Campaign volunteer Jeanine Michael has played a big role in Barack Obama's ground organization.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (CNN) - Hillary Clinton drew the early support of much of Ohio's Democratic Party and most of its high-wattage politicians. And she was the overwhelming choice of the blue-collar workers who form much of the state's Democratic base.

Barack Obama had his own staunch - if slightly less high-profile - Ohio loyalists: Valli Frausto and Jeanine Michael.

Now the Illinois senator has national momentum, and the resources to outspend Clinton on television advertising here by roughly 2-to-1. Still, as Tuesday's primary approaches and the battleground shifts from the airwaves to the the task of turning out the vote, the passion of a candidate's ground troops, not the size of the war chest, might be the most critical ingredient for success.

THE RESPONSE FOR CLINTONS LAST NEGATIVE ADD SHOULD BE:
" WERE WERE YOU HILARY WHEN YOUR HUSBAND WAS A PRESIDENT AND WAS IN THE OVAL OFFICE HAVING SEX WITH SOMEONE ELSE?"

Wake up America!
Educate yourself.
Obama is not muslim!

john compton   March 3rd, 2008 1:13 pm ET

There was a point I was going to vote for Hillary. But Obama will bring about greater change. Do we really need another 4 years of Clintons?

adams   March 3rd, 2008 1:12 pm ET

Barack hussain Obama continues his crusade that would have handed the White house to the Neo cons if he had won Texas and Ohio.

He has a big ego and little experience. For example just a few months ago he said the U.S. should bomb the hostile tribes in northern Pakistan. Only problem is for those who dont know(perhaps obama) Pakistan is a very volitile Nuclear armed allie.

Vote to take back our dear white house. Vote Hillary. Vote to win think!

Hillary had her her chance to do somthing for the last 35 years and has done nothing except get rich with deals like NAFTA that she approved of until recently. What about tax returns?? Lets have a president we can be proud of for a change. vote for OBAMA!!

Michael   March 3rd, 2008 1:12 pm ET

Excellent post NOWAY. The truth is important.

Just say Nobama to the snake oil salesman.

Michael   March 3rd, 2008 1:08 pm ET

Guess these Obama volunteers feel like they have been misled. There was no reason for Obama to speak to Canadian officials at this time. The campaign is not over and the general election has not yet begun. This is the arrogance that is currently being exposed by the Obama campaign. I hope this is addressed by the media in detail, even if Clinton does not get back in this race. People from Ohio should pay close attention to this behavior – snake oil salesman.

Do not count your Obamas before they hatch.......

Hillary for President!

js   March 3rd, 2008 12:58 pm ET

True change rests with the people.....I agree with Obama that you cannot pick and choose which experience you want....such as supporting NAFTA, privatizing Sallie Mae under Bill Clinton in 1997, supporting, then retracting support for drivers licenses for illegals, saying you voted for Iraq, but hoped it would fail......

Jed in Texas   March 3rd, 2008 12:53 pm ET

dont forget to clean out the Senate.60 votes are needed to get anything changed these days.

democracynow2008   March 3rd, 2008 12:48 pm ET

Hillary needs to have double digits to do well in Ohio and now the margin of lead is so close that even if she wins Ohio she loses.
I believe that Senator Obama can still take Ohio and win it by about 2-3 points over Clinton on Tuesdays Primary those that are thinking in Ohio of voting for Clinton but really like Obama I feel when they go in that voting booth will see the light and vote fo Senator Obama realizing this Country needs real change in Washington after 8 years of fear and failed policies by the Bush Whitehouse.
Hillary if she wins Ohio will not have that big win to leap her ahead .
Its time after Tuesday for Clinton to Unite with Obama and allow Senator Obama the ability to beat Seator McCain.
Go Obama Yes We Can in Ohio.

If those who are giving the phony anti-semitism business again, try to listen to last week's debate, please.

Being pro-Palestinian doesn't equal anti-semitic, either. Bill Clinton and Bush have pretty much done the same (two state solution, etc.)

wordslinger, chicago   March 3rd, 2008 12:40 pm ET

Clinton and Obama true believers deserve each other. They're all children thinking if they just get their way, everything will be okay. Grow up, America. Lot of work to be done.

