In Texas, Survey USA and Rasmussen, two of the more accurate pollsters, both show a 1% lead for Obama heading into tomorrow's vote. Both pollsters showed a 4% lead for Obama a week ago on February 25.
In Ohio, Rasmussen shows a 6% Clinton lead, up from 2% a week ago. Survey USA shows a 10% Clinton lead, up from 6% a week ago.
Obama had her on the ropes after Iowa, but Hillary hung in there with a surprise win in New Hampshire. On Super Tuesday, the Obama campaign talked openly of winning Massachusetts and California. Instead, Hillary won the big states handily.
Obama then reeled off 11 straight wins, and again, the pundits said Hillary was through. If Hillary holds Texas and Ohio, Obama will have failed to "seal the deal" for a third time, mostly because of push-back from traditional Democrats.
Traditional Democrats are looking to overturn three decades of right-wing government. They are not much interested in some gauzy "transformation." Really, what exactly is "transformation" anyway? If it means a starry-eyed bipartisanship, and a split-the-difference blaming of both sides, traditional Democrats say forget it. We didn't suffer a thirty-year-long political wilderness for that!
