Riding a wave of strong support among women, President Barack Obama holds a 50 - 45 percent lead over Republican Gov. Mitt Romney among likely voters in the crucial swing state of Ohio, according to a Quinnipiac University/CBS News poll released today, half the 53 - 43 percent margin he held when Quinnipiac/CBS News/the New York Times surveyed Buckeye likely voters September 26.

Lehigh Valley, York and Lancaster are more typical Republican areas. It’s the southeast/northeast Philly/Scranton/Wilkes-Barre areas you have to watch out for.
There's a couple reasons why Obama stickers are fewer this Election:
Cash for Clunkers was a handout to the inner-city tribal parasites, and their cars are gone (traded for CASH.....from his "stash")
Nowhere to put the yard signs, since they live in Public Housing, having been kicked out of houses they couldn't pay for, but were GIVEN mortgages when the Gubmint forced Lenders to loan to welfare-only/non-qualified buyers.
I live in Ohio too.
We have a lot of the ‘skank vote’ here. I mean there are more and more tattooed, skanky, career baby factories that call themselves ‘single moms’. AS IF they are some kind of victimized group, when in fact they are girls who have consistently made the worst possible choices for themselves in education, child bearing, etc. and have been popping illegitimate babies since HS.
They are VERY proud of the choices they have made and continue to make. They’re getting more and more government freebies.
It is a population that is exploding
Expect a late night - the MSM will refuse to call any battleground state for Romney until they absolutely have to.

I've thought this since early in the Republican primary. I've been convinced for two years now, that Obama is a one term president. The real race for president has already been won. We're just going through the motions now.
LOL! I’ve was thinking about that after I went to work. Went, “OH NOES!” Did I spell that wrong? Thanks!
Obama is going to get crushed and frankly I think he’s known this for months and planning for it... the entire election is just bread and circuses.

I agree with both of you about Obama knowing he was toast.
Which irritates me to no end about the way we had to settle for Romney. Any of the primary candidates would be cruising to a victory now, but sadly most Republican voters failed to understand that the 2010 off year election was just the beginning.Well, it is what it is, and now we are stuck with Romney.
I do however think that right after the 2010 election, Obama and his cohorts still believed they could still steal the election this year. It was when Obama was losing 15% to 20% of the primary votes that they realized how screwed he really was. Now they have to realize that he is going to get his ass handed to him in such a massive landslide defeat, that there is no way they can cheat their way to another four years.
I will add one thing we better be prepared for though. After Romney trumps Obama, in what I believe will be a historically huge win by the numbers, that the Republican establishment will be trying their damnedest to Lord it over us conservatives. They will claim that Romney's huge win proves that moderates can win big, while using Bush's close races with Gore and the guy who served in Vietnam as proof that conservatives cannot win big.
In the next four years we are going to see a huge in house fight between the moderate liberals of the party and the conservatives. Dare I say it will get ugly enough to possibly tarnish Romney's re-election chances. Re-election in the primary that is, not the presidency in 2016.
This is the way I have been reading the tea leaves as they have been settling for the last 8 Months. Mark my words down, because I promise you that our biggest enemies in the next few years, will be the Republican Establishment.
I guess that's better than fighting Obama and his commie buddies for another four years.
Thanks for being a good sport about it. Personally, I appreciate it when a fellow Freeper corrects me on misspelling or misusage. Helps me to improve my language skills, which I don't mind one bit.

I think we've been reading the same Tea leaves, my friend. The establishment wing of the Republican party does not intend to relinquish their grip on power, and will do everything they can to keep the conservative/Tea wing of the party in line. I believe this is a battle that will go on throughout Romney's (first) term in office, and will likely be one of the biggest political fights in history, as we approach the 2016 primary.
I could go on about my thoughts on this for half a page, but we'll have plenty of time to talk about what Tea-publicans must do over the next couple of years. Right now, we've got to escort Bozo out of office, and it looks like that's exactly what's about to happen.
I'm all for taking the time to finish off that job, then basking in our much deserved relief for a bit before we start up the next fight. Lord knows, it'll come sooner than we want. We'll be ready, though. We always are.
Dittos, my FRiend, Dittos.
