Ohio will be a tough nut to crack. They have lower unemployment than the rest of the nation, partially due to natural gas drilling and fracking so the "sucky" economy isn't as important to them, except for the coal regions.
And Mitt pretty much has to win Ohio to win the nation. No Republican has won the Presidency without the Buckeye state. (I was born in Columbus in the 60's before my parents got some sense and moved to Colorado in the 70's.)
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
That's probably pre-debate info... As I said before, I want to see the polls 3-5 days after the LAST debate in the series.
The coal regions are likely to lean more RMoney, but the larger cities with auto-industry connections are most likely to go for Obama, and that will probably wipe out any gains that RMoney could make. I think Ohio is going for Obama, but it will probably be close.
I wonder what the ratings were for the debate versus Monday Night football versus baseball playoffs and of the people who watched, how many have already voted. I didn't watch the debate last night.

I think they're going to run out of old-angry-white-guys and the 70% of Latinos, 18% of women, and 90% of LGBT, and 90+% of blacks are going to put it over the top.
Funny thing about insulting 47% of the population and calling them "victims" and "parasites"...It comes back to haunt you in interesting ways...
