Re-elections are typically referenda on the incumbent, not on the challengers. The fact that Obama isn't down by 7 indicates that there are a healthy number of people who disapprove of his job performance, particularly independents and Democrats, who yet will not vote for any of the four Republicans, even if they like them personally.Dustin Ingallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599131416393266722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-88347991006065030802010-12-14T13:18:34.909-05:002010-12-14T13:18:34.909-05:00The Republicans need Ohio to win.

Kerry and Gore both would have won if they could have pulled out Ohio. <br /><br />On the other hand, the Democrats can win without it (by pulling out victories in states like Virginia and Colorado)...<br /><br />So considering that - this is very good news.<br /><br />But man, it's scary that Sarah Palin can get 42% of the vote in a state like Ohio... what's wrong with people? <br /><br />How can anyone vote for Sarah Palin? It's mind blowing to me.Jonny Vhttp://www.vimaxreview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-44391124852509633182010-12-14T12:19:49.466-05:002010-12-14T12:19:49.466-05:00I don't see these poll results bad for either ...I don't see these poll results bad for either side. Your next poll could have the GOP lead by 1 or 2 points. The earlier comment on yesterday's blog that GOP frontrunners were in bad shape, to me, wasn't accurate. Pretty much a tossup, just like Ohio has always been.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00057620444293132186noreply@blogger.com
