I wish the Romney-Ryan team was not so far behind in the polls in OHIO, but then I realized that we have the Three C's, Cincinnati, Columbus and Cincinnati with their big inner city liberal,progressive Democrap voting blocs. Add those to the big voting blocs of inner city Toledo,Dayton,Youngstown, and the whole Northern Ohio area, and all the college student Obobo lovers, white guilt people, and you will see that we (Conservatives,Republicans) are outnumbered. I wish it wasn't true, but wishing isn't going to help. Too many people getting the freebies! I'm not giving up, just stating my opinion.

He’s down in polls that are oversampling Democrats

I have scene this post before, several times.

Please, at least change one or two words.

Hmm. Have you bothered to look at the actual absentee data so far? Even in the counties you mention-—which ALL showed big R victories in 2012 except Cuyahoga-—are showing dramatically large advantages for Rs right now and Ds are heavily under performing 08.

I saw someone posting last night who was watching the absentee ballots coming in at a 14% higher rate than 4 years ago and all Republican. If We tie Cuyahoga county and it looks like we will, it’s our state. Keep on trucking!

I’ve been in Ohio a long time. It has always been cities versus suburbs at this point in time, we have the Ohio house , the Ohio Senate, the governor, the Secretary of State , the Treasurer, and the most recent US Senator. all are Republican and somewhat conservative. In the past Ohio has been a 5050 state. It is now also. Nothing has changed. No way it is other than neck and neck. Ohio is always determined by ground game.

I see you like to post in bold, so perhaps my post will grab your attention. Please try replying to your fellow FReepers who have kindly responded to your concerns, given that the FReepers I've pinged reside in Ohio and have provided you with pertinent information.

I'm also just stating my opinion, but I think you're falling prey to misleading polls created by the lamestream which purposely overweighted the sampling of democrats to get the reaction they got from you.

Hard to see how little Zanesville and the other small towns outvote the big three “C” cities plus Toledo, Dayton, and Youngstown.

Here's something that should help......I was digging into voter results from 2008 thru 2011 and after Kasich, R was elected Governor of the state and Jon Husted, R was elected Sec. of State in 2010, the registered voter rolls in the state were cleaned up between the 2010 and 2011 numbers. In the 2008 and the 2010 elections, Ohio was showing 8.0 million registered voters... as of the 2011 election there was a net loss of 300,000 registered voters over all in teh state and the figures stand at 7.7 million registered in the state.

What I'm attempting to offer here is that the new Sec. of State of Ohio is attempting to clean the rolls of voters in Ohio.....and are continuing to do so in 2012, since my spouse and I received our notices to cancel our registration to vote in Ohio since we moved.

Finally of the 8 million registered voters in 2008 Obama received 2.94 million votes, McCain recieved 2.67 million.....300,000 less registered voters makes a difference to the overall win or loss with in the state, period.

BTW, 2012 registeration as of the primaries still shows at 7.7 million.
