Hillary is completing her most important push in Texas and Ohio. These two states could not be more different, but Hillary holds distinct advantages over Barack Obama in Ohio.
Hillary's simple and powerful economic solutions for the looming recession ring true with the so-called "lunch-bucket" Ohio democrats. Ohio democrats are traditionally not overly impressed by rhetoric and therefore will be drawn to her message. Ohio has been hit hard by the loss of manufacturing jobs and are hungry for a solution to those problems. Hillary really has some meaty solutions to a lot of those problems, including modifing NAFTA, a signature program of her husband's adminstration.
Hillary's "east coast" advantage that she seems to enjoy in states near her New York senate district will bode well for her Rhode Island chances.
Texas is a whole 'nuther animal altogether. Hillary's original Hispanic base may be slipping away from her. Even though she has ties to the state, Obama has more money and boots on the ground in this crucial state.
Here's what I want to hear more about:
March 1, 2008 · Advocates of NASA's plan to return to the moon are concerned that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has said he will raid NASA's budget
Check this out at NPR.
It's a little-known fact but one that cuts me deeply and should cut all of us...this is the future of our species and Obama will keep us behind Europe, Russia and China, where we are already falling short.
I'm a real astrophysicist btw, not some paid helper for Clinton....
