Few Republicans vote in the presidential primaries here in Ohio. By the time it rolls around here, the decision has already been made. Voting is a mere formality.

Bingo.

I'll also say I suspect the Senate Bill 5 fiasco turned off plenty of NE Ohio, union member, Reagan Democrats who may have otherwise voted for Romney.

Let me tell you. In my area, the DNC played the hell out of the ad of the workers building a stage to hear about the Romney/Bain Capital closing a plant and moving those jobs to China.
(Which was funny -ha ha, because Carl Icahn just bought up troubled Navistar stocks. The company was contemplating layoffs. Those union workers had Obama signs in their yards.)
