I live in Ohio- Cincy to be exact - in the city - near UC - near Xavier...I can say anecdotely that the enthusiasm isn’t there like 2008; no buzz - AND NO ONE HAS knocked on my door for votes!!! I had 10 people by now in 2008.
No way no how is any poll accurate...we conservatives/libertarians/whatevers simply hang up on pollsters simply don’t answer simply want to be silent majority and put 0bummer out on his keester in a couple weeks...he can live in his miserable life with Mooshell and their weird relationship like Clinton...$$$ ain’t gonna make him happy in Hawaii with his lifetime pension and commie circle of friends...
Point is, Ohio is going to Romney. These folks near me with their signs in their yards ain’t gonna crawl across broken glass like they did in 2008...but I will.

I live in a deep blue state and work around a bunch of liberals and I can say the same thing. The persistent unemployment and sad economic realities of the past four years have taken their toll. The thrill is gone.
obama will admit he’s from Kenya then be elected Sec General of the U.N. And Bill Clinton’s head will finally explode.
I too live in Ohio...in the Akron, Canton, Massillon triangle. For what it is worth, I have had many phone calls backing Republican candidates and Republican issues. I have had no similar Democrat calls until last night announcing a Biden visit to the area this week.
The Obama TV ads here are all regurgated whine from his debate lies. I do not think people are buying that.
I have talked with many people, both Pubbies and Dims, and the consensous seems to be much stronger support for Romney than for Obama.
For what it’s worth, I think Ohio is not going to be in the Obama camp on Nov 6, and I also think that Romney’s margin in other ‘toss-up’ states will make any challenge ala Florida 2000 moot. Nothing short of an EO on Nov 7 declaring martial law and voiding the election could help him...but that would get him canned before Jan 20.
