Ohio: Obama Lands His A-Team

[Hepburn]

With Ohio's March 4th primary looming as the possible make-it-or-break it battleground for the Democratic nomination, Senator Barack Obama has landed his campaign A-Team three weeks ahead of the Buckeye State's D-Day.

Rival candidate Senator Hillary Clinton is also deploying her most battle-ready field marshals to Ohio. While both campaigns have had skeleton teams in Ohio since January, now the big guns have unpacked their bags and set up their state headquarters in Columbus. They've also brought their entourage of top managers, field directors, GOTV staffers and consultants with media buys planned, along with scheduled campaign events and candidate appearances.

Behind the scenes of the Obama-Clinton race to capture Ohio's 161 delegates, the biggest jackpot of states still in contention, it will be a killer match between each campaign's point man: Paul Tewes and Robby Mook.

Among campaign professionals,Tewes is widely regarded among the very most talented of political organizers in the nation - he's largely responsible for Obama's surprise win in Iowa, which proved that the "inevitable" nomination of Hillary Clinton wasn't so inevitable and that white voters, independents, and women could be lured to Obama.

This should be a very interesting state to watch. If Obama pulls it out here...IMO, it is over for Hillary.

9. He forgot Donna Brazile. a Clinton hater from ‘way back’.

She was Al Gore’s Campaign Manager in 2000 and is the architect of the strategy that left the Big Dog out of Gore’s campaign.It figures - that's why CNN has her speak for the Hillary camp, which she then trashes and lists her demands to stay in the Democratic Party. Gosh, it just wouldn't be the same without her...leave!
