What in the heck is going on in Ohio? (VANITY)

Posted on 10/19/2012 9:21:26 AM PDT by AdamBomb

Everything is breaking our way. We have the momentum and a great candidate.

But something isn't right in Ohio. How in the world can zero be tied or up in this state?

Does anyone have any inside information or plausable theories?

"On the Wednesday after the election, you will be P!ssed after you see by how much it was......it's gonna be a lot bigger than the media wanted you to think...... "

There's about a dozen "Romney/Ryan" signs in front of my house here, and I can't risk putting stickers on my vehicle because I do some work in the City of Cleveland, and don't want to have my vehicle vandalized (it CERTAINLY would be, in Cleveland, with stickers that don't say "OBAMA"). I won't be pissed at all if Romeny/Ryan wins by a minimal amount in Ohio, just so it out-distances the "found" votes to over-turn it.

In Cinciinnati, I haven’t seen 1 Obama ad. They have simply disappeared. Romney’s ads, all positive, have increased.

I live in Cuyahoga County, and I see a few Obama signs, but fewer Romney signs. Of course, we have more dusky-skinned Obama supporters than you guys do, and we just don’t want our property vandalized.

Is Ohio one of the states that has hired the Soros owned Spanish company to count their ‘votes’? Why is there no open list of the ones who have sold their souls to the foreign control over counting our votes?

Its all about turn out here. 2008 is the statistical model they are using and it won’t repeat. It may be close, but Romney will take Ohio.

So, don’t you agree that Romney is Night and Day better than the current occupiers of the WhiteyHut? Or is it a backdoor vote for nobama via Virgil or Whatshisname from NM?

No: It will go to Obama.

Unfortunately there are too many yellow dog Democrats and Obama look-alikes to save the state, but many counties will go to Romney. Unfortunately Steny Hoyer will stay also PG outnumbers us.Too many Obama voters there for the rest of us to dump Steny.

Re: Maryland:

Obama will carry Montgomery Co, Prince George's Co, Charles Co, Howard Co and Baltimore city. The rest of the state will go to Romney by huge margins. But it won't be enough to flip the outcome here. It never is. We have too many federal workers and the entitlement classes are numerous.

I was at a small rally for Ryan, and while people were against obama they weren’t enthused about voting for Mitt until after the debate. The debate was a big factor for them...Hamilton Co.

Leave it. Maryland is really 3 states: one is the plush bedroom of The Federal Reservation, the second is the blighted urban entitlement center known as Baltimore and the third is the Rest Of Us. The Rest Of Us are to the right of Texas, but it doesn’t matter. We are outnumbered here.

Ohio is a microcosm of the entire country except less southern, although there's a southern influence near the Ohio River. You have union strongholds and inner cities like Cleveland, Toledo, and Youngstown. College havens like Columbus and Yellow Springs. Appalachian areas. Free Soil areas that have been republican for 150 years. Base suburban areas like those outside of Cincinnati. All points in between.

Obama's competitive in Ohio because while it is not Michigan, the Big 3 auto industry is important in Northern Ohio, and he's campaigning on supposedly saving GM. Interestingly, Lee Iacocca, a true independent, endorsed Romney.

I think he's a far better alternative to the current president. I also don't think that's saying much. I'm voting for Romney because he's what we've got. I'm not happy about it. I would have preferred to have a conservative to vote for. And I hope that I'll have a chance to vote for a conservative in 2016 regardless of who wins next month.

I’ve been on business this week in Ohio, first in the Dayton area now Toledo. Romney signs way out numbered 0bama signs I observed in the Dayton area and so far in the Toledo area I’m seeing more Romney than 0bama signs.

This so different than ‘08. Romney takes Ohio.

The problem with Ohio is the minority depended population is growing exponentially in the inner cities. Cleveland,Toledo,Dayton, Columbus,Akron, and Cincinnati have changed dramatically over the last ten years in demographics. Just look at these cities mayors. The college towns will also go for Obozo like Cincinnati, Columbus, and Athens county. We have to have motivated republican voters to win and pray for rain.

Charles is just about an even split with all of the PG refugees in the Northern end.The rest is as you say.

Just too many Obamaites either on the Government dole or the Government affirmative action job list for the rest of us to out vote them.

Whoever wins Ohio, I predict it will be within 2-3% points.

Anyone who says they are certain Obama or Romney has Ohio sewn up is fooling themselves.

It would defy logic for Obama to win a State where the Governor, SOS, Auditor, and AG (along with a majority of both Houses) are Republican. And you're correct about the R ground game. Just from simple observation the ratio of lawn signage in Romney's and all the Republican local office candidate's favor seems to be at least 2 to 1. And that is in what is probably the second or third most heavily Democrat county in the State (Summit).

If I were a Democrat I'd be deeply depressed and more actively concerned about the possibility of Sherrod Brown finally getting a well deserved boot up his a** from that nice Jewish kid with two Iraq tours, Josh Mandel. Except for the polls (which I'm convinced are a grasping at straws manipulation exercise) Obama looks like a goner in Ohio. If election day proves me wrong our State will owe an apology to the nation.
