Romney last led an Ohio poll 14 polls ago

Trends, momentum, incumbent under 50%, blahblahblah = Dick Morris gobbledygook

If Romney had a chance in Ohio he would have led a few respectable polls by now. The election isn't a few months away anymore. Most minds are made up.

The only thing disrespectful is continually looking at Ohio as beating their democratic turnout in 2008, which is laughable to say the least. Once you realize that a good majority of the polls from Ohio are beyond skewed for the president, maybe you could stop looking like such a fool with comments like "Ohio is clearly off the table"

Christ, do people truly not that understand party ID is fluid....or are they just willfully ignorant?

Not even right-leaning polls have shown better than a tie for Romney, so obviously he's got a problem there that can't be explained away with the in correct Party ID argument. Obama likely wins Ohio by 4 points.

Pretty much this.

Romney's problem is the bailout and the growing economy in Ohio......not "skewed" polls.

The polls, however, are tightening.  Even PPP, on 10/20, showed it down to a 1 point race (a drop of 4 for Obama).

And I checked, Romney was up in the summer in some polls.

And in other polls have Obama up 5, 4, 3 points.

If Romney couldn't gain ground to pass Obama after the first debate......then chances are he won't in the next two weeks.
