I was born and raised in northeastern Ohio and I beg of my former state that they do not subject America to 4 more years of socialism, fascism, pro-islamic, anti-energy, pro perversion leadership. I know your economy is doing fair, but so many of the other states are not. Yes our tax money bailed GM out to the tune of tens of billions of dollars and created jobs for you at the expense of others. Please put the country first and rid us of this manchurian interloper. Romney is a moderate centrist. He is not what many of us conservatives wanted. But he is our only hope to stop this moral and financial slide for the rest of the country. Please Buckeyes help us out. I have always rooted for Ohio State and the Browns. I think Modell shafted you as well as Elway and Jordon. Lebron is a bum!
Not to diss Ohio, but Romney is surging in many states. Ohio is no longer the lynchpin to victory.
I see a scenario where Obama tries to win Ohio soooo bad, that he overlooks some other states that become vulnerable.
Thanks for he blind flash of the obvious there, Doug. Romney has to win OH or PA, or pretty much sweep all other toss-ups, and OH is seen as more likely.
Of course, everyone knew this months ago, but hey, some folks are late to the party...
It’s OIHO
In order for Obama to win the must-win state of Ohio, Obama must do extremely well in particular areas of the state, without which he can’t be the victor there.
Two of the areas Obama must do particularly well in are Ohio State University and the City of Cleveland.
On the day Obama officially opened his campaign, he did suprisingly poorly at Ohio State by leaving many empty seats in the average-size auditorium he was speaking in. It was a flop.
And in downtown Cleveland, when he tried to generate a rally recently, all he could come up with were 9,000 bodies, probably half of whom were sent by the union rent-a-mob company the DNC uses.
If Obama can’t do well in the Democratic strongholds of Ohio’s largest university and one of its largest, most Democratically-dominated cities, it’s over for him, since most of the other areas of Ohio are going strongly for Romney. While Obama was boring 9,000 Clevelanders, Mitt Romney was energizing 12,000 cheering supporters in small towns downstate.
If Obama wins Ohio while even less Republican states are going en masse for Romney, it will be very strange.
And opposing exporting jobs is the key to winning Ohio.
