Obama Overtakes Hillary In Texas

It's starting to look like next Tuesday could be Hillary's last stand.

A new CNN /Opinion Research poll finds Obama ahead of Hillary Clinton Texas 50%-46%. In a similar poll taken a week before, Hillary held a 50%-48% lead.

Keep in mind these numbers are within the polls sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for Democratic respondents, so statistically, the race is a virtual tie.

The poll was conducted February 22-24.

Even Bill Clinton concedes that a loss in Texas or Ohio would doom Hillary's candidacy:

"If she wins Texas and Ohio I think she will be the nominee. If you don't deliver for her, I don't think she can be. It's all on you," the former president told the audience at the beginning of his speech.

Yesterday, Hillary advisor Harold Ickes, "dropped a hint that March 4 will produce a decision point":

"I think if we lose in Texas and Ohio, Mrs. Clinton will have to make her decisions as to whether she moves forward or not," he said. He paused, then added: "as she has at the end of every other state."

According to the Houston Chronicle, Ickes would not go as far as Bill Clinton and proclaim Texas and Ohio must-win states:

"I wouldn't want to fly in the face of President Clinton," Ickes said. "What I will say is it is important that she do very, very well."

There is still a week before the Texas primary, but unless Hillary pulls off one of those miracles Mike Hukabee is still looking for, we can stick the fork in this campaign.

They spent a half million bucks on flowers and a hundred thousand on dough nuts. Lamps and ashtrays? Chump change!................

ROBERTS: The only group she still really has is white women, and I do think that there's some possibility that you will see a sort of reaction among white women. I had the opportunity to interview Billie Jean King this week. And she said, "You know, I feel like everything I've worked for all my life is going out the window," and there is that sense. I mean, here is this woman who worked hard. She's done it all the way you're supposed to do it, and then this cute young man comes in and says a bunch of sweet, you know, nothings, and -- and pushes you out of the way. And a lot of women are looking at that and saying, "There goes my life."

Hill will still be in the Senate

But she’ll never get that loser tag off her forehead.

Tattoo it on her, Texas Freepers.

Bury the Beeotch.

thats a good point but I also feel as though that was back when the news actually reported news... the Communist News Network and NY Slime must realize that they cant really make much of a big deal of it if it happens because to do so would aliente much of their own core support and connections with other Clinton worshippers

[Dilbert San Diego]

yep stake through the heart is what it will take.

or to use the werewolf legend, you need to load a gun with a silver bullet and shoot it.

The Clintons never give up. Even now, Bill is plotting something with the super delegates or that business with the Michigan and Florida delgaations. I don’t know that she is able to figure everything out, but Bill is a political operative who will stop at nothing.

"What do Freepers think?"

I say we beat them one at a time. First Hitlery in the primaries, then O'Bama in the general.

HAHAHA I love how apparently “doing it the right way” according to feminists now means staying with a cheating scumbag of a husband to profit yourself rather than attempting to go out and reach your goals by yourself... a little contradictory in that statement that a woman can do anything without reliance on a man but at the same time they “do it the right way” when they needed to rely on a man to get where they were.... I just don’t get how feminists can even view Hillary as one... yes she is all for baby killing and other feminist causes but she is hardly supportive of the notion of an independant woman

And Billie Jean King is a typical woman? She’s a lesbian and doesn’t look at things the way other people do. I can’t believe that women look at Hillary’s campaign problems and think that we’re turning back the clock on women’s rights and all that if she loses. Sheesh.........

[radiohead]

Things can go wrong, not to mention that the underhanded tactics of the Clinton crime family could, somehow, allow her to steal the election.

I agree with you. My son and I argue about whether it is better for Hillary or Obama to win. While I do think Obama may be harder to defeat (harder, not impossible), Hillary is an underhanded, thieving, lying commie bi$ch. I do not want her name on the ballot. I do not want there to be any chance she might be president.

Like a lot of Dims, Obama is misguided. I do not think he is evil. Hillary, on the other hand, is evil. Cut the bi$ch off at the pass and get her out of the game.

To expand on Zuben's post:



Angry White Women Cry Sexism: Mrs. Clinton's fall is not sitting well with white women.

When your baby

And no body, rings on the telephone

Don't you feel like cryin?

Don't you feel like crying, like crying, like crying?

Come on baby, Cry

OK, but since you're in Texas, what's with the 'tattoo'? You need a BRAND ....... red hot & preferably the size of a cow butt.

Hillary’s “Outraged” Tour 2008 continues into the week before Texas and Ohio show her the door once more. As Novak says who has the courage to “bell the cat?” The crowds are sparse for Hill and Bill to rant their message. but the news media don’t want this to end quite yet. Jerry Ferraro needs to gain the courage of the New York delegation and tell Hill to shut up. Her adoring crowds, all fifteen of them cheer madly, take their state provided medications and go back to sleep

McCain can beat Hillary or Obama. Too many hate Hillary and a black man with the name like Barrack Hussien Obama will get his as kicked in the general. Its going to be fun watching Hillary getting beat and getting beat by a black guy with a middleastern name.

There. Fixed it for her. The hypocrite.

“As Coroner, I must aver,
I’ve thoroughly examined her,
And she’s not only merely dead,
She’s really must sincerely dead!”

Then this is a day of independence, for all Americans and their descendants!

[King of Florida]

I will not consider Hillary dead until the coroner puts a toe tag on her.

Yup. We were all declaring her dead between Iowa and NH, and she's still riding the broomstick. But I do hear the unmistakable sound of the munchkin coroner clearing his throat . . . .

You deservedly win the post of the day award for using a cup of brevity and a cup of humor to bake a masterpiece.

It was delicious.