Gary   March 3rd, 2008 12:37 pm ET

You Obama voters will regret it if he makes office.When are world gets took over by race and it falls hard dont whine.I see 50s-60s repeating itself but worst.He has already started dividing our countries people.We will have the worst civil war this country ever seen. You want change you will get it ,but not what your expecting. You knocked and slammed the only one that was qualified to be leader.I dont feel sorry for this country when it falls.You Americans decided to vote in a canadate with nothing to show but a big mouth. He will sell us out like hes buying you voters. concern viet nam vet .God help us all

Ivan, Chicago, Illinois   March 3rd, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Other Presidential candidates do find time to conduct other business than just campaigning for the Presidency.
But not Obama, for over one year he could not chair even one committee meeting. His reasoning he wants us to believe was his running for President.
I believe it was, since actions speak louder than words, and holding a meeting would meam actions were needed and Obama is such a good talker, it's easy and safer to just talk the talk, than to walk the walk.

Jay   March 3rd, 2008 12:32 pm ET

Obama gaining the backing of the teamsters and boiler makers should have helped him gain quite a significant number of "ground troops" in Ohio. The boiler makers that I was chatting with last time I was in Ohio (September) were really pulling for Edwards to be the nominee and my guess is if he’d backed either candidate it might have pushed them more towards voting for that candidate. I’d brought up Obama at the time and was told it was impossible so it was a fairly pleasant surprise to find out they were endorsing him.

I’m hoping Obama does well tomorrow since his ability to pull independent and republican voters away from the republican base makes him the more viable democratic candidate in my eyes.

leo   March 3rd, 2008 12:26 pm ET

Hillary must know that her nasty campaigning is hurting the democratic party. Hillary. it is stupid to have a superiority complex against someone who is clearly superior to you in every respect. Do the democratic party a big favor. If you end up trailing in pledged delegates after tomorrow's primaries/caucuses, show some dignity and throw in the towel. I know it will be difficult for you to hold your head up after this (since you were so nasty in recent weeks0, but you can do it. You did it when your husband was unfaithful. Dont degrade yourself anymore!!!

Faye   March 3rd, 2008 12:21 pm ET

I was an obama supporter, but I get tired of hearing that he did not vote for the war in Iraq and that his wisdom in being against the war makes him ideally suited to be the democratic nominee, if not president. Why?
-1 – he was not a senator at the time and was not privy to the intelligence presented to the Senators. Professing clairvoyance makes him less credible in my book. We want to know is what he will do about it.
-2 – Sen. Clinton, although one of the Senators who voted to authorize the war in Iraq, presented a recommendation on the floor to allow the inspectors to finish their work – that recommendation was rejected.
-3 – Sen. Clinton should not have to apologize for the war. She acted based on the intelligence presented to her and the other senators who now endorse Sen. Obama. If the facts have changed since then, she has shifted her position to apply to the facts as she knows it.

I believe Sen. Obama should not try to discredit Sen. Clinton's foreign policy experience based on this issue alone, particularly when he has failed to hold oversight meetings for Afghanistan. He has other merits to his character that his campaign should highlight.

DYW   March 3rd, 2008 12:19 pm ET

We Democrats MUST stick together!!! The Republicans are eating this up.

I am an Obama supporter, although not from the start. I live in Texas, was a member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and am delighted to be involved back in the political process again.

I am a little disenchanted with Hiliary because:

1) I believe she will do anything for HER to win, but not necessarily the party.

Elaine Nagle   March 3rd, 2008 12:18 pm ET

Senator Clinton's campaign is reflecting disorganization and in-fighting. Senator Obama's campaign is a work of art. Is this an omen about who would run the White House and the nation most effectively?

acenl   March 3rd, 2008 12:10 pm ET

The experince Clinton has is her ability to agree with issue she don't agree with. Is this how Ohio thinks someone in command should do things?

