has extended voting due to flooding, according to CNN.

From the Huffington Post, here is a statement from the Clinton camp:

Hillary Clinton's State Director has released the following statement about Ohio voting:

As Ohioans head to the polls today, we're seeing high turnout across the state despite bad weather.

It is inspiring to see so many Democrats turning out to vote today, and we encourage everyone to make their voice heard in this election.

While we expect voting to run smoothly, we have heard troubling reports of irregularities and inappropriate behavior by Sen. Obama's campaign across the state. We continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure that all voters' rights are preserved....

...We encourage all of our supporters to head to the polls today, as we continue to work with local election officials and the Ohio Democratic Party to ensure that no voter is disenfranchised. There is too much at stake in this election for Democrats to stay home.

accuse your opponent of what you yourself are doing

I wonder why they are resorting to this . . .  one would have thought they were comfortable enough with their lead because she went to TX last night

Ken, is there some source material for the contention that Clinton's campaign is engaging in irregularities in Ohio?

Of course, if it were, accusing Obama of doing so would be a likely strategy.

But the might also be making the accusation because the Obama campaign is acting inappropriately -- true?

I have no idea what is happening there, and I'm certainly not taking the word of one camp as definitive evidence of anything. But do you have some knowledge of specific Clinton activities in Ohio?

about Obama?    Remember, their entire strategy is to paint Obama as no different than any other politician, so they can then fight the argument on the basis of her supposed experience

and also remember - in a conference call her top campaign aides promised to throw the kitchen sink at Obama

so I take them at their word

I thought I said that.

I'm asking if there is any specific evidence for your assertion? I understood you to be saying that the Clinton campaign made this statement because they, themselves, had acted inappropriately.

I'm sincerely not trying to be difficult -- just want to understand the basis for your assertion.

they feel like Ohio is slipping away from them along with Texas...

HRC today "urged voters to settle in for a nomination fight that could roll on for months to come".  Here's hoping this is nothing but psyche talk on her part.    

from the AP:

*"In the Democratic primaries, independents were about one in five voters in Ohio, one in four in Texas, a third in Rhode Island and four in 10 in Vermont."

*"The economy was big in Ohio Democratic voters' minds - six in 10 said it's the most important issue facing the country."

*"More than half of Rhode Island Democrats and nearly as many in Texas picked the economy as the top issue out of three choices."

in each of those states?

if it is a third in RI, and they are breaking better than 60-40 for Obama, that might be enough for him to steal the state

I hope Obama wins Texas and with a good margin.  I'm unsure though.  As a small example, my family is divided evenly between the two (the ones who aren't voting in Republican Primary that is).  

According to ABC News:

*"The ability to "bring needed change" beats "experience" as the most important quality in a candidate by about a 20-point margin in Ohio and by about 15 points in Texas, according to preliminary exit poll results."

*"Preliminary exit poll results also suggest a healthy turnout by Latinos in the Texas Democratic primary, where early results indicate they're accounting for just over three in 10 voters. If that holds, it'll be a record."

*"Blacks account for about two in 10 Texas Democratic voters, closer to their customary share of the electorate. In this early data blacks also account for two in 10 in Ohio, which if it holds would be up from 2004."

*"Turnout among women looks to be up in both states in these preliminary results -- they account for about six in 10 voters in Ohio, and not quite as many in Texas..."

*"The early exit poll data suggest a smaller-than-previous turnout by union voters in Ohio. At the same time it also finds broad anti-trade sentiment."

Also, according to George Stephanopolous on ABC Nightly News a few minutes ago, 49% of TX voters made up their minds before Super Tuesday and they're breaking about evenly Clinton-Obama.  Another 30% decided in the last month but earlier than just a few days ago, and they're breaking heavily for Obama.  The remaining 20% or so who decided in the last few days are breaking for Clinton.  Who the heck knows, pretty much.
