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?
Hamilton HUGELY outperforming for Rs over 2008. It will certainly be Romney, but may be R by a lot. (McCain lost Ham in 08, BTW)
But I might counter that with the fact that Obozo’s EPA has made a blatant, determined and effective war on coal which has even got the coal unions pissed so that could make the difference.
“They have lost over half of their registered voters since 2008 and 45% of those are Democrats.”
does that mean the GOP lost 55%?
She was very confident we would win Montgomery County---which NO Republican has done this decade. We're already up in this county 5000 Rs over 08 thanks to a powerful registration drive.
I heard from one other person---but forget if he was chairman of Hamilton or Franklin---that they were experiencing same response rates there (i.e., Is saying they are voting Romney by large margins) and heavy, heavy personal contacts with all Rs and Is.
I just don't see this state as close.
A lot more than now.
I don't know that any other candidate would have been able to withstand the media onslaught. Romney turned out to be quite the fighter and is giving obama a run for his money.
“what does that mean?”
I think the reference to 18,000 military ballots refers to Wright Patterson Air Force Base personnel.
Independents.
He's still a man who hasn't seen an issue yet that he wouldn't flip-flop on.
“Reproducing at the cellular level I guess! ;-)”
Doing it with their mobile devices? Here, hold your Galaxy S III against mine for that rapturous, copulating experience of sharing ourselves totally!
Why is there no open list of the ones who have sold their souls to the foreign control over counting our votes?
Because it hasn’t happened. The votes are counted precinct by precinct. This is one of those email memes that is totally fabricated.
In 2004 when the media was refusing to release good news for George W. Bush, I heard that Ohio was late getting its vote counted. I assumed Cleveland was “finding” bags of votes, but heard on the radio that the problem was in Cincinnati, where the polls were extended for all the voters lined up in conservative areas. I smiled, Bush won, and the media reported it eventually. Trust Cincinnati.
Thank you for your common sense vote.
Many of us are not in love with Mitt, but its either him or R2. I suspect many others like us “hope” Mitt will be a more conservative POTUS than we assume.
Supposedly Obama’s been carpet bombing Ohio with ads for many weeks now. Certainly Mitt can be portrayed as the classic villain of union members.
Mitt can lose Ohio and make up for it by getting FL, VA and CO and the below combos...
PA or MI
NV, IA and NH
NV, IA and 1 EV from Maine
WI and any one of the above states
That is what I thought of when I saw that commercial for the first time. ;-)

Honestly given his performance lately I wouldn't believe Romney if he told me the Earth was round. His campaign adviser was right, he truly is an Etch-a-Sketch and he busy recreating himself on each and every issue. It's disgusting. I'll take 4 years of Romney because it's better than 4 more of Obama, but that's the extent of my support. And I will spend the next 4 years hoping and praying and working to make Romney the first sitting president in 140 years to be denied his party's nomination for re-election. I don't have a choice yet; there are a number of real conservatives out there. But hopefully we can unite behind one early enough to keep Romney from getting renominated through the same kind of divide and conquer strategy that got him the pick this time.
The ad from the Obama campaign is John Glenn extolling Obama's character. The other is a Super PAC ad saying that Romney will hurt the children to pay for his tax cut for the rich.
Practicality may not be so pretty to us, but it may very well be necessary and may not be hardcore indicating of the practices of the POTUS.
I'm for looking the other way when it comes to campaigning if getting America back on track is at stake, as it most certainly is..
Once we get Mitt in, then we should push as hard a neccessary to keep him on “our” track.
It is at stake. But Mitt Romney is not the man to do it. At best he'll slow it down slightly. Getting America back on track requires a true conservative at the helm and conservatives in charge of the House and Senate. We're 0 for 3 in that respect no matter what happens in November.
Remember, Ohio has a Republican state gov’t. Helps tamp down on shenanigans. Ohio VIP and True the Vote will also be spread out amongst the polls.
