He was saying that now more people are identifying themselves as democrat, over 5% more. He tried to say it was tied in VA, 39% dems and republican id. Hewitt said on it's face that is ridiculous. Rass thought that the only way DeWine can win Ohio is to go totally negative, that even if every republican who voted in 04, voted again he'd still lose. I'm not buying it.
I don't either. It doesn't matter how they explain it, if 5% more people "identify themselves" as Dems, yet the voter registration rolls don't change (still GOP advantage in OH), then "where's the beef?" It still comes down to an oversampling of Dems by 5%, i.e., a DeWine victory.
