Will southwest (Ohio) produce another GOP landslide?
Columbus Dispatch ^ | 29 September 2008 | Jim Siegel

LEBANON, Ohio -- The clock reads 1:30 p.m. on a weekday, but one wouldn't know it by looking around the room. Warren County Republican Party headquarters is buzzing as supporters steadily stream through the door looking for yard signs or information.

Inside, Randy Cornett and Ron Maag are putting together yard signs -- but not just any yard signs. Unlike the free McCain/Palin signs leaning against a far wall, this new batch costs $5 each. Still, Cornett said, folks are buying them up as quickly as they get them in.

In large, white script, the signs sum up in a single word why there's a new bounce in the step of GOP leaders trying to deliver Ohio, and specifically southwestern Ohio, for John McCain. Sarah!

Because of a series of your recent comments. You seem to be concerned about a lot of things.

How much did Bush win OH by? Which time? In 2004 it was about 118K votes (2%). In 2000 it was about 177K votes (4%).

You really think M has been holding this last week? Believe it if you want to. I think he has blown his slight lead and will need some luck to get it back.

Do you really think the election is tonight? Geez, relax.

I was looking at a PA poll yesterday. I think it showed McCain trailing by about four points. Not bad right, considering all the supposed trouble he's been in lately? [cough, cough] Unfortunately the poll showed 53% Dems, 39% Repubs. In 2004 the exit polls showed a +2% Dem advantage, yet this poll shows a 14-point Dem advantage. And the Obamessiah still can't put away McCain.

And I'm supposed to worry about this stuff? Please...

I think the Bradley effect will weigh with adults but college students I question. Maybe they will be just cancelling out each other’s votes. I can’t miss an election so that my vote counters my sister’s.

Isn’t there some way for a cross check with states to see if you vote in Ohio your absentee ballot would not be valid? This ACORN crap happens every election. I can believe the GOP hasn’t figured out a counter measure.

Well, at the rate they are building around here, it won’t be long before we are just an extension of Cincinnati.
