Obama won independents in 2008...he will not this year...not even close. He has a horrible economy on his back and Republicans have the enthusiasm gap advantage. People need to relax, nothing more.
I know, you're right. I agree. I'm not saying Obama will win Ohio. All I'm saying is when you compare 2012 to 2008 you must also take into consideration that Obama is the incumbent this time, he spent the last 4 years growing government (votes) and entitlement programs (more votes).