Vig   March 3rd, 2008 12:05 pm ET

Ground Troops? Is this a reference to warfare? I think using the term "ground troops" to define any part of Obama's campaign is an oxymoron. Obama is anti-military that's one of the reasons he keeps bragging about his not voting for the Iraq war. Actually, that seems to be what Obama does best – brag.

K. Pack - Humboldt, TN   March 3rd, 2008 12:04 pm ET

The "Neighborhood" will best "Hollywood" any day of any week in any campaign. Prospective voters want actual human intervention not scripted, Hollywood scenarios designed to "scare the vote" out of you.

CB   March 3rd, 2008 12:02 pm ET

GOD Bless the troops in the trenches for Obama, I too liked Clinton before the nomination process began. Hope, change and feeling part of the nomination process changed my support to Obama.

Charles   March 3rd, 2008 12:00 pm ET

After she actually falls further behind in delegates tomorrow, Hillary needs to leave the presidential race and do what is best for the Democratic party. This constant mudslinging only helps the GOP!

jp/michigan   March 3rd, 2008 11:58 am ET

Well he has paid ground troops, whose job is to call or knock on doors. Take voters to the polls then check after to make sure they voted. Courtesy of special interest groups, Move On and Vote Hope.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   March 3rd, 2008 11:40 am ET

As a native Ohioan whose father worked in the steel mill for many years when things were booming, change is a must. Ohio was prosperous and people had jobs and could feed their families, it saddens me to see Ohioans without jobs, without hope. Ohio, Obama can bring back the hopes and prosperity that I was afforded as a child. Vote Obama, your family is counting on you.

Vera   March 3rd, 2008 11:39 am ET

Where are the taxes? Is it true she received about 80M from Arab countries and that's why she won't release her taxes. Everybody wants to talk about Obama's middle name, lets talk about money which we all know is much more interesting. Follow the money. Oh, and by the way, it would be shameful to look at two states that the democrats agreed not to campaign in to get the numbers up for the Hill. Not fair already the fact that she went and said, "I'm not here to ask for your vote, but to thank you for your vote," she didn't keep her word and that was the most upsetting thing to me. American wants to be able to trust and believe in the new president. Hillary has distorted many Obama facts to her own demise. Stop! Hillary you cannot beat him by a 60% margin in either state and you are killing the party. Stop!

Electress   March 3rd, 2008 11:35 am ET

John G. why should she speak to his religion? Why didn't 60 minutes ask her about her religion, ever think of that? Maybe the question should have been on the consitution regarding religious freedom
in this Country. Maybe 60 minutes should have asked her why
women aren't allowed to be bishops, elders, and in leadership
positions in the Churches throughout this Country.

Maybe the question should be about Churches who are political
activist, whereby the sermon is all about who the members should
be voting for. Maybe the question should have been about those
Mega Churches and the millions upon millions that are tax exempt,
and the many unsuccessful based faith programs across this
country.

Maybe the question should have been about men who are abusing
our children, and how we should address the many abuses of the
church.

Shame on 60 minutes for not asking the real questions of Churches
that are degrading to our Counrty.

Charlotte   March 3rd, 2008 11:32 am ET

Obama -bots will no doubt try to find any fault they can. Obama is not the right person to be President. His claim to fame, "I was against the war." Oh wait, I wasn't sure when I was supporting Kerry. I think Al Qaeda in Afghanastan was the real threat, why I did not hold any meetings while chairing that committee, well I have been too busy campaigning for President for the past two years. The most important thing for me, is to be President. I will change the way Washington works. Every committee will be in name only. I will eliminate the Sec. of State position and meet with all foreign leaders, friends and foes. We must meet with the Canadians behind closed doors and tell them my words on NAFTA are just words to win votes. Change you can count on, yes you can???

Hillraisers eat your heart out wednesday, any ticket with Hillary on it will lose in the end, so the odds are 50/50 the half that don't like her will vote republican rather than to vote for her in the general.

It's a wait and see thingy, Have fun and donate a lot of your money to her.

Obama is going to kick her butt.

