Starting to feel like Obama needs to

[TDale313]

And can get to 270 without Ohio and probably Florida. Both are sounding like total messes. I think he will get there without them. I also think he will not allow this election to be stolen without a hell of a fight. Nervous, but cautiously optimistic.

1. Someone needs to go to jail this time

[TDale313]

2. Abso-fuckin'-lutely! n//t

[AsahinaKimi]

3. I am a nervous wreck...and will probably be

till well after the votes are in... This may end up being a real freaking battle.

[TDale313]

4. It might be denial,

But even with the valid reasons for concern, I'm feeling pretty calm and confident about Tuesday. I just have this gut feeling Obama's on top of this. I am positive if people's votes are counted, he'll win. And I don't think he'll let this be stolen without one heck of a fight.

[AsahinaKimi]

6. well thats it then, because

IF this election is stolen, there is going to be a battle for it.. its not going to be a concession speech like Al Gore, or John Kerry. This may end up being the biggest battle between Republicans and Democrats ever.. if there is proof of tampering. And damn it, some of these bastards should get the book thrown at them.. with penalties being strict, harsh and expensive.

16. See this woman?

She will personally kick Husted's ass every time he tries to pull this crap.

[TDale313]

19. Absolutely adore her. n/t

5. Ohio is just fine.

People need to step back and calm down. The same stuff we're hearing today we heard four years ago. If Obama's poll numbers are correct in Ohio, he'll win the state by nearly 300,000 votes. It's not easy to steal 300,000 votes ... it really isn't.

7. I know..the only problem seems to be

the Ohio SOS wasn't jon husted 4 years ago.

I try to stay positive..I'm just sayin

[Drunken Irishman]

15. It doesn't matter who their SOS is...

He's not the one who counts the ballots. He's not in some office shredding votes. Just as long as the margin is above 100,000, Obama shouldn't worry.

22. Okay..sounds better. Just shell shocked starting with

katherine freaking harris.

11. THANK You

So tired of this Jon Husted crap . . . folks, Drunken Irishman is right. "Provisional ballot" antics and other issues aren't going to decide a state where Obama leads by about 4-5 points (and maybe more). Husted can try anything he wants, and I'm sure he will, but they're NOT going to able to steal it unless it's close. And there's NOTHING that suggests that it will be.

17. I'm pretty comfortable we have Ohio with Early Votes

The coordination of President Obama's grassroots volunteers has been an enormous success We have been doing GOTV since Oct. 2 here and most people I know have already voted. I canvassed and people I talked were voting early or had. The older people seemed reluctant to early vote but early voting was by far the choice of most people I spoke with.

18. I don't think the Obama camp is going to let him get away with it, anyway.

They're lawyered up to the hilt, and they ARE NOT going to put up with any shenanigans like those in 2000 and 2004.

[DarthDem]

21. Agree

. . . but it won't even get to that point. If Willard thought Ohio was winnable, he'd be camped out there nonstop, not making fool's errands like going to Pennsylvania on Sunday.

[Cha]

23. "Hilt" sounds Good!

[kentuck]

8. If Obama won CO and VA...

He could lose WI and OH and still win.

[TDale313]

10. Also, I doubt he'll lose WI. n/t

[DarthDem]

12. He's Not Losing Wisconsin

He simply isn't. There's NO polling evidence to suggest it. And we've all seen how easy it is for the right wing to manipulate polls. But even they couldn't manufacture a lead for Mittbot in Wisconsin.

Now, guess what? Everything in the above sentence also applies to Ohio.

This is over.

9. I have heard from good sources that Obama is up 7 in the internals and that they have 300 attorneys

ready to activate in Ohio. This source has been spot on several times before.

[TDale313]

13. Really good news. Thank you.

Still kinda hoping it doesn't come down to Ohio.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

20. That's very good news

If their internals are at 7, we're in fine shape.

Thanks for the information you share here.

14. Your Concern Is Duly Noted.Thank You For Your Input./nt

25. Really, what is the purpose of a post like the OP? Romney has lost Ohio and is desperate in Florida.

People need to fucking stop listening to Fox News.

[former-republican]

24. Without Ohio and Florida ?

How?
