Hillary Clinton Will Win Ohio According to Oddsmakers

If the oddsmakers are correct, Democratic US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is likely to win next week's Ohio Primary, though oddsmakers also have Barack Obama winning Texas.

Bookmaker.com has made Hillary the -135 favorite to win Ohio.  Barack Obama was a much bigger favorite to win Texas, however, at -260. 

Hillary Rodham Clinton got her last, best chance Tuesday night to slow Barack Obama before the March 4 primaries in the latest debate of an increasingly contentious Democratic presidential race.

Obama has won 11 straight primaries and caucuses, and even some of Clinton's supporters concede she must win in both Ohio and Texas next week to keep her candidacy alive.

"I think things have gotten a little hotter in the last couple of days," Obama said at a news conference where he collected an endorsement from a former campaign rival, Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut.

There were fresh signs of Clinton's campaign woes, including an AP-Ipsos poll that charted significant gains for Obama among male voters and others two months into the primary season.

In mid-January, Clinton held a seven-point lead among all men, a group she now loses by 25 points. The two were about even among college graduates six weeks ago, and Obama now holds a 20-point margin.
