(3,003 posts)That's why Ohio is our top target. If you think five electoral votes isn't a "big" difference, perhaps you should be reminded of the electoral vote totals in 2000.....
Bush 271, Gore 267

(340 posts)Saying OH isn't important.
I'm saying that once VA is called for O then its almost impossible for Romney to recover EVEN IF HE TAKES OH.
Hell, I'll even give Romney CO, FL, and NH and he STILL can't beat Obama if he loses VA. He's been counting on VA, and VA is NOT going to come through for him.
So many keep talking about a late night etc....NO. No late night. Soon as VA is called for O, its over.

(109 posts)end of discussion..crap. If you can't save a state with an auto bailout and win then the people in this country are evendumber and more rascist than I thought.
I live in the DC metro area--I think we have a good chance to win VA-Prez and Senate

(6,960 posts)Win Florida and Ohio doesn't matter and Virginia doesn't matter and take your pick of other smaller swing states and they don't matter either --- Obama wins.
By focusing on Ohio, the Obama campaign has made Rmoney sink tons of time and money into a state that Obama was likely to win anyway. In the meantime, Obama has what, nearly 200 field offices in Florida?
And, the polls now show Obama up in Florida.
If I'm right then it shows even more how brilliantly strategic the Obama campaign has been.

(13,305 posts)Have Republican governers. I don't trust them worth shit. I'm afraid if it's within 2 points in any of these places then they are going to pull some major shenanigans.
I can't do anything mysef as I'm not from there, but I'm begging my fellow Dems from those states to do what they can to increase the margins by enough that they can't pull any of this garbage. The country is counting on you.
