1. People are slightly more valuable than acres.

[Nine]

14. Reminds me of the map the right-wingers pushed in 2000...

...showing how much land Bush had won. :eyes:

Incidentally, Northeastern Ohio is the most solidly Democratic part of the state.

[mohc]

2. That is 4 of 5 actually.

[usregimechange]

16. Cuyahoga is in Northeastern OH

[mohc]

18. For the purposes of this poll

The regions are mutually exclusive. So Northeastern Ohio correlates to Northeastern Ohio minus Cleveland. Otherwise the proportions would add to more than 100%.

Cuyahoga County (15%)
Northeastern Ohio (35%)
Central Ohio (21%)
Northwestern Ohio (11%)
Southwestern Ohio (18%)

23. You are right, thanks changing

[KittyWampus]

3. why is northeastern so lopsided?

[OnionPatch]

9. Cleveland and suburbs.

I'm not positive, but I think it's the most populated area in Ohio.

Edited to add: Oops, I see they already account for Cleveland, but it's probably all the other urban areas around Cleveland that affect the numbers.

[LisaL]

19. Cleveland has a large African-American population.

[dsc]

20. Akron, Canton, Youngstown, Lorain, Elyria, and Sandusky

are all in NE Ohio and not Cuyahoga County.

4. Count Much?

I mean, you could've even fit them on one hand!

:rofl:

[tekisui]

5. I'm not familiar with Ohio geography.

Does Cuyahoga CO. have high population, comparable to those other entire regions?

[NJSecularist]

6. Cuyahoga County is the largest county in Ohio

Not region, but county.

[Mendocino]

22. I assume you mean largest by population...

.. and not area.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

7. Cuyahoga is cleveland.

[tekisui]

10. Thanks.

[VolcanoJen]

15. It is interesting to note Pollster's polling trajectory in the last several weeks in Ohio and Texas

11. Any news on Kucinich?

Did he win his congressional primary? Just wondering...

[tekisui]

13. God, I hope so.

[Meshuga]

12. It will only be meaningful if he wins Ohio overall

I hope he does but I am not counting on it until I see the results.

[usregimechange]

17. Agreed, their exists on gender make me think it may go her way

[VolcanoJen]

21. To play with an old Carvile line, "It's the delegates, stupid."

An overall Clinton win by a handful of points in Ohio is meaningless. It's symbolic and the spin might last 48 hours, but hell, the way it's looking, Obama will net more delegates out of VERMONT than Clinton hopes to out of Ohio.
