He had 9000 in Dayton . . . And only 300 showed up to early vote.
And right on schedule, Adrian Gray’s numbers show a .01 GOP lead with a quarter million early votes cast. Forgetting indies for a moment, and any D-/R crossovers, this comes out to about a 1.6% margin. This ( if my math is right) leaves Rs just 45,000 short going into Election Day after accounting for absentee deficit. Again, even without Indies, this should be covered by Warren and Hamilton alone. Indies will make a difference between a very narrow win and a 4-5% victory.
Everyone is noticing. Brian Williams and his NBC news organization have forfeited their reputation. I hope its worth it. They’ll be in the ashcan along with GM in short order.
Wasn’t Harding FROM Ohio?
Fascinating history! Thanks for the education! :)
Sure thing. Any other questions you have on the subject, I’ll try to answer them. (Now, if only I could get paid for this... aherm...).
One of the best accounts of Harding’s tenure I’ve seen is a brief description in Paul Johnson’s epic history “Modern Times”. Johnson does a good job debunking the pop culture notion that Harding was an incompetent boob.
Nice analysis. Hopefully history will continue to repeat itself in 2012.

Whoops, I meant to say the subject of political history, not specifically Harding. Yes, I think Harding has gotten a raw deal. I think he was a very underrated President and he got us out of a recession from the end of Wilson’s 2nd term (or rather the Edith Wilson Administration, since Woody was a turnip after 1919) very swiftly. He also presided over fairly good times in this country.
The problem was he trusted some folks who obviously shouldn’t have been (which has happened before, and after). I think had he served out two full terms, he might’ve been better regarded (although because he was a Republican and Conservative, we all know the fair shake they get). It’s too bad Hoover didn’t follow the Harding/Coolidge economic model, but that’s what happens when you get a “Progressive” ex-Democrat serving as a Republican (my enormous worry with Willard), they screw up all the good of Conservative policies and pave the way for horrid open Democrat leftists.
Imagine if we had avoided the horror of FDR’s Socialism/welfare state (that Hoover paved the way for) with sound economic policy and keeping the notion of personal responsibility. We’d be a vastly different nation today, much further evolved on every level (culturally, economically, socially), and virtually every group would be benefitting.
To think of the damage that leftism has caused over more than a century is staggering, the retardation of growth, of society and its values. How long will it take to undo the damage that keeps getting worse by the day ? Just makes you sick... :-(

Excellent news. I wonder if maybe, just maybe, the Benghazi story is sneaking past the MSM spike and reaching the people.
In any case, the trend is very friendly today.

Last night, Barone was calling BS on the Ohio polls and predicted a Romney win. Of course he was subtle on why he thought all of the Ohio polls were wrong.
Barone is a smart and non-biased guy.
I think all this media hype about am electoral/popular vote split is mainstream wishful thinking.
What gives me confidence more than anything is when you go to leftist sites there is so much chatter about the “mythical Mittmentum.” They think it’s all media hype, that the media wants to give Mitt a boost. Ha!
I like Barone’s analysis, but look at him with a bit of a jaundiced eye since he announced he endorses sodomites being allowed to change the definition of marriage.
This we're tied business has more to do with keeping the electorate tuning in to news stations. In other words, it's about money.
At least that's my opinion.
2.7 = 3 with in the limits of precision
That is, they are pretty much like the rest
Is this your official prediction?
I agree...... you are correct in you’re assessment.
