McCain Picks Pawlenty

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

Obama won while losing Ohio? Unlikely.

I don't see why not, given that it only narrowly voted for him in 2008. It was one of the last states to go for McCain, and all red states on the map where won in actual 2008 by larger margins.

Ohio has voted for the winning presidential in every single election except for 1960, when it voted for Nixon by <10%. But I guess there is a second time for everything?

This guy would like a word with you:

He lost Ohio both times.
