Looks like Obama is winning by a percentage above 2 percent even without the aid of busing in Somalis or masses of people from urban areas for repeat votes or anything else the Obama campaigng was planning on doing. If Obama is winning Ohio by this much legitimately, how is Romney gonna be able to pull off a strong enough lead so that underhanded tactics can't be used to make him lose ? I thought Republicans were pulling off a strong enough lead and that the were voting more energetically than Democrats, way more this time. What exactly is going on here ? Could Republicans at least gain enough votes and get enough of their supporters energetic enough to win some more critical Senate and House seats, so that they can provide some sort of protection for our Constitution even if/when Romney loses

If it’s close they will cheat.

Maybe Ohioans like handouts more than jobs?

There was an article about accuracy of pollsters and Rasmussen was at the top. So look at that...Romney +2 :)

Got to hear Rove speak in Denver the other night. He sounded confident that Romney is going to get Ohio.

Romney wouldn’t be going to PA if he thought he was down in OH troll

A lot of whistling past the graveyard here at FR, similar to 2008, unfortunately.

All indications are that 0 is up in Ohio and is likely to take Ohio come election day. There are a lot of tortured scenarios that people here are putting up, but the polls tell a very different story. When you average the polls, 0 is up by a comfortable lead in Ohio.

Ohio almost follows the national trend, in this case it is Republican.

We have people from here working on the campaign in Ohio. The only question is whether Gov. Romney will win by only 5% or more like 10%.

What about Orange??

[Republican1795.]

Those Romney votes that were flipped for Obama earlier sure do not inspire much confidence either. Paper ballots are not perfect but better in retrospect.

BS! Can your doom-n-gloom, we have an election to win.

[toddausauras]

My God. Every polling trend and broken down into voting blocs shows Romney will win the election and still has the momentum. Unless something changes. I’m not whistling past the graveyard. We would have killed for these polling trends and leads in 2008. My father the huge Obama fan even calls Romney reasonable. Romney has this.

[sunmars]

let me be clear on this....if Obama is severely down in support in Conn, PA, Minn, WI, Mich, Oregon, Washington, he is not going to win Ohio or any of the swing states for that matter, its just pure simple maths, you do not lose that big a slice of national support and go on to carry swing states.

The polls are being boosted to keep this race competitive til the end. Do not believe the media.

[The Hound Passer]

Gallup said early voting nationwide is favoring Romney so even if Ohio is counter to this an Obama is wining early vote there it’s still NOT at 2008 levels. McCain won Election Day vote in OH but not enough to match Obama’s massive early vote.

Like everywhere else in the country, Ds are having a tough time find NEW supporters willing to vote. Enthusiasm is down. So it’s not as easy for Obama as you sound. Plus O is weak in many of his so-called fire wall states.

Two huge axlerod paid for polls were included in this average so just stop with the negative vibes. (Oddball, Kelly’s Heroes)

Once again, chicken littles look at polls---AN ESTIMATE OF SOMEONE'S STATEMENT THAT THEY WILL DO SOMETING IN THE FUTURE--- rather than #s of votes cast---HARD EVIDENCE OF ACTS THAT HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED.

It's amazing. All the hard evidence says Zero is so far behind his early vote # s that he has already lost OHZ, perhaps big. Yet you people keep looking at polls.

Absentee % point to big R win. D's up n absolute # s but so far behind 08 they can't make it up on Election Day.

"Am I the only one who suspects that one of the reasons for our continued economic, social and political hardships is that we as a people really are just getting collectively more imbecilic and becoming bigger dumbasses by the day ? What we have a sort of dumbass plague going on that needs to be cured ?"
