Romney may have won 'the debate' but he's not winning Ohio

The media and everyone else can sit and talk about being disappointed in President Obama if they want to but what no one is talking about is the fact that Romney isn't winning Ohio. If he doesn't win Ohio he's not going to win the presidency. It's all about the numbers. President O can lose Virginia,NC and FL but if he takes Ohio it's GAME OVER.

Those leads in Wisconsin and Penn aren't going to go away because Romney got on TV with snake oil. The bad economy STILL had people in O's corner. Ohio is still going big for him because he was there for them when it counted. He didn't just tell them he showed them. No amount of BS Romney throws up is going to change that.

I can remember thinking the Prez should hit harder and faster in the 08 when Palin was running around talking "He see's Ammmureca differently" crap but who won? The media was ALWAYS going to call this for Romney just because he didn't stand there and shit himself on live TV. President Obama was NEVER going to be the winner. Could he have given us the red meat we wanted and hit back? Yes he could have but that's not who he is. He knows we are going to vote for him no matter what. Just like the rethugs are going to vote for Romney no matter what lies he tells. It's the mushy middle. He's going for the type of voter in Virginia that I know who is a republican,reads people magazine and is easily frightened by black men. I'm friends with a Virginia voter that is like that but guess what Obama doesn't scare her. He doesn't loud,he's smooth. He makes her feel secure. President Obama has us it's the middle he needs to push him over the top. When the media is tired of writing there "Romney comeback story" that David Plouffe said he knew they were eager to write when he was on Meet the Press this past Sunday we will see not all is lost. I live in Nevada,I volunteer and I can tell you I believe with everything in me that my state is going blue again. Ohio is going blue. The laugh at us today but they will be crying on November the 6th because as soon as they call Ohio for President Obama it's game over.

So when you get down about what is being written today and what is being said just remember what isn't being said,Romney can't win without Ohio.
