It's less than 12. And figure MOE, then account for turnout.

"Ok if you believe that Dewine is doing better in OHIO than Blackwell please raise your hand"

Just curious why you find that surprising. DeWine has run ahead of Blackwell all year.

[TitansAFC]

Indeed.

I must admit that despite my less-than-enthusiastic support for DeWine, his campaign has obviously been doing something right. In two or three recent polls now, DeWine is either tied or very slightly down. Almost every poll has equal Dem/GOP turnout in a state where GOP turnout is usually higher.

Mike DeWine just might pull this one one after all. He is running a surprisingly good campaign in the closing 60 days. Bravo, I say!

Now if we can only get Conrad Burns to show ANY sign of life in Montana............

what happens to McCain Republicans.

You mean get reelected by overwhelming numbers like MCCAIN AND SNOWE ?

I live in Ohio and I will raise my hand and say Dewine is doing better than Blackwell.

Ping.

That's OK; he's still the Secretary of State and controls the Diebold machines. :)

Is this the the same Strickland who couldn't be bothered to vote for HR4844 on whether citizens should show photo ID in order to vote?

[NeoCaveman]

Well that's a 6 point improvement for Blackwell from the last Rassmusen poll.

Does anyone have any concrete reason for me to continue hoping that Blackwell will pull off a miracle here?

[joesbucks]

Actually the word miracle is a key. Blackwell is counting on his ties with partiot pastors and their allied friends to rally the church base and come up with that miracle. I think the church base is already rallied for Blackwell and there are few people in that group to convert. The conversion is going to have to take place outside of his base which he had sewn up. Outside of his base, Blackwell has very high negatives. You either love him or hate him and those who love him have already stepped forward.
