>> These girls are looking at the “big screen” to see hemselves.

United Narcissists of America endorsed Barack obama! No surprise there.

>> I have two facebook daughters.

“Facebook daughters”... if that’s one of those weird surrogate parent deals or some kind of “hook-up” thing, I don’t want to know the details. :-)

This comment is not by any means a put down or THE State of Ohio (or of THE Ohio State University for that matter).

I am sick of hearing that one must carry Ohio to be elected President... Well I've heard no mention of the fact that Ohio has lost 10% of its electoral votes for 2012... and they did not go to California or New York (deep blue).

While it may be a historical fact that Ohio had to be won when it represented 7.4% of the electoral votes necessary for election... it now represents 6.66% of the necessary electoral votes, it is therefore, mathematically less pivotal.

Newt Gingrich should have been the Republican candidate. He’s the person I supported but couldn’t vote for here in Washington State.

Newt had a message, an agenda and the experience to get it done. With Romney, we are now faced with trying to make silk out of a sow’s ear.

His Boston Team is insular and seems more interested in protecting Mitt’s reputation as Governor than winning against Obama.

Romney needs to shake up the team, get some pros who have a killer instinct and win. The duds at the top currently don’t know what page they’re on.

Mathematically, I agree with you.

Ohio for Romney, though, is a battle of prevention. With Obama alread at 221, he needs only 49 EV’s to win. Ohio’s 18 going to Obama makes that only 31 more EV’s that he needs to win, and if Ohio falls, then Romney must win 75% of the remaining EV’s, with Florida a must win among them.

Ohio is also odd because it seems always to be right on the line, due to its big mixes of urban, surburban, exurb, town, and agricultural, so it’s a good indicator of how close calls will be breaking.

Apparently you have far more faith in the American electorate than I do. Occasionally it makes the right choice but not often.

I can easily believe the Disaster will win. If you listen to the Super Right around here he SHOULD win for the good of the nation.

Of course if Barry wins Ohio it's bad news.

Of course Ohio's 18 electoral votes are important.

Of course there are always obstacles to a Republican victory.

Yet, never has America been as close to a fiscal cliff.

Never before has America had a president who seems to be unconcerned about her survival.

As election day nears.
As congress remains inert as election day nears.
As the worldwide economy staggers.
As Barry's estrangement from the welfare of the USA persists.

Even the sheeple will understand that indeed a change is necessary if there is to be hope.

There will be a tsunami away from island 0bama. Even though we know "no man is an island", barry seems intent upon making himself into one.
