One day before Texans and Ohioans cast their votes, a number of polls show both contests looking too close to call. The blogger/reporter/pundit classes are putting the smart money on Obama winning Texas and Clinton winning Ohio. The only major poll showing Obama with a lead in Ohio is Zogby, who has had a mixed record this cycle.

The Moderate Voice says liberal activist group ACORN is paying people in Ohio to vote canvas for Obama. I suppose that's one way to boost the state's economy.

Meanwhile, while some local blogs are questioning a Columbus-Dispatch poll showing Clinton with a supposed 16 point edge.

CQ Politics' own Greg Giroux provides a helpful primer on why tomorrow's Texas results may be murky.

UPDATE:  ACORN is paying individuals to canvas for Obama, not literally paying them to vote for him.
A Wiki history of ACORN's previous conviction for, and other allegations of, violating election law can be found here.

A primary/caucus mix and focusing on the more liberal districts. Local and influential blog Burnt Orange Report endorses Obama and explains the two-step delegate system in detail:

Key Point: Senator Obama can win Texas if he can hold his own on March 4 with the 126 Delegates that will be allocated based on the votes in Texas' 31 Senate Districts, and then do well (as he has in the past) with the 67 delegates in the caucus-system that will fully be realized at the Texas Democratic Party Convention in June.

Will the Texas and Ohio primaries create another pollster showdown in the blogosphere? Zogby appeared to miss the mark on Super Tuesday, when compared to SurveyUSA. Now, a new Rasmussen poll showing Hillary Clinton leading Barack Obama by double-digits in Texas is generating a lot of blog traffic from the left and the right.

Hot Air asks:

Serious question. If the party elite gets to pick the nominee, what’s the case for them picking her over Obama?

However, there are some questions worth asking about the survey, primarily, "How many undecided or 'Hillary-lite' voters have had adequate time to consider voting for Obama?" The survey's summary notes:

However, just 68% of Likely Democratic Primary Voters in Texas say they have made up their mind and are certain about their vote. Ten percent (10%) remain undecided, 5% say there’s a good chance they could change their mind, and 16% say they might change their mind.

And now Drudge is topping with this new American Research Group poll - showing Obama leading Clinton 48 percent to 42 percent, with 7 percent undecided.
