Fear that Obama will win Ohio and therefore the election

Looks like Obama is winning by a percentage above 2 percent even without the aid of busing in Somalis or masses of people from urban areas for repeat votes or anything else the Obama campaigng was planning on doing. If Obama is winning Ohio by this much legitimately, how is Romney gonna be able to pull off a strong enough lead so that underhanded tactics can't be used to make him lose ? I thought Republicans were pulling off a strong enough lead and that the were voting more energetically than Democrats, way more this time. What exactly is going on here ? Could Republicans at least gain enough votes and get enough of their supporters energetic enough to win some more critical Senate and House seats, so that they can provide some sort of protection for our Constitution even if/when Romney loses

If it’s close they will cheat.

Maybe Ohioans like handouts more than jobs?

There was an article about accuracy of pollsters and Rasmussen was at the top. So look at that...Romney +2 :)

Got to hear Rove speak in Denver the other night. He sounded confident that Romney is going to get Ohio.

Romney wouldn’t be going to PA if he thought he was down in OH troll

[I see my hands]

You're right. It's a troll.

A lot of whistling past the graveyard here at FR, similar to 2008, unfortunately.

All indications are that 0 is up in Ohio and is likely to take Ohio come election day. There are a lot of tortured scenarios that people here are putting up, but the polls tell a very different story. When you average the polls, 0 is up by a comfortable lead in Ohio.

Ohio almost follows the national trend, in this case it is Republican.

We have people from here working on the campaign in Ohio. The only question is whether Gov. Romney will win by only 5% or more like 10%.

What about Orange??

[Republican1795.]

Those Romney votes that were flipped for Obama earlier sure do not inspire much confidence either. Paper ballots are not perfect but better in retrospect.

[Arthurio]

When you average the polls, Obama’s lead is 2 points. Comfortable lead? Think not.

I heard Newt tonight on Greta. He says 54/46 Romney with 300+EV.

[emax]

If that is true, then it means Obama has already won the election. Since Romney has zero chance of winning this election if he does not win Ohio, considering just how much of a long shot it would be to win Wisconsin, Pennsylvania or Michigan. I think winning even 2 out of those 3 is impossible for Romney.

[emax]

It is if you consider that Obama has, according to certain polls, this lead without using fraudulent voting tactics such as busing in “undocumented” voters and people from urban areas to vote multiple times and rig electronic voting machines and what not. Obama could have a 5 % lead or more once those factors are accounted for.

Spare me your Chicken Little-concern routine.

Kindly breakdown “all indications” if you would.

How are you able to determine this ? I mean, even if the Romney campaign is much more intense where you are, how can you be sure the same is true for Cleveland, Columbus, Cinncinati, etc ? How can you tell whether or not the Romney campaign is more successful in all these regions ?
