Battleground State-Ohio

[Yellowdogtexan]

Ohio was the key state in 2004 and if Kerry had won Ohio he could have won the Electoral College vote and still lost the popular vote. In 2004 Ohio had a republican governor and a republican secretary of state and there was some questions about voter suppression. Now Ohio has a Democratic Governor and a new Secretary of State and we will see if there is any difference in results.

Some Ohio republicans have complained that mc :cane is not being active enough in Ohio and is behind bush in organization http://forums.thepoliticalasylum.com/showthread.php?t=20344&highlight=ohio

Here is a good poll on the results right now http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/06/poll_obama_holds_big_lead_in_o.phpBarack Obama seems to have a very good start in Ohio as the general election season beings, a new survey from Public Policy Polling (D) suggests. The numbers: Obama 50%, McCain 39%, beyond the ±3.6% margin of error.

Back in early March, when Obama was on the verge of a bruising defeat in the state's primary, McCain led 49%-41% in PPP's reporting. If Obama can successfully unite Dem voters and not lose too many Hillary voters -- and this poll indicates he can -- then life could become very difficult for McCain.

Also worth noting: PPP's final pre-primary survey of Ohio got Hillary's primary margin almost exactly right.

Obama has some good help in Ohio. :D
Surely the Hillary women aren't dumb enough to turn to McCain in large numbers.
There is plenty of racists propaganda being put out in many areas to our south to try to discourage Obama supporters.

As a country, let us not make fools of ourselves again.
Two strikes with Bush is all this nation can stand.
I fear that voting for McCain will be the third strike for our nation.

Dems and Independents, don't allow yourself to be deterred by the racists and swiftboater types.
