For those who didn’t already know, Cuyahoga county is Ohio’s most populous county. Here are the results from 2000 and 2004.

2000:

Gore 359,913 (62.62%)
Bush 192,099 (33.42%)

2004:

Kerry 448,503 (66.57%)
Bush 221,600 (32.89%)

As you can see, the Democrats increased their total votes by 88,590 and their winning margin 51,188. Obama’s goal will be to increase those totals even higher, since he’ll have even less appeal in Ohio’s rural areas in the southeast, central, and western parts of the state.

Typical people in my county (Cuyahoga) are programmed from birth to vote only for (D). They don’t need a party, leaders, or a political machine. It’s automatic. Not a chance in the world Obama loses ground here due to Mafia dummies Russo and Dimora. He’ll get his 95% black vote and a good chunk of the Kucinich kool-aid crowd.

The OBAMANATION must not occupy the White House! He is a liberal socialist, far more dangerous to the USA than John McCain!
