Fatima,

LS is no troll. He is a committed Conservative and a pretty damn good author.

In fact, I have a signed book from him I treasure.

FRegards,

Jet

One thing that was so confusing about ‘08 was that Republican voters were coming out in strong enough numbers in some states to signal that McCain might do well. Problem was a good many of those Republican voters were voting for Obama, not McCain.

That was very disappointing.

Sure was if someone made an honest mistake they would own up to it.LS putting Romney as winner in 12 he would explain the differences of 08.Ls would explain why he had to apologize to posters for his mistaken 08 and show why he is right now in 12..

Ohio goes Republican whenever the Democrats get less than a 150,000 vote advantage in Cuyahoga county.

Not so.

In 2004 Bush won Ohio and lost Cuyahoga by 227,000 votes.

In 2000 Bush won Ohio and lost Cuyahoga by 167,000.

Barring some really outrageous scumbag maneuver (which is, unfortunately, just another day for the Dumbo Rats) this one is almost callable.

Don’t think there’s any disagreement here.

Jim is saying that if Dem advantage is less that 150K then Republicans ALWAYS win Ohio.

You are saying it is still POSSIBLE to win even if Dems have more than 150K advantage.

Man, you’re annoying. Leave LS alone. Either look at the data and come to your own conclusions or just ignore it. Ignorance to you may be bliss. Also, stop with the potshots.

Wow, you are pretty harsh over my friend and fello Ohioan LS. I sure wouldnt want to go to Vegas with you.

Many of us were suprised at the 08 Ohio vote but as someone who was a poll worker that day I saw a much better ground game by the Dems as far as turnout goes.

I dont see the enthusiasm this year as there was in 08. Here in the west side of Cincy its 20:1 for Romney when it comes to yard signs but i go over to the more afluent and university parts of town its more like 10:1 0dogeater.

Ohio is going to be close. I dont trust early/absentee, i vote on Election Day and i am hoping its a repeat of Chick Fil A Appreciation day.

Over a month ago, you two spotted trends in the early voting in Ohio, that, analyzed by county, looked better for Republicans than what happened in 2008. This was way before the first debate, back when Romney seemed to be polling badly in the swing states, and back when the media was telling the Romney campaign to give up. You noticed trends in OH, NC, IA that shouted that this election wasn’t going to be like 2008 at all.

Since that time, I’ve seen other observers and number crunchers like Adrian Gray (a Bush insider), twitter guy “NumbersMuncher”, CAC of AceofSpadesHQ, and pollster ElectionInsight of Ohio, all look at voter registration changes and the early voting and come to similar conclusions as you. They have different angles but their opinions converge that voting in Ohio is going Romney’s way. Kudos to you for your early “trend-spotting” prowess!
