Like I alluded to earlier, in OH you have to know where the votes are coming from. If they count NE OH early (Cleveland), then Akron, it will be heavily D. Then as you move south, it gets steadily redder. In 2004, Kerry had a big lead over Bush in the north. . . but not enough as the returns started to come in from the south.
I think Kasich can win this if he is this close. I don’t regret my move to FL 10 years ago, though.
Excellent point...every year when OH is in play we go through this kabuki drill and it all sorts out at the end...and typically, it’s good for the Pubs...except in ‘08, the year that will live in infamy.
