Hillary Clinton Wins Ohio
Sen. Hillary Clinton is the Projected winner of the Ohio Primary, and this is a big win for her. If she wins Texas, it will look, at least for now, that momentum has changed in her favor. This will make the media mad. Clinton, if she gets Texas, will make her case for the Democratic nomination.

Sphere: Related ContentBill Clinton Weighs In On Hillary
Beaumont, Texas- Campaigning for his wife, Bill Clinton stated if she wins The Texas and Ohio Primaries, Hillary will be the Democratic Presidential Nominee. He also said that if she couldn’t win Texas and Ohio, that he didn’t believe that she could be the nominee. He went on to say that she at a terrible financial disadvantage compared to her rival, and that it is now in the hands of the people to make the decision to put her in the nominee spot. Now, the Clintons will inevitably play the “poor Hillary” card. That being said, the press has made it where Hillary has to walk a fine line, because there is a double standard for her (is it because she is a woman or because she is a Clinton or both) if she shows emotion she is being erratic and whiny, and if she doesn’t she is an ice queen with no emotions and no compassion.

During a speech today in Canton,Ohio, Bill Clinton was heckled by Robert Holeman. Holeman who attended the Hillary Clinton rally to state his dislike for the way Bill Clinton and His Wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton are handling her campaign for presidency. Holeman states that he wants the Clinton Campaign to stop it’s negativity towards Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama. Holeman is saying that Clinton lightly slapped him in the face. Though according to reports it is unclear whether he did or not. Holeman makes some pretty outrageous claims. Holeman stated that Clinton said that Sen. Obama went after him first. Obama’s camp is stating that they have nothing to do with Robert Holeman and did not plant him in the audience.
It is unlikely that Clinton actually did make physical contact with this man. If he did it would be on every news broadcast in the country. Also, surely Obama and his staff wouldn’t be stupid enough to send this moron to defend them at a Clinton Rally. Maybe Clinton should have punched him.
Robert Holeman came to Timken High School here today with a message to deliver to Bill Clinton. He did — and he said the former president wasn’t happy about it.
Clinton spoke to a capacity crowd in this Northeast Ohio town, the third of five events today in the Buckeye State. He told voters that the contest was “the power of speeches against the promise of solutions by a world-class change maker.”
Throughout the event, as Clinton made his case for his wife, Holeman’s dissenting voice could be heard. At times he simply shouted Obama’s name. When Clinton would set up a sure applause line, Holeman could be heard heckling. As soon as Clinton finished speaking, the Canton native made a beeline to the ropeline to give Clinton a piece of his mind.
“I asked the president to please stop the bickering between the campaigns,” Holeman said in an interview afterwards. “All this name calling is like the bully in the yard. He can’t get his way, he can’t get nothing done.” Holeman said he thought Clinton was “gasping for air.”
“This is the last hurrah. After March 4, Hillary Clinton will be out of the race for good, and Obama will take the commanding lead,” he said. “She should back him with her delegates immediately. That’s what I’m asking them to do.”
Holeman said that Clinton responded by saying Obama came after him first. Holeman also described Clinton’s reaction to him as “irate.”
“I think he even hit me in the face with his hand,” he said. “He did give me a little pop. It was okay, because I understand his tenacity for his wife.” Clinton did engage Holeman for a few minutes, at times pointing directly at him. It was unclear whether he did make physical contact, however.
Holeman said he did support Bill Clinton during his campaigns, but that now the country wants a “new perspective.” “I think the president’s trying hoodwink us, bamboozle us, put us back in the okie doke,” he said. “He had eight years to do what he was supposed to do. All the things he said that she’s gonna do, he had the same authority that he wants her to have. Now if one Clinton, the male Clinton can’t get it done, how is Ms. Clinton [going to].”
Several Clinton supporters who saw the exchange came up to Holeman after to — shall we say delicately — express their disapproval for his actions. More negativity, Holeman said. “Hillary Clinton has started the most negative campaign I have ever seen, other than what the Republicans can launch,” he said. “I think we need to come together on those issues.”
*** UPDATE *** Obama spokesperson Ben LaBolt said Holeman was “absolutely not” a plant by the campaign. And a spokesperson for President Clinton who was near the president said there was no physical contact.

Sen. Hillary Clinton refusing to give up takes up aim on the Democratic Texas And Ohio Primaries. She has had some pretty devastating loses since Super Tuesday. The Superdelegates are going to decide this Democratic race and Hillary Clinton is counting on them, and if she can win Texas and Ohio, this will bolster her cause, though the idea of Superdelegates are disturbing. This is going to be a hard fought battle for Clinton and Obama.
Clinton was scheduled to campaign in Texas, which she hopes will serve as a bulwark against Obama’s growing wave of political support.
Texas holds its primaries on March 4, along with Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island. The New York Democrat has events scheduled in McAllen, Robstown and San Antonio, Texas.
In addition to Texas with its large Latino population — a group she has done well with this primary season — Clinton is also banking on winning Ohio and its blue-collars voters, another group that has backed her in previous primaries and caucuses. Clinton was scheduled to campaign in Ohio on Thursday.
