Ohio has a R-leaning metro in Cincinnati.  It might be the most right-leaning major metro in the northern US.  The only Democrats Hamilton County ever voted for were LBJ and Obama, and in 2000, 2004, and 2012 the number of GOP votes in the county (usually around 200k) has been larger than the margin of victory statewide.

Take Cincy away, and Republicans would have a much harder time picking it up.

southern Ohio is southern. Southeastern Ohio is coal country. What's the minority population in Ohio relative to Pennsylvania?

The white population of Cincinnati is conservative German Catholic.  It's more like Milwaukee or St. Louis than anything else.  Note how Republican the white populations of those two cities vote, and I'm guessing you'll see a similar pattern.
