After witnessing Hillary live in action, downtown Cleveland Ohio, this evening I would like to take this oppotunity to claim that Ohio would be proud to boost Senator Clinton's numbers. Our local newspaper is proclaiming that; "It might all come down to Ohio." Which is most likely what every other state is assuming about their own March 4th primaries. It is true that Ohio has certainly seen it's fair share of voting problems. This year, though they have all of their ducks in a row. The polling locations are all stocked with ballots for the 1,053,144 registered voters, and 1,300 students are going to work the polls. But what does this mean for the Democratic party itself?

Among twenty two polls taken within several counties since late 2006, Hillary Clinton leads all other nominees by at least 17% in each poll. With the last few slips in the ratings that has Senator Clinton wondering is she can actually gain the democratic nomination, Ohio may be a major factor.

It has been said that whoever wins the Democratic nomination will land the Presidency, as well. After eight years of being stifled by a Republican White House, many think that it is past due. Where were all of these
