Is it true that Paul Ryan’s tie to Wisconsin could somehow affect Ohio too?

The Midwest tie will help, but the most important thing is religion. Changing the Catholic vote in Ohio, along with influence in MI, PA, and even VA is huge. His ability to address the people in a direct manner should be a strong second. Catholics voted for Barry in Ohio. With Ryan and Barry's attack on the Church, I don't see a repeat this time.

Paul Ryan went to Miami University here in Southwestern Ohio. The local media is really playing that up. His Catholic, pro-life position plays strong in Western Cincinnati which is predominantly Catholic, as well as in Toledo which is very Catholic as well.

Ryan will help Romney in Ohio. No doubt about that. Youngstown, Akron, Canton and certain parts of Cleveland are also heavily Catholic and everyone knows Obama has declared war on the Catholic church. Yard signs are around Ohio saying “Stand up for Religious Freedom”. They are all over the yards of Catholic churches. This is a big issue in large sectors of the state.
