The problem is that it may or may not be reflective of the ELECTORAL college vote. If Obama is poised to win WI, OH and VI, the popular vote becomes irrelevant.
That is why I wanna know if Mitt is still campaigning in OH - by God he better not still be trying to gain public support on a humanitarian appeal. This is the absolute worst possible time for him to be wasting time looking for donations when he’s in OH. He needs to destroy Obama in OH, not just pull out a win.
Romney is definitely compaiging in Ohio. Huge Rally Friday night resembling a mini convention. I’ve heard up to 20,000 people. McCain/Palin got 10,000 people at this location four years ago. Much more enthusiam now! The rally will be held at 7:30 p.m. at The Square at Union Centre, a large outdoor gathering space in downtown West Chester, which is the hometown of House Speaker John A. Boehner (R). The same venue hosted then-vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin in October 2008, where she took the stage to “Eye of the Tiger” and rallied a crowd of about 10,000.
In addition to Mitt and Ann Romney and Paul and Janna Ryan, the Romney campaign has announced that the following surrogates will attend: McCain and his wife, Cindy; former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal; Texas Gov. Rick Perry; Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback; Sens. Rob Portman (Ohio), Marco Rubio (Fla.), John Thune (S.D.), Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and Kelly Ayotte (N.H.); former senator Norm Coleman (Minn.); former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani; former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge; Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus; Rep. Jason Chaffetz (Utah); former congressman Artur Davis (Ala.); Olympic champion speed skater Derek Parra; Olympic champion figure skater Scott Hamilton; champion golfer Jack Nicklaus; as well as Tagg and Jen Romney, Matt and Laurie Romney, Josh Romney, Ben Romney and Craig and Mary Romney.
Romney’s posted schedule indicates he will be in Ohio more than any other state between now and election day.
He knows how crucial it is and how close it is. His campaign strategy suggests (and I agree) that he believes the notion that the candidate who captures Ohio almost definitely wins the election.
