TIME Poll Ohio: Obama +5

[Mr.Phips]

Jesus Christ, why does this damn state like Obama so much?  

All you Democrats will really be laughing in 2014 when we fall down to a puny third in the House and fall below 40 in the Senate so President Christie can come in and privitize Social Security and Medicare.

Talk about cutting off your noses to spite your face.

Whoever wins this election will be welcomed with a booming economy in the next few months.

Yeah, this is a big part of why Phips is ridiculous. If Romney wins he'll be take credit for the recovery and win re-election in a landslide and the Democrats will be shut out of government for a decade. Pretending there's some distinction between the Democratic agenda and Obama's re-election makes no sense at this point.

Democrats are already shut out of the House and most state legislatures for probably two decades because of Obama and his DNC sitting on their hands during the crucial 2010 midterms.

I wouldn't go quite that far.  Those big elections 2006, 1994, 1946 often do not have lasting effect. 

1994 did.  Republicans held the House for 14 of the 18 years after and that election gave them a seemingly permanent advantage in redistricting.

[Mr.Phips]

The states colored blue only give Romney 267. The green represents the Obama firewall and Romney has to take one of them in order to win. Good luck with that! The Obama firewall is an unstoppable creation.

I guess you're being facetious, but it doesn't look great on that front for your guy - after all he's not ahead in polling in VA, NH, IA, or CO anyway.  In my opinion only Nevada is really 'unstoppable' for Obama, however.

He's tied in Virginia and Colorado.  Nine times out of ten, a tie goes to the challenger.
