Now the US Presidential race really gets interesting. Yes, Obama won
more states and Hillary won more delegates, but I am disappointed that
Obama didn’t win a big-ticket state such as New Jersey. The campaign
now moves onto Texas, and Ohio my homestate. IMHO, Obama needs to put
into Ohio even more of what he put into New Jersey. Ohio polls favour
Clinton, and as her Deputy Chief of Staff Kris Balderston told me over
a year ago, she isn’t going to let Ohio slip away as happened to Mssrs
Gore and Kerry.
