We're on the verge of another primary day - OH, TX, VT and RI. It looks like it'll be a wash - OH/RI for Clinton and VT for Obama with TX looking pretty close for both sides (plus it's primary/caucus system).

So here we are - 2 months after Iowa with the nomination in the air with Obama leading by about 150 delegates and only 10 or so states left to vote.

I'm starting my phonebanking party to be joined by a few of my colleagues and classmates (with pizza and soda to spare!). I'll start with Ohio and the twenty numbers called - but this is where I need your help.

It's 1:40am CST and Barack Obama is 1639 individual donors away from 1,000,000.

Last night, Hillary said the American people are bankrolling her campaign. Looks like they've hedged their bet because One Million of them will have donated to him.

I've emailed everyone in my contacts list (which I hadn't done before). I've called folks. I've made it clear. We need less than 90,000 donors to get to ...

I'm a sports nut. Nut. I love college sports mostly but I'll deal with pro baseball. College basketball is great, but I want to focus primarily on baseball at the moment.

Picture this: It's the top of the 7th inning and while it's been a tight game the whole time, the visiting team just went up scored 8 straight runs. You kept the same pitcher but switched catchers. I don't think that will work, but ok. There are two runners on and the batter can either score 1, 2 or possibly none.

So the options are giving up 10 straight runs, 9 straight runs, or 8. Either way, how does stopping one or two runs give you momentum?

I'm growing more and more frustrated by the Clinton campaign. Say what you want about Obama, but the following lines are never used in relation to his campaign:

From the UK Times Online (Source):

"Oh it’s always the ad, never the message," Grunwald shot back. Insiders say the atmosphere is dark, even though the fight is not over yet. Loyalty to Clinton remains strong, but there have been too many chiefs and not enough Indians, they complain.

The friends of Bill or "white boys", as Penn and Terry McAu-liffe, the campaign chairman, are known, have long viewed "Hillaryland" – the closed circle of female friends – with suspicion.

A while back, I said it would be McCain/Huckabee. People I work with still disagree, as we talk about politics, and that's fine. But I think Huckabee won the VP slot with his performance Tuesday.

On the other side, we have a Democratic nomination heading to the floor.

And all I can think about is the sixth season of The West Wing.

Last week, on The OC: Election edition...

We were waiting on votes between Hillary and Obama. And when they came in, the conservative area went for...

Hillary! Yay! The area known as an affluent and conservative stronghold voted for Hillary by a margin of 56-38 (Scroll down for Orange County).

2004, he blew the DNC away on a speech that wasn't televised (how is the keynote speaker NOT televised) on major channels.

His speech against the Iraq war was huge, his Iowa victory speech and all of the others. Some inspire less than others...and yet.

Many of us here were the first ones in line to disapprove of President Bush's policies and way of governing the country. We were the original 24%ers - 24% disapprove. At the end of his two terms (two!?), one of the worst things he's done, if we can qualify it, is lead us into a stupid war with no plan or reasoning.

Walter Scheib is ready to lead from day one. He had been part of the White House for 11 years before being kicked out by the Bush Administration. As such - he has plenty of experience both IN the White House and having to deal with attacks from Republicans.

He had the support of Hillary Clinton way before anyone heard of Barack Obama and while he hasn't come out against the war, he hasn't voted for it either.

At this point, for February 5 (and maybe more), polls mean absolutely nothing.

You'll see polls fluctuate, outliers, ups and downs. They'll be good for Clinton, good for Obama and assuredly never good for Gravel. But they'll be there. While polls fluctuated (some) for NH and SC, be sure that you ain't seen nothing yet.

In many of the 22 states voting this Tuesday, caucuses make polling difficult. Throw those out...
