 29-March 1 found. A similar poll taken Feb. 27-28 had Obama leading 51-44 percent.
Tight race.

March 2, 2008, 2:50 p.m.Well being an outsider I am always amazed at all the polls taken in the US.
Now on Tuesday we will see if polls are even close to what they suggest, probably not

March 2, 2008, 4:56 p.m.I think there is a certain percentage of poll responders who just want to take the poll takers for a ride, and give answers to questions that may be far off the mark.
Take a state like Texas. Do you think a Texan worth her/his salt is going to tell the pollster what s/he thinks about the candidates?
The correct answer-"none of your business"-gets converted to a more palatable 5 or 6 on a ten-point scale!
And if someone like Carl Rove is involved in preparing the questionnaire, he can skew it any way he wants!
I can tell you who is going to win Texas and Ohio primaries, but to keep you guessing, I am going to say "It will be either Obama or Hillary!

March 2, 2008, 8:31 p.m.Well I'll just say that either of them should be better than Bush.
The one I wanted is no longer in the race. So we are stuck with these two.
One with little experience the other with a husband who was judged more for his extra marital affair than his good work in office.
Yes he made some mistakes NAFTA being the worst one in my eyes.
But compared to Bush. Well there is no comparison Bush is beyond words to exlain his terrible reign.

March 2, 2008, 10:19 p.m.Hillary Clinton is and will make one of our best presidents this country will ever have. She has Bill, behind her and he was great. Time to have a change, well lets change to the one who will stand up for this country, and with her experience she will win. You go Hillary.

March 2, 2008, 11:16 p.m.If Hillary takes Ohio but loses Texas, her campaign will be on life support, but it can still go on to Pennsylvania. But if she loses Ohio, despite the support of the Ohio Democrat establishment, it's taps.

March 2, 2008, 11:45 p.m.One of the failings with the polls this season is they are questioning "Likely Democratic Voters." That means people who are registered Democrats and always vote in primaries. That's Hillary's base. Obama has been winning because even if Hillary does well among her base, she gets next to no votes from independents and Republicans. Obama wins them. He wins the youth vote, and the youth vote ACTUALLY turns out for him.
So what "Likely Democratic Voters" are going to do Tuesday has little or nothing to do with who will win. I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that the polls are wrong.

March 3, 2008, 12:21 a.m.I find the media in the USA endlessly interesting - especially their non-take on this story, covered by the Times of London:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_...
titled: "Mansion 'mistake' piles the pressure on Barack Obama"
I'm not necessarily saying that he did anything wrong (the evidence is inconclusive), but I am tired of reading endless, minute scrutiny of HRC's every action for the last 20 years while Obama is let alone on things such as this.

March 3, 2008, 1:28 a.m.One of Obama's brief speeches on CNN, most definly confirmed to me that if he gets in that our troops will be in Dafur and other parts of Africa. Our economy is in bad straits. We the working class, both lower and middle class can't keep ourselves fed, let alone in our homes. The economy affects everything, clear to our military, security and what they have to fight or use to defend our country with. We need to pay off the deficit once again. I find that Hillary is into the survival of this country and not into giving as much money away in foreign aid till this country is better on it's feet. For those that say that Blacks are denied opportunity you are wrong. Open your eyes that is what is keeping the wide divide going. The fact that people dwell on it as a crutch makes it stay alive and gives more fuel to those that would use them. We don't need new world leader, that was Bush Jr's intention. I want one that cares about this country and the People first. GO Hillary GO!

March 3, 2008, 1:30 a.m.WAKE AMERICA, TRANSPARENCY is REALLY IMPORTANT; something the Clintons have difficulty"I never had sex with that woman".."Hillary I really never agreed with the war in Iraq" Talk about the Texas 2 step!!Tim Russet in the last debate said to Hillary"WE KNOW your husband has business OVERSEAS, When are you going to DISCLOSE your TAX RETURNS.quickly she said AFTER the primaries WAKE UP AMERICA Tax RETURNS show us that Bill has business partner with the EMIR of DUBI and Hillary has collected money from OIL and Health industries for her campaign!!What People are seeing is INTEGRITY and HONESTY in Obama and NEVER negative during the 20 debates Hilary and Bill are showing a lack of Transparency and Honesty intheir responses and secrecy for NOT disclosing their TAX RETURNS as has OBAMA and McCain. EVERYONE should be talking about this and emailing to CNN and MSNBC to INVESTIGATE and talk about this FACT ALL day MONDAY 3/4/08 so Ohio and Texas people know this fact!!

March 3, 2008, 1:57 a.m.You can't cripple the corporate world. We need it, as it needs some of us. That would be a great mistake. Here we go again, Bill Clinton's sex life, At least he was with a woman and not soliciting some man in a public bathroom stall by tapping his toes. If anything, Bill is getting his punishment on a daily basis. Most women divorce a man instantly, which really doesn't punish them cause they just go to more women. When it comes to Tax returns, I believe they have a disclosure in Congress already.

March 3, 2008, 2:06 a.m.CLINTON's TaX RETURNS are not going to be disclosed until AFTER primaries according to HILLARY. Tax returns would show that Bill has business partner with the EMIR of DUBI, OIL, and Hillary has accepted Health industry money also for her campaign!!She will owe on day one to these 2 industries and can NOT change health or bio fuels without some payback to them such as MANDATED universal health care where the fines are less than garnishing your wages to MAKE someone pay for the plan and these fines will pay off the health care industry for helping pay for Hillary's campaign. WAKE UP AMERICA Even McCain and Obama disclosed their Tax RETURNS. It will be too late if you do not DEMAND TRANSPARENCY from the Clintons and their HISTORY is to be and keep SECRETS..TRUST THEM? She did not even read the report that said NO to the Iraq war! My son is a USNAVY SEAL and even he said there was NO weapons of mass destruction.

March 3, 2008, 6:37 a.m.sounds like a pretty sexist way of choosing someone for such an important job. Funny that a democrat would make such statements but then again not.

March 3, 2008, 6:37 a.m.AMERICAN RESEARCH GROUP INC is a company with 16 employees that has had consistently screwey polls that do not match up with any other polls done. They also have Clinton camp ties.
So when everyone else says they are in a dead heat ARG comes out with Hillary as a winner. I guess they are hoping for a few more votes as some will likely feel a pressure to go with the likely "winner".
Just another sign of Hillary's desperation.

March 3, 2008, 9:23 a.m.If one remembers that these are not yet the real elections ...
It´s much more interesting than in Russia, isn´t it. I am of the opinion that Hillary and her rival should work together after the decision. They´d be a great team, I think. Clinton´s coolness and Obama´s charisma, her experience and his enthousiasm of youth. Mixed up into one single person, they were the perfect democratic candidate!

March 3, 2008, 9:15 a.m.Why would anyone in their right mind vote for Hillary????
She is for all the big corporations who just want to exploit middle class Americans and the world of their resources.She has attended meetings with the Bilderbergs who are for the "New World Order". She didn't even have the huevos to leave a marriage which was a facade
