The unions haven’t sent out the ‘alarm’ memo yet. That usually happens in a week or so.

Please keep me posted.

I think this time around these are very, very good numbers for us. So did the guy I spoke with, but we’ll know much more next week.

Trump is doing REALLY well in Northeast Ohio. If a Republican does well in NE Ohio, that Republican will win Ohio... Thus, the reason Hillary’s camp has pulled-out of Ohio.

Rob Portman (R) is ahead of Ted Strickland (D) by 12% right now.

Yes I think Ohio will go TRUMP.

However I was messing around on 270towin and I think this year the pivotal state is Virginia.

Meanwhile, a well-placed elections official in OH tells me that over the years Ohioans have gotten more comfortable with absentee voting and that's a good thing because "our down ballot candidates, judges, commissioners, tend to do much better on absentees than in person." Normally he said a judge's vote will go up 8-10% on absentee ballots over walk-ins.

53% of all ballots cast in Ohio during the 2012 election period were voted absentee or early in-person.

Ballots to overseas and military voters were mailed last Saturday; the election is underway!
