Ohio to close to call so why no polls, only Texas Polls

0 votes

Interesting that you hear about McCain in Texas and how he has a double digit lead over Huckabee and Paul, but you don't see any polls or media on Ohio where its too close to call. John McCain's Pro NAFTA stance will not fly with Ohio Republicans who have abandoned that type of thinking.

In addition, Texas divides its delegates by district, so John McCain will not win all 100+ delegates. I would say that in the Austin District, Ron Paul's own Congressional District and the District where Ft. Hood is located he will do very well. I also see Huckabee doing very well in the Dallas Area. McCain has the Bush stronghold of Houston and of course the Bush family ranch

Then there is Vermont where anything can happen.

Ha ha those polls are a joke here is why

SurveyUSA completely innacurate because of the way they ask their questions.

But the big one is Zogby which showed McCain with a double digit lead over Huckabee in Virginia, yet Huckabee led all night and only lost by the skin of his teeth.

Not sure what the RCP is, never heard of it

All the Ohio delegates are

All the Ohio delegates are nonbound so it really doesn;t matter who wins there.

Texas is the only state we really need to be worried about.

SGP, I fully realize we're talking in presumptive terms....

at this point, however, what percentage of Texas precincts ( or districts, I'm not sure which) does McLaim have to win to move from "possibly" securing 1192 "bound" delegates to the "probability" of securing 1192 "bound" delegates. I know we are not dealing in definitive terms by any means. You've mentioned Texas as the most important state (swingstate?) from this day henceforth. Just trying to get a palpable sense of Dr. Paul's current status. Any opinion(s) would be greatly appreciated.
