Like it was in ‘06, OH could be the key battleground state. Unfortunately, the state has been trending leftward. Bush beat Kerry in ‘04 by a smaller margin than he beat Gore by in 2000. The state turned blue in the ‘06 elections. Why? Scandals in the state-level GOP, an unpopular Governor, overhang of the Iraq war, job losses in manufacturing and other outsourcing/offshoring concerns. The ‘Rats skillfully exploited those and parlayed them into a resounding win in ‘06. The state sent packing a moderate/conservative Senator and elected a rabid moonbat in his place. The “true conservative” candidate for governor got slaughtered by over 20 points (so don’t let anyone tell you that “true conservatives didn’t lose” in ‘06). Bottom line: it’s going to be a tough one to hold onto in ‘08. Any kind of momentum built up by the ‘Rat nominee is going to be awfully hard to counter.

I understand your feelings, but you have to realize this is GREAT news: she was leading in every single poll recently, including KY (!!), OH, and tied in WI. So even while this is a slightly “redder” group of states, it’s still great news.

Oh, Rose... it is September 2007. The election is November 2008. There is still a whole lot of game left to be played.
