He said he thinks but I hope so.
Butler, reddest of the red, is at . . . 121% of 08 with THREE HOURS LEFT!
I think that's the old final nail.
Heard Bill Cunningham (WLW, Cincinnati) on Sean Hannity’s program a few minutes ago. Cunningham spoke with election officials in Hamilton County (which includes the heavily Republican suburbs of Cincy), along with officials in three of the most heavily GOP counties in SW Ohio. Turnout is described as “massive;” the three Republican counties north of Cincinnati are poised to deliver more votes than George W. Bush received in 2004. and turnout in Hamilton will reportedly top 75%.
For what it’s worth...yeah, Willie’s not exactly a neutral observer, but he knows Ohio and is well-connected with the GOP establishment.
I remember a story here in FR in 2004 about the Bush number crunchers who had identified a couple of key counties in Ohio. When the numbers started coming in positive in those areas they actually packed up and went home early. Unfortunately, I can’t find the article now to see which counties they were.
Anyone remember that?
At the end of the article a woman was asked about what John Kasich was saying about Romney taking Ohio and she said something like “I don’t believe anything John Kasich says, I believe Nate Silver.”
President Romney’s job may be to make sure everyone in America that wants a job has one but he is going to have a hard time finding a job for Nate Silver when this is over!
