As a volunteer on the ground in Ohio I find some of the spinning coming from the Obama camp rather humorous. I have heard them say that Hillary won because Ohioans are racists. I have heard that none of it matters because Obama is ahead in the delegates. And I have heard that the reason Hillary won is because she attacked Obama. But as someone that is on the ground here that did go door to door talking with voters and someone that spent hours on the phone talking with voters I can tell all of them that they are wrong.

Hillary won here because people like me worked our butts of to actually talk to Ohio voters. No one I know of said anything at all detrimental about Senator Obama. If we had, we would have been thrown off the campaign. We were instructed to be positive and to stress Hillary's experience and accomplishments. We LISTENED to Ohio voters and we communicated their needs to the campaign.

Standing out in blizzards and freezing rain holding signs and waving for Hillary is how we won Ohio. Going door to door communicating with Ohio voters one house at a time is how we won Ohio. Working hard like most Ohioans work is exactly how we won Ohio. Not giving up because Hillary didn't give up on us is exactly how we won Ohio. And I commend everyone that helped in this wonderful victory.

Senator Obama's union endorsements didn't help him. The biased media didn't help him. His lies and distortions about Hillary's positions on NAFTA and Universal Health Care didn't help him. Indeed all his talk about undefined change didn't help him here either. Because we Ohioans demand competence and substance from our nominee. We have been down that other road and learned the hard way how devastating that can be. We won fair and square. And all the bitching and lying and spinning won't change that. A 5 county victory does not a state make. At least not in Ohio.
