Meme Dead in O-HI-O
Okay, enough with the candidate-who-wins-Ohio-wins-it-all hype. Stop. It only encourages. And I love Ohio. I even have several close in-laws there and have visited state dozens of times. Outside of Chuck Todd and a few others you never hear this: Obama could very well win without Ohio, and Florida, and Virginia. That's why the GOP bluff about "winning" is so off, even if the media are now pushing it. Obama could still win without those states if he takes other toss-ups, all within reach based on polls and pass behavior (favoring Dems off and on): Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Colorado, Wisconsin. In fact, many are already giving him Nevada and Wisconsin and the others are truly even. Obama is even close in Arizona. And Virginia and Florida certainly are feasible.
