Exactly. The internals don't matter that much. People may prefer Romney when asked specific questions but will vote Obama for nebulous reasons as reflected in this polling. People are not rational actors.
Romney seems to need Ohio, hopefully Ohio can be delivered in spite of its better than average recovery.
The media just simply will not show Romney leading Ohio until the very, very end. They have way too much hope invested into this meme that they can win if they win Ohio. Democrats have become so obsessed with this strategy/story or whatever one wants to call it of Ohio that they can’t let it go.
I have almost humorously wanted if I could figure out how to create a map that the MSM would produce in which the whole country is red except Ohio which would be blue.
