The New Firewall State
Nebraska.

Clearly, that will be the place to turn around her lagging campaign. Besides, all the demographics are in her direction. There is an excess number of elderly white women in Nebraska, in far greater percentages than other states. Nebraska has two products, corn and football, both of which bode well for her.

To those naysayers who claim that Nebraska is a lot like Iowa, Excuse me! While both states are flat as a pool table, filled with reserved, quiet, mainly boring folks, and even though both have more tractors than cars on the road in season, and both rely exclusively on farming for employment,, the two states are absolutely different. For example, Nebraska starts with "N", while Iowa starts a whole five letters earlier, with a prominent "I".

Besides, Mark Penn has this kick ass, guaranteed approach, using the idea of "Huskers" to disrupt Obama's campaign - a guaranteed lock for the nomination. All he needs with 4 million more in February and March consulting fees. For each month.

3. I'm not trying to say that Nebraska doesn't count...
But Clinton NEEDS Texas and Ohio, in landslides, just to be competitive.

8. Rhode Island HRC currently leads in polls there
Rhode Island,

Officially known as State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations is the state that is most equipped to decide who should be our next president for the following reasons:

-Rhode Island was the first of the thirteen original American colonies to declare independence from British rule

-Rhode Island is one of the most reliably Democratic states during presidential elections, regularly giving the Democratic nominees one of their best showings. In 1980, Rhode Island was one of only 6 states to vote against Ronald Reagan

-In the 1984 Reagan landslide, Rhode Island provided Walter Mondale with his 3rd best performance

- Rhode Island was the Democrats' best state in 1988 and 2000 and 2nd best in 1996 and 2004

-Rhode Island gave John Kerry a greater than 20 percentage point margin of victory (the third highest of any state) with 59.4% of its vote

-All but three of Rhode Island's 39 cities and towns voted for the Democratic candidate

-The Fox show Family Guy takes place in a fictional town in Rhode Island named Quahog

-The nautical nature of Rhode Island's geography pervades its culture. Newport Harbor, in particular, holds many pleasure boats

-A now defunct professional football team, the Providence Steam Roller won the 1928 NFL title

-Fort Adams, on Narragansett Bay, was the setting for the finish of Eco-Challenge 1995.

If Sen. Obama is not able to win in this one of the most Deomocratic States of the Union which is famous for its cultural, athletic, ecological leadership then he should to the party and the country a favor and quit the race
