Today Hillary stepped up the campaign in the state of Ohio. She is
making it clear that the battle will be fought and won right here in
Ohio. Here is a video of her comments today. I have been waiting for
this moment for a long time.

I will feel better if she can get to 60%. Also the same in TX 60%.
widen the spread of delegate over Obama.

THAT would make me ECSTATIC!

I really want to fly to TEXAS to be there on March 4 and get every last voter in there!

I love the rally picture with that 90s image of Hillary. It's so endearing.

GREAT VIDEO FOOTAGE!

http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080215/VIDEO09/80215011

I like how Hillary get's fired up in this clip when she is talking about the "American Dream". Great stuff. Real passion, not faux passion to sell a fantasy product like her opponent.

Hello everyone! First I would like to say that we here in Ohio, need all the help we can get from each and every Hillary supporter, we need to reach over 2 million voters before March 4th. So please go to hillaryclinton.com and make those calls, and not only to Ohio, but to Texas as well!

We need people to call the Mayor of Cincinnati, a black man and super delegate, and leave messages on why he should support Hillary. He has not endorsed anyone yet.

Yes, Hillary is up on Obama in Ohio, anywhere from 17 to 22 points depending on the poll, but I am still not happy! I WANT A 30 POINT + WIN! Ohio and Texas is the firewall to stop this cult like fascination with Obama! To be frank, Hillary needs Ohio and Texas! PERIOD! I tell you, it is exciting working for Hillary in Ohio right now, people here are ticked off, not only over Bush and the republicans, but over the promises of Obama, promises that sound good, but when asked to explain his solutions, he runs and hides.

I also want to thank the site Admin for putting up our posters for our Rally For Hillary in Cincinnati Ohio on Sunday, March 2. It is going to be a great time with plenty of fun for everyone, we are spending over $3,000.00 on this event on food alone. We are also working on webcasting the event live for those who do not live near here.

We will have plenty of guests speakers. Sophie B. Hawkins was going to fly in just to sing her song "Damn! Wish you were president!" The campaign was going to rearrange her flight so she could be here, and actually said that they wanted her to be here, but, the campaign also needed her in Dallas the next day for an event (that was planned a while back ago). They could not find a flight early enough on that Monday morning to be in Dallas when the campaign wanted her there. But she is now going to send us a personalized video for the event, and promised to be here before the general election. We are working on another performer now.

We are working on the governors of Ohio and Kentucky to be at the event, and there are "rumors" out there that someone else may show up :) Our poster about the event has been sent to several people within the campaign, I have had some calls from the campaign on the specifics of the event, so our fingers are crossed. But regardless of who shows up, its going to be a GREAT TIME! With great press coverage!

[CGP]

HillaryOhio - thank you for this great update. It is inspiring to connect with everyday people who are so passionate about Hillary's candidacy. I am confident that Texas and Ohio will be kind to Hillary. Many people are waking up to Obama's propaganda and they are not happy! No-one likes to be fooled and Obama has done a good job at that. But we know differently about who is most qualifed to be the next president and that is Hillary Clinton.

Great news that Sophie B Hawkins is doing what she can to help promote Hillary. And I am very curious to know who the mystery person is that will turn up to some of these upcoming events? I sure hope it's John Edwards.

Clinton stumps in Ohio (Feb 15/16) at: WATCH VIDEO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unr7v89MyXY)

She better take care of her voice - she can't afford to lose it at this crucial point!!!!

Hillary is sounding more determined and passionate than I have heard her in a while. It's very, very encouraging to see how strongly she is still holding up even after the media bias and rubbish over the past couple of weeks.

Let's not get complacent over the current poll numbers. Obama's campaign has released flyers encouraging Republicans and Independents to come out in the upcoming key states to vote against Hillary. As the days draw on, we may not see a difference in the poll numbers, but we all know how misleading they can be. Our efforts have to go into overdrive if Hillary has any chance at all to prevail.

Agreed 100%. And Obama needs to target Rep and Indep because traditional democrats strongly favor Hillary. And we've also heard of reports of Rep voting for Obama just so Hillary doesn't get the nomination. Despite what they say publicly, the GOP would be very scared of having to battle against Hillary because she can easily withstand their venom. Obama, on the other hand, is an easy beat for the GOP.

I will have a look around. The blogging is important as there are plenty of Obama supporters spreading smear about Hillary. They need to be counteracted with accurate and positive representations of our candidate.
