Reply #3: well to buy Ohio 2004 you have believe that W won despite:

[Botany]

35,000 new voters for the republicans and 350,000 new voters registered for democrats

Ohio lost more jobs than any other state in America from 2001 to 2004 but still voted for the incumbent
(knowing that economic factors are the # 1 criteria for voting behavior)

more registered dems then republicans (not much but more)

exit polls showed clearly that Kerry won

*************************

Ohio 2004 & Florida 2000 were just some of the more public "blips" but for years the "blips"
always went republican ..... Alabama and Georgia 2002, New Mexico 2004, and so on.

I think Obama won by an even bigger margin than was recorded in 2008. As all of America goes
to a paper trail, paper ballots, and early voting the republicans are going to become a real minority
party.
