Obviously, the path is much better WITH OH. I think we will win OH as long as there is not monkey business with suppression or with manipulation of the electronic voting machines.

Cleveland is the most liberal part of OH so it would have been shocking had the Plain Dealer NOT supported Obama.

I think counts of projected EV totals suggest that losing OH would make it next to impossible for Romney to win.