If you all do a web search for "Clinton Scams" and read the articles you pull up then you might vote for anyone but Clinton.

CNN hasn't been posting my blog because they support Hillary and my blog does not.

anita   March 3rd, 2008 11:15 am ET

Obama fans if he candidate wins the Dem nomination, ready your

candidate for the Republican attack machine.

This is literally kid's stuff compared to what will be unleashed on him

prior to the general election.

I suppose the outrage from the Obama camp will use its regular fall

back position with the consequence of driving away the moderates.

Steve Striedinger   March 3rd, 2008 11:08 am ET

Seriously Hillary Supporters, Let's focus on the issues, OBAMA is'nt perfect but he obviously excels at uniting people. IF we want to end this war and get universal healthcare we need someone like him to keep people motivated on actually DOING SOMETHING and not just the same old same old in Washington. OBAMA 09'-16'

Stacy Clarks, Texas   March 3rd, 2008 11:01 am ET

I agree that all the negativity is ridiculous!!! BOTH candidates are worthy, and whoever the nominee, we need to support them if we do not want another 4 years of Republican MESS!!!!!

I am for OBAMA all the way, but let's be real, if Hillary wins, then she will get my vote in November. She is an extraordinary woman, who is more than capable of being president. I just happen to believe that Obama is better for this country at this time!

either way, IM HAPPY!!!
DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE ECSTATIC THAT WE HAVE TWO BRILLIANT NOMINEES, INSTEAD OF TEARING EACH OTHER APART!!!!! DEMOCRATS 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!

Even at this late hour members of Hillary's campaign are trying to 'distance" themselves from the decision making issues...
LOL!LOL! Strange isn't it? Especially since her supporters seem to think she's flying high!
This race,I'm afraid is going to divide the party. The negative ad's the half truths, the innunedo,is already evident in the 'break down" of the polls.
This win at any cost attitude,isn't helping at all! The DNC needs to step in,otherwise Mccain is going to be our next President.

John G   March 3rd, 2008 10:53 am ET

Yes I saw 60 minutes and Senator Clinton did not fully commit to her answer that she does not believe Senator Obama is a Muslim. Geez, if someone was trying to hide it, you would think his name would be a nice American one like Joe Smith or George Bush.

I fully support Senator Obama and I do not hate Senator Clinton. She was my choice until Senator Obama became a candidate. People, we have good choices... Don't hate!

Go Obama!

stephanie   March 3rd, 2008 10:47 am ET

the smart nerdy girl who knows the answer to everything verses the cool guy with a great smile who copies her answers. oh and he's friends with the popular kids and he seems so rebellious. this is so highschool. universal healthcare–she covers everyone, national security–look at who supports her, children advocacy–she trumps him, again.

Alex J, Atlanta,GA   March 3rd, 2008 10:44 am ET

I would back Hillary only if i could keep up with her moods. One day she's crying .The next she's honored just to be running in the race with him. Now its shame on you Barack. While Barack has been cool and calm through out all the attacks and he has looked presidental through it all. Hillary may not be the first woman president but she should accept the role as a trail blazer for other woman like Nancy Pelosi or her daughter.

Billary Huckabee   March 3rd, 2008 10:40 am ET

Tomorrow will make the end of the Billary Huckabee campaign and all the negativity and then we can begin to focus on Sydney McCain and all the RepubiCONs negativity...

Fact – Billary Huckabee's 35 years of experience (12 – 1st Lady of Ar-kansas, 8 1st Lady of US, 8 Junior Senator from New York and been in elected office less the Senator Obama)

Fact – Ready from Day 1 – But, lacked the correct Judgement on Iraq, Lacked the right Judgement on NAFTA and lacked any judgement on running her campaign.

Fact – Solutions for America – but doesn't have a solution to running her campaign, vision for America or winning America's trust

These real times REQUIRE REAL LEADERSHIP and JUDGEMENT, TEXAS and OHIO put an end to the BILLARY HUCKABEE campaign tomorrow – VOTE OBAMA 08 and 12

dmw   March 3rd, 2008 10:39 am ET

Ohio and the rest of the America, I hope you read the AP article on how Obama told the Canadians that he does not really support changing NAFTA, he just said it for political purposes. I hope the folks in the midwest who voted for Obama and now knows that he tells a funny version of the truth will be more logical, realistic and do research before you vote for someone just because they speak in wonderful terms and give good speeches. Ya'll have been played!

