Fox: Hillary wins Ohio

Brit Hume: "As you can see, the margin is now almost 200,000 votes. There are a lot of votes still out there, we concede, but Hillary Clinton wins Ohio, and wins it, possibly -- for all we know, she may win it comfortably."

Another state for the 'big state' argument.

The "big state" argument sucks. The far better argument is that voters are souring on Obama as they learn more about him, the media glow wears off, etc. That argument, I can see potentially gaining traction, depending on how things go over the next couple of months. For the first time in quite a while, I can conceive of a possible Clinton nomination, for that reason... but not because of some irrelevant "big state" nonsense.

P.S. The "diversity" argument doesn't fly. Obama's victories, as a whole, show massive diversity in terms of the "types" of voters he's attracting. Neither candidate is by any means one-dimensional in terms of their support.

I know the argument sucks but brace yourself to hear about it more and more.

Agree, the "big states" are just as likely to go Dem over Rep in November whether the nominee is Clinton or Obama.

[Brendan Loy]

Oh, I know.

Frankly, though, I think the Clinton folks now have a few legitimate arguments they can use, and it would be great if they'd stick with those, and leave the intellectually dishonest spin (e.g., picking and choosing which states "count") out of it.

Too much to ask, I know.

[Brendan Loy]

Yes, Joe Mama. Or just as unlikely, as in the case of Texas.

[Joe Mama]

True.

Just heard an interesting point raised that the Democrats may decide to change the rules and decide to seat delegates from FL and MI because to not do so would risk alienating Dem voters in those two key states in November.
