MORNING JOE talking about Romney needing to decide if he should pull out of Ohio...

[brooklynite]

...taking the news cycle hit, but making a business decision to invest his resources in a State with better prospects.

[WCGreen]

1. As a Buckeye, I would LOVE this to happen so I don't have to watch all their crappy commercials ...

Please make it so....

If they give Ohio away, that makes their job even more difficult.

[Kolesar]

7. Dale Virgil Blanchard could win Latourette's seat

He earned some name recognition by being on the ballot several times over the last decade. If there is a Democratic groundswell, he might win over the Republican treasurer from Geauga County. Latourette's old district became a swing district after redistricting.

Lynch is doing a scant amount of yard signs up here.

2. Wouldn't that really mean Romney leaves the state to his superpac?

Would they follow his lead out of the state or feel free to pump the limits of their mendacity?

[catbyte]

8. If it's the same as in Michigan, the superpac pulls out too. SWEET RELIEF!

[brooklynite]

14. More likely, the SuperPAC's will pull out of Romney's race in favor of the House and Senate

[NCLefty]

3. I see Joe's trying to redeem himself to his homies by talking up the possibility of a turnaround

[TroyD]

4. Don't think they can do that

It would be conceding defeat.

And Morning Joe said something like this a couple weeks ago, and it never happened.

[CTyankee]

16. Joe is always saying sh*t like that..."the attacks on Bain aren't working!" Remember that?

That was before the attacks started working BIG TIME for the Obama campaign. Joe had to backtrack on that one.

Of course, Mitt's goose was cooked with the 47% tape...that sealed the deal with the American voters. No amount of debate performance can change that (except in Joe's fevered brain...)

[Walk away]

5. He seems to be stuck at 190 to 200 Electoral College votes.

Where in the country is he going to pick up 70 or 80 more votes? Is this just about the down ticket candidates at this point? I don't get it.

[helpisontheway]

6. According to Joe

Romney will run the board. He will take Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado,Florida,etc. since they are going his direction now. Oh and that all depends on the debate.

I want Romney to fail so bad that he would be embarrassed to be in public Thursday. I want him to fail so bad that even the media can't prop him up and say that he won.

[INdemo]

13. It the Rpukes can conduct phony registrations

then phony polls would be simple for them...And could it be they are pushing everything to one state as in 2004? It might just be they are setting us up for another election theft in Ohio
If Rmoney failed that bad the MSM,mainly Faux and CNN.NBC,ABC,CBS would all declare he hit it out of the park..Oh yes..I left out MSNBC with Morning Joe and Chuck Todd.

[progressivebydesign]

22. Lolz. Joe must be spiking his coffee. All of those are NOT going Romney's way. nt

[smorkingapple]

9. He does that and it's the first maggot on his campaign's body

It's a sign of defeat and you'll see money move away from him in droves. It won't just be a news cycle hit, it'll highlight how tough his path is without Ohio and diminish enthusiasm among the base.

[Heather MC]

10. I think Romney needs more offices in

Texas

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

11. Utah! Sweet Jeebus, don't forget UTAH!

[cheezmaka]

12. If he pulls out of Ohio

he might as well pull out of the RACE period (maybe he can save what little of his dignity he has left)

[OLDMDDEM]

15. Romney has no dignity

He has no dignity. He has shown this time and again. He would not be a good representative of we the people. He would never stoop our level to help any of us with jobs, etc. etc. I grew up in a republican family and switched when I voted for John Anderson back in the 1980s. I never looked back, but I always voted for someone with ideas. Ross Perot as an example. He really did know what he was talking about, but his appearance ruined his campaign. I hate to put it that way, but he really was "all ears." Romney is all "money" and will never be able to figure out how to make the country better. This is something he wanted to do because he has nothing else to do. It's easy to see that he is out of his league as his spoken words are not befitting a presidential candidate or even a CEO of a company. I firmly believe he was simply in the right place at the right time and had to be escorted through making Bain Capital work. I really don't think he knew what he was doing. It's obvious now that he hasn't a clue on how to run the country.

[TexasCPA]

17. If he losses OH, then he must win

CO, FL, IA, MO, NE2, NV, NC, and VA. At that point the EV is tied 269-269. Tie goes to Romney because the Republicans control more state legislatures.

[brooklynite]

18. That's not how a tie is broken...

...The US House, voting as State Delegations, cast one vote per State for their choice as Presaident.
MEANWHILE, the US Senate, voting as individuals, each cast one for for their choice as Vice-President.

Won't that be fun?

[TexasCPA]

19. You are correct

Romney as President and possibly Biden as VP depending on if the Democrats can hold onto the Senate.

[brooklynite]

20. No, no, no...

...it's the CURRENT House and CURRENT Senate that vote:

[progressivebydesign]

21. Yeah, but he won't win all of those other States. I call Iowa & FL for the President, & maybe CO nt