Kevin   March 3rd, 2008 10:35 am ET

Think about how scary this is!

1) Dmitry Medvedev wins Russian presidential vote by a landslide with a scam vote!

2)Troops from Ecuador and Venezuela have been ordered toward their borders with Colombia amid a tense crisis that threatens to erupt into war

3) Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants us out of Iraq

AND WE HAVE BARACK OBAMA WITHOUT ANY EXPERIENCE AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

Frodaddy   March 3rd, 2008 10:35 am ET

Say What, Barrack?

By Paul R. Hollrah

Tuning in to C-Span recently, I found myself listening to a speech by Senator Barrack Hussein Obama, Jr. He was standing in the pulpit of a black church in Selma, Alabama, and as I studied the body language of the dozen or so black ministers standing behind the senator, I couldn't help but be reminded of the little head-bobbing dolls that people used to place in the rear windows of their 1957 Chevrolets. If their reactions are any indication, the new "Schlickmeister" of the Democrat Party is actually a pretty accomplished public speaker.

However, as he spoke, I found my b.s. alarm going off, repeatedly. But I couldn't quite figure out why until I actually read excerpts of his speech several days later. Here's part of what he said:

"...something happened back here in Selma, Alabama. Something happened in Birmingham that sent out what Bobby Kennedy called, "ripples of hope all around the world." Something happened when a bunch of women decided they were going to walk instead of ride the bus after a long day of doing somebody else's laundry, looking after somebody else's children.

"When (black) men who had PhD's decided 'that's enough' and 'we're going to stand up for our dignity,' that sent a shout across oceans so that my grandfather began to imagine something different for his son. His son, who grew up herding goats in a small village in Africa could suddenly set his sights a little higher and believe that maybe a black man in this world had a chance.

"So the Kennedy's decided we're going to do an airlift. We're going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is.

"This young man named Barack Obama got one of those tickets and came over to this country. He met this woman whose great great-great-great- grandfather had owned slaves; but she had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided that we know that, (in) the world as it has been, it might not be possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. Was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I'm not coming home to Selma, Alabama."

Okay, so what's wrong with that? It all sounds good. But is it?

Obama told his audience that, because some folks had the courage to "march across a bridge" in Selma, Alabama, his mother, a white woman from Kansas, and his father, a black Muslim from Africa, took heart. It gave them the courage to get married and have a child. The problem with that characterization is that Barrack Obama, Jr., was born on August 4, 1961, while the first of three marches across that bridge in Selma didn't occur until March 7, 1965, at least five years after Obama's parents met.

Obama went on to tell his audience that the Kennedys, Jack and Bobby, decided to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over so that they could be educated and learn all about America. His grandfather heard that call and sent his son, Barrack Obama, Sr., to America.

The problem with that scenario is that, having been born in August 1961, the future senator was not conceived until sometime in November 1960. So if this African grandfather heard words that ''sent a shout across oceans," inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to America, it was not a Democrat Jack Kennedy he heard, nor his brother Bobby, it was a Republican President, Dwight D. Eisenhower.

As one of my black friends, Eddie Huff, has said, "We need to ask some very serious questions of the senator from Illinois. It's not enough to be black, it's not enough to be articulate, and it's not enough to be eloquent and a media darling. The only question will be how deaf an ear, or how blind an eye, will people turn in order to turn a frog into a prince."

Barack Oprah   March 3rd, 2008 10:33 am ET

It's time to Democrats to unite?
To lose? Obama can't beat McCain. nly the reason why Obama has done well is GOP. They votes for Obama to win general election. Even GOP knowsw Hillary Clinton is the best. GOP is smarter than half of Democrats.
MacCain vs Obama? No contest.
Politics is White Men's world.

