13. And why should Hillary supporters be worried about that poll?
1. That's a Northeast-Ohio-based poll. Northeast Ohio is steadily Democratic. I can only imagine what the south/central/western areas of Ohio would think, as they went heavy for Bewsh in 2004.

2. People who do not live in Ohio don't seem to get that Strickland and Sherrod Brown aren't Hillary Clinton. That's "tiger prevention" logic. Just because this state elected two relatively baggage-free, untouchable-by-MSM Dems doesn't mean the state is going to warm to a Clinton candidacy.

Brown ran on a populist message and spoke to the labor of this state and country, while his opponent simply had his face firmly planted in Bewsh's ass. Strickland is a minister, which gained him a lot of rural votes. Let's also not forget that they ran against two first-round draft pics of the most unabashed right-wing nutcases Ohio has ever seen in politics: Bewsh's most reliable rubberstamp Mike DeWine and Bewsh's most reliable 2004 flunky Ken Blackwell.

Hillary is a baggage-laden windsock who sealed the deal in 2005 with her "outsourcing will continue" speech to Indian business leaders. Ohio is a working-class state that's been bleeding jobs. We care about the needs of LABOR and ending this war. Everything else is a detail.
