Now I'm not saying this to all Ohioans, because I know some of them are doing their best, but give me a fucking break Ohio! Your economy is in the shitter and yet this race is still tied there...what horseshit. Yes, he is black and his name is Barack Obama...GET OVER IT! I am so glad that we can win this election without the need for Ohio...(or Florida for that matter).

Rant over.

1. He's gonna do really well up here in Cleveland and will probably do
just as well in Akron and Columbus...

The rest of the state, well, they can join the confederacy for all I care.

You watch, Youngstown, the most devestated, some would say, city in the country will go for McCain because of Abortion and Race...

18. No, Youngstown will go Dem. It's 44 percent AA%. Mahoning county gave 62% to Kerry.

3. Wow, that is sweet!
I am really sick of this kind of post or comment. People are working their balls off in Ohio and if you can't help then really, no really, just leave us the *ell alone. We have had volunteers from out of state living with us for the last six weeks, we have more coming in this weekend. The Obama team is working the program and things are looking up. We have many ignorant, 'religiously fanatical', racist folks who are very stuck in their 'thinking'. Also we had Blackwell the election thief who stole 2004 for Ohio and the world. I was on the street every Sunday for a month after the 2004 election begging the world to help with this deception. Where the *ell were you? Really, screw you and anyone else around here who brings this up before November 4th. Sick, sick , sick!

5. 2006... Ohio elects Dem Gov, Dem SoS, Dem Senator, Dem AG, Dem Auditor, Dem Dog Walker....
Heck, if there was a spot open for State Car Washer it would have been a Dem too. What more ya want? They're working on it!

7. Despite everything I think Ohio will go narrowly to Obama.

11. I feel bad for blue people living amongst the
knuckledraggers in Ohio. But hell, look at it this way, at least Ohio is close, what about those OTHER RED states like Ida-hoe, with 60% McCrypt? At least Ohioans are giving it their all.

My poor relatives that are stuck there... :cry: they don't get it either. :shrug:

15. Ohio is hanging in there.
People are working hard here. When the MSM is positive for Obama it is easier to take. Peace, Kim

12. Ohio is actually probably the most dependable of the three
And by the three, of course I mean the three thoroughly corrupted "swing" states that the whore media always spins as the ones to decide the election.

Florida - It would be nice, but no way I'm counting those chickens until they're hatched, plucked, and fried with 11 secret herbs and spices. Crist might have released a few ex felons, which is commendable, but it's probably not going to be enough to override the deep corruption that Jeb and Cruella embedded into the system.

PA - All Diebold. No Paper trail. DLC governor who was openly hostile to the nominee until just recently.

Ohio - Diebold machines and another reluctant DLC governor, but at least you have a SOS who's doing her job. That might be the factor that makes Ohio the safest of those three.

16. PA is by far the most reliable, because it has history of being a blue state.

19. Ohio is not all Diebold machines, thanks to our SOS.
Anyone who wants to can vote on paper, and Cuyahoga County is ALL paper ballot voting.

13. Does Ohio Have Early Voting?
That could alleviate some of the problems experienced in Cuyahoga County and elsewhere.

17. all parts of ohio are not like that
here in columbus...obama has tremendous support. the columbus dispatch doesn't represent the views of this area at all. ohio is trending more liberal.
