Mitt Romney's Ohio Problem [Ohio A Must-Win for Romney or It's All Over!]

Mitt Romney's Ohio Problem By Z. Byron Wolf

ABC OTUS News - Mitt Romney's Ohio Problem (ABC News) Forget post-convention bounces - the numbers that really matter are in the battleground states, where President Obama's polling advantage is more concerning to Mitt Romney's team than any national numbers. No Republican has ever won the presidency without winning Ohio, and Romney isn't in a strong position to become the first.

According to ABC News' latest race ratings, President Obama is in strong position for 237 electoral votes, when leaning and solid Democratic states and combined. Mitt Romney has only 206 votes he can expect in his column, as of now.

Add in Ohio's 18 electoral votes, though, and Obama stands at 255 - within striking distance of the magic number of 270. Romney would need to win nearly every other battleground state - a list that includes Paul Ryan's Wisconsin, once thought to be safely Democratic - to pull out the presidency without Ohio.

Hey, everybody in Ohio, watch this clip, then decide on your vote:

Freedom
Life
Marriage

That is what is at stake.

2004 was 8 years ago! I understand where you are coming from but the situation was not on their side as it is today.

Like George Bush was in 2004, Obama is the incumbant and like John Kerry, Romney is the challenger.

If we base this election on the 2004 election - Obama wins just like Bush did.

1) Bush did not cheat - Obama does.

2) In 2004 there were not nearly as many dependents on government as there is today. Welfare people also vote with their wallet and that vote goes to Obama.

With Obama as bad as he is Mitt Romney should be so far ahead that even the most leftist polls in America should be polling Romney with a double digit lead EVERYWHERE.

It’s time for Romney to seriously start thinking about making some staff changes.

Bush was ahead by 8% this day 8 years ago. 8%. Like Obama, he just came out of his convention. He won by only 2.5%. Convention bounces are fleeting. Get a grip.

I don’t watch tv but hopefully Romney is running ads in PA, OH and WV on how obama is deliberately crushing the coal industry. Good bit of our coal here in SW PA is going to India and China.

I expect Obama to win because the GOP elite saddled us with a weak and lousy candidate.

They wanted Mitt Happens so they can’t blame conservatives if the One is re-elected.

I have no dog in the hunt in this election. Between two liberals, its not much of a choice.

2008 results where Obama won Ohio with 51% percent. I refuse to believe he can still get to 51%.

Several people claiming secret internal numbers.

Nobody producing anything more than a claim.

Not cool.
