Hillary Clinton made two stops in my home state of Ohio Monday, visiting usual Democrat strongholds Akron and Toledo:
However, this is her first stop in the Buckeye State since before Labor Day, and media coverage over the past few days has hinted that Clinton may be writing off the long-time political bellweather state.
Notably, left-leaning media appears to be treating the development as sour grapes.
On Monday, one article appeared in TIME magazine and one was published by the AP, both dismissing Hillary's need for Ohio in her campaign's electoral college calculus. Things have "changed," apparently: (snip)
Over the weekend, the New York Times declared that Ohio is now -- of course -- too white and uneducated to be considered a bellwether state anymore:

As opposed to black and overeducated?
Or is it, Black States Matter?
I saw this story the other day and it really brightened my day. Hearing the media say this tells me the Trump Train is still rolling strong. I’m hoping to hear similar things from the media soon about Colorado, North Carolina and Florida.
To me, THIS is truly historic and telling. Ohio has been at the ramparts of battleground state manipulation, cheating and all manner of collusion and cheating in the past where it ended up a deciding factor in more than one election.
Her giving up on that state portends a much, much worse outcome for her than MSM can (will be able to) keep quiet.
They are done in my estimation. Stick a fork in them.
Attention Ohio - you are just a bunch of deplorable basement-dwellers.
- Sincerely, the Clinton / Kaine Campaign
I always heard Ohio is used to represent the USA in marketing tests. If that is true, she is in danger
Hilarious headline. Ohio used the be the be all to end all state but it just got thrown under the bus by the whiny msm.
are we sure this is not a ruse?
Can anybody in OH confirm that they are stopping the commercials?
Ohio is a bellwether state that really reflects on the likely outcome of the national election.
That is, if the Democrat looks likely to win Ohio.
If Trump is winning in Ohio, then Ohio is just insignificant and no one cares one way or the other.
Gotta love the spin.
Yep, we all jus’ a bunch a hicks up her’ in Ohio.
Don’t kid yourself. They haven’t “abandoned” anything.
Especially the inner cities, where they’ll be voting at 100-125% of registered voters.
Ohioans are a basket of deplorable basement dwellers.
Well, maybe the Browns.
Speaking of Ohio, Hillary apparently had another medical episode yesterday. Gurney and EMT’s were brought in.
deplorable bitter clingers...
Did I leave anything out?
Mitt lost Ohio 51 - 48. Let’s say Trump wins Ohio 52-47. That is a +6 shift in Ohio. If one applies a +8 shift to other states this is what happens.
NH T 50 - 48
PA T 51 - 48
VA T 52 - 47
FL T 53 - 46
MI H 49 - 50
WI T 50 - 49
MN tie 49-49
IA T 50 - 48
CO T 52 - 47
NM H 47 - 49
NV T 50 - 48
and Trump wins easy.
Didn’t Ohio used to be a must win state?
