Ohio generally votes a point or so more republican than the national popular vote. With most national polls showing Romney with a 3 point lead, Ohio would have to drastically change its voting pattern this year. The media narrative has been for Ohio to be the big battleground. If Romney is shown to be winning in Ohio, there is no real path for Obama, and therefore nothing to hype.

Have you found this to be true during the past 3 or 4 Presidential election cycles?
