a “tie” can be tipped by fraud
WTH is it with the people of Ohio?????
They want 4 more years of THIS?
ping
WTH?
As I said to a woman in our church who has an Obama bumper sticker, "Where do you buy your gas and groceries?"
Yep. I got the blank stare I expected. Totally clueless 47%-er.
Rasmussen Swing State Tracking: Romney 50%, Obama 45%
Ohio Romney 48% Obama 48%
Swing States: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Where I've highlighted the states where Obama is believed to be either ahead or the race is tied.
So where in the heck it our 5% advantage? Is Romney up by 10% in the non-highlighted states? It doesn't add up.
The Marxist is pouring everything into Ohio.
Money, his time, his ginormous ego, fraud and the dreams of his Communist fathers, (no telling who the heck they are...lol).
I’m praying he loses Ohio and the election in a landslide.
Lord, hear our prayers.
The trend is with Romney. Romney was down 4-5 before first debate. He closed it to 2-3 after 2nd debate. It’s now tied.
A president, less than 2 weeks out, under 50, is in big trouble.
Romney will win Ohio by 3-4.
, it occurred to me that almost all of the other polls in Ohio are based on the 2008 party identification turnout which was Dems +8 (an historic high). HERE’S the rub – Ohio does not have registration of party members. SO, HOW did the pollsters gather this information? Here’s how - in primary elections you must ASK for either a Democrat ballot or a Republican ballot. The 2008 party identification statistics are based on these numbers established in the primary.
NOW do you recall what was happening in the primary season in March of 2008? McCain had locked up the GOP nomination and Rush Limbaugh was heavily promoting “Operation Chaos” encouraging conservatives to cross over and vote for Hillary. I did. So, I am one of the people counted in the Dem +8 poll weighing going on this year.
How many of you actually think I will vote dem on November 6?
What percentage of that +8 number actually represents conservative crossovers participating in Rush’s “Operation Chaos”? I’d sure like to know, but I’m willing to bet it’s at least 100,000 people.
Here in Ohio Romney is NOT tied, he’s AHEAD. Throw in the undecided breaking at least 2 to 1 for Romney and he’s safely ahead (for now).
There are many more Romney/Ryan signs on the east side of Cleveland (in the Democrat stronghold of Cuyahoga County), and more popping up each day. Folks, these are areas that were just littered with Obama signs in 2008.
Over Labor Day, the county fair in Mahoning County (Canfield Fair) - of all places - had many vendors featuring an Anti-Obama, pro-business sign hanging in windows.
If Romney keeps his 3-4-5 point lead in Gallup and Rasmussen, the state poll watching will not matter.
There is no way that Romney will lose the electoral college vote while winning nationally by 3-4 points.
With Obama at 48 and the undecideds breaking for Romney, this looks like a Romney win. Is this why Obama is talking about how to win without Ohio?
Quinnipiac has it O+5 in their new poll this a/m
Wait to see the internals before panicking though
Who knows what they’ll be
Even the Washington Post/ABC News is getting on the bandwagon.
And Nate gayboy Silver is down to a mere 68% likelihood of obama winning.
The whells are falling off the wagon!
Don't forget a couple of things that were harbingers of what's coming: 2010 and the Wisconsin recall.
Dick Morris can be a nut, but I actually agree with him right now. Romney wins by 4-7 points and gets over 300 EVs
Apparently the numbers coming from Ohio don’t make any sense.
Ohio typically gave to the GOP candidate a slightly better than the national average result.
A GOP candidate claerly leading nationally shouldn’t have any problem carrying Ohio.
Either these numbers aren’t accurate or the car-factor is bigger than expected.

“The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Ohio Voters, taken the night after the final presidential debate, shows both President Obama and Mitt Romney attracting 48% of the vote.”
THIS is the change I was waiting to see (along with Ras’ report today that Iowa is now 48-48, as well).
So long as Obama held his lead in both of the above states, it was going to be a tough climb for Romney to “run around him”.
But now that Mr. Romney has pulled neck-and-neck, getting to the finish line ahead of Obama becomes MUCH easier for the Romney campaign (because of the “uncommitteds” who will break in favor of the challenger).
I think we may have both Ohio and Iowa. If so, Obama is defeated.
(Aside — Obama will likely still win PA, MI, MN, NV and WI, but it won’t matter so long as Romney wins both IA and OH).
I’ll predict the final Electoral College tally as Romney - 277, Obama - 252 (assuming Mr. Romney gets the one Congressional district in Maine that is leaning towards him, otherwise, it will be 276-253).
A very tight win — but still a victory.
