Reply #41: I consider Ohio in our fold now. I didn't make that clear.

[David Zephyr]

Ohio has had a near revolution toward the Democrats since all of the GOP's scandals and criminal corruption there. Add to that the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs and I don't see us losing Ohio. And also, I should have repeated my long held belief (which I've posted here for a long, long time) that Kerry won Ohio. I consider Ohio part of Kerry's numbers. I should have made that more clear, although I did mention we'd won Ohio's Senate seat.

But you are right, Ohio has to be part of the math and, if not, we will need to pick it up elsewhere which is also very possible.

Still, I do not believe that Florida is worth putting as much resources proportionally as McAuliffe did and which did not pay off. Florida is a big crap shoot for Democrats. We don't do well there. Hillary would have a better shot at it than Obama, in my opinion (and I support Obama), but I don't think she can beat John McCain there with a Republican governor and the State House controlled by the GOP.