Malcolm Jhala (Zambia, AFRICA)   March 3rd, 2008 10:26 am ET

I've been following the election 08 with keen interest. My advise to the Democrates in Ohio and Texas is if you love your party and dont want division, please end the circus by voting for Obama. If this contenst goes up to the convention, no matter who emerges as the canditate then, will be so badly bruised, leaving McCain with and easy victory, similar to the Medvedev victory in Russia. VOTE WISELY....

Joan   March 3rd, 2008 9:45 am ET

It's time for the Democrats to stand united because a house divided cannot stand. All the negativity needs to stop. Mr. Obama will be the next President. I believe he is the right candidate at this time in our history. The Clintons had their turn and George Bush had his. Where is our country now. The economy, the war, no health care, poor schools, no jobs. Wake up folks and stop your nitpicking. What happens in this Country affects all of us and our children. What kind of a future would your chilren have? Stop the nonsense and stop with the hate. Lets have a peaceful finish to this primary. People should base their decision to vote on facts not negative publicity on the air. Choose the candidate that sound like he or she knows what they are talking about. For me that is Mr. Obama.

owl   March 3rd, 2008 9:37 am ET

GO OBAMA

Ron   March 3rd, 2008 9:37 am ET

Much of the Hillary supporters are acting like the Republicans. They attack without facts. They base their attacks on rumors and hate messages. Maybe they should take a look at Hillary the same way they look at Obama. The problem is blind support instead of objective support. All the hate and venom turns everyone else off. I do not see how Hillary can attract independents to her campaign with the way some of supporters are talking. They are doing the same things they accuse everyone else of doing. The complain of BIAS, but they are the definition of bias.

LeftyLadig   March 3rd, 2008 9:32 am ET

Can we stop with the negativity? Both candidates are worthy of the nomination. I am for Obama and believe he will get the nomination. It is my hope that Senator Clinton, if she does not make huge gains on Tuesday, will step down and support Obama and I believe that she will, for the good of the Party and the United States of America.

Kimberly in Texas   March 3rd, 2008 9:29 am ET

Obama haters are a sad and pathetic bunch. Too bad you are so blinded by your own bigotry you can't see that he is an honest and inspiring candidate with much to offer this country as it struggles to recover from the last eight years under the failed Bush administration.

We cannot sit back and let the Republican party take over for another 4 years. Hillary Clinton will ultimately be defeated by the Republican party come November, therefore, we need Barack Obama to keep the Democratic party's dream alive.

yes we can!
Change!

Think Carefuuly Before Voting:

Obama is a proud member of the Chicago's Trinity United Church
of Christ in Chicago.
This church was headed by Reverend Wright Jr.
He is on record as referring to ISRAEL as an "Apartheid State"

Obama stated in Iowa that the Palestines as "The most oppressed
people on this earth"

I believe that Obama asPresident of our country would be a disaster beyond belief.

Hillary ..................................08.............................................................

Ground troops smucks. This man hates the military. Don't be taken in by his lies and no answers, Just talk, talk, talk, that's all he can do. HE IS A CATFISH, 'ALL MOUTH AND NO BODY," He still has not answered what he promised the gangster REZKO for his contributions and the $300,000 the man kept him from having to pay in a real estate deal. He is a dishonest person. PLEASE TEXAS & OHIO do not be fooled by this man. He is dishonest and full of glib lies. HILLARY 08

Hey CNN,

Where's the ticker on Obama's triangulation on NAFTA? It's been briefly mentioned, but no fully developed story. Since he tried to make the issue of NAFTA an attack on Clinton, shouldn't this be all over the airwaves? What about the Rezko trial? He's made his campaign about being holier-than-thou, this stuff should get right to the heart of who he is. After all, he was editor of Harvard Law Review, I don't think we can say he just didn't know what he was doing. If this was on the Clintons, it would be 24/7.

To Bad he got the union ticked on him and nobody in the msm is talking about you have been so bias and if Hillary Clinton wins it will really be something she has beentreated very ugly by Obama supporters and the media . Go Hillary
