Rhode Island primary - can anyone help me/us out?
Myself and Bi-Baby are going to travel 30 minutes south to at least hold Obama signs in RI. My sister and kinda famous brother in law - especially in RI and much of N.E. - live in RI and I'm planning on finally calling her to find out who she may be supporting (hopefully Obama, but if not, I hope to sway her) and maybe her family can get involved.

Anyhow, are there some polls and demographics for RI out now (recent hopefully) which show what will be good target areas for Obama? We don't have much free time to go down there, so I'd like to focus on needed areas.

2. I haven't seen any polling
But... Obama has an office in Providence.

Also, you can sign up for or create an event and join in on that.

I read about a Clinton conference call regarding the 3/4 states. I think they have given up on Vermont but they said they thought they would win Ohio, Texas and RI. It is coming from their campaign so take it with a bucket of salt but they did leave out Vermont (I'm sure they don't count).

6. I don't think she has RI wrapped up by a long shot
I think she has a slim chance at winning RI, so I'd like to go campaign in areas of RI where Obama can gain some votes.

Does anyone know how Cumberland tends to vote?
