OK, Ohio...tag,you are it! Feeling sorry for the ad barrage you are about to be hit with...

Nate Silver in the column just posted has Ohio as a 50:50 chance of being the one that decides the election.

I will admit I felt a little down yesterday afternoon. We just moved to a new community and decided to drive around to get familiar with things. Everywhere I looked was a sea of Romney/Ryan and Josh Mandel signs. I saw maybe 3 Obama signs. For a split second I allowed myself to believe that R will win. I came home, watched the debate, and saw Obama looking calm, cool, and collected next to a red, sweating, smirking asshole. My faith was restored. We have this. We will win Ohio.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
