But that scheduling works both ways. Bonzo is NOT going to ‘Oiho’ because he thinks he has it sewn up; Romney is having a huge rally there because he’s desperate. Isn’t that just a teeny bit possible? Can anyone truly believe that the Rats have totally conceded Ohio? We can *hope* that’s the way things are, but ‘hope’ means squat.
From outside the campaign there is no way to tell whether a visit means desperation or something else. There is no way to tell whether a NON-visit means confidence or having already given up.
It’s just like the polls: people desperately try to spin them to see their boy doing well and ignore whatever evidence they don’t like.
There may have been one or two people on here back in 2008 who thought that the McCain campaign knew what they were doing, despite all evidence to the contrary.
It’s true that none of us out here actually KNOW anything; but it’s idiotic to assume that the Romney Brain Trust is infallable.
What are you talking about. 0bama was in three different places in OH today:

Romney is on the offensive; 0bama is on the defensive.
I think Obama was in OH 3 times today.
They are both in Oiho because it is still in play for both sides. My point is that while Ohio is the virtually the only game in town for 0bama, Romney is going into other states. Is it because he is desperate, or is it simply because he can? While we all have to tune in Tuesday night to find out, I still think the tell-tale sign is that while Romney is going into what was once thought to be safe 0bama bastions, 0bama is not doing the same.
The short version is right now, 0bama is trying to eke out a win of less than 300 EV.
