There was likely something showing up in various internal polls and data sources that suggested OH was - in relative terms - moving much less against Obama than many other states. WI and MI swung 7 points to Romney, NV swung 6, PA and NH swung 5, & CO swung 4. In the end, OH only swung 1.5 points to Romney, making it the swing state with the smallest losses margin-wise for Obama when compared to 2008.
Chances are they saw OH as the true bellwether: by being in a good position there, it indicated that the remaining swing states would hold. By being in a bad position, the game was already lost.
