I have heard Rove and others say that as well.
If correct, Romney should win Ohio convincingly.
I don’t understand why there is such a large discrepancy with what the pollsters are reporting though. Not all of them are being deliberately biased, especially not Rasmussen, yet most of them are reporting very similar results.
It’s a mix of things.
close race = money
lazy = just use the 2008 numbers
bias = the MSM really does prefer Obama
Because Rasmussen is still using a +2 Dem model, although the electorate is expected to be +2 Rep or more. Throw in the fact Republicans have a 350,000 advantage in Ohio, Obama is losing Indy’s, and many like Rove are rationale to believe Romney will carry Ohio.
