Do we have to have Ohio to win?

[FLyellowdog]

Can we do it without them negating the need for court intervention should a legal battle erupt?

[Arugula Latte]

1. Nope -- Lots of paths to 270 without Ohio.

Many, many scenarios could get Obama there without the Buckeye State.

[EFerrari]

2. Imho, yes. We need Ohio. And more than that, Ohio deserves to get

its votes COUNTED this time.

[VolcanoJen]

14. It is a point of pride for us!

We deserve to deliver to you the next President of the United States, Barack Obama!!!

3. The best part about Obama doing well in VA and other states is that we no loner need Ohio

Makes me breath easier. It would be great to get it but its not life and death.

[Captiosus]

4. No. There's a lot of possibilities.

In fact, if you believe the CNN map, which is much more conservative than others, but put Virginia in the blue column - if all the states they have listed in blue actually go blue, Obama wins.

The rest only add more towards a clear mandate.

5. no, we just need VA or CO

those are the two I think we have the best chance at

[FrenchieCat]

13. I think we need CO & NV & NM.......

Or VA or something like that.

[Hamlette]

20. we need 16 EV more than Kerry. IA is 7, NM is 5. Those two seem in the bag

so all we need is one more.

CO VA NV OH FL NC take your pick

My picks are CO or VA

[LSK]

16. VA and IA with IA being all but clinched right now

[saltpoint]

6. I think we're going to win it either way.

[Ken Burch]

7. the Ohio legislature should introduce a bill to distribute its EC votes proportionally

I think that could be done by simple legislative majority in that state.

Is it looking likely that both houses of the Ohio legislature will go blue this year?

[FLyellowdog]

9. No idea from me.

[FLyellowdog]

8. Thanks for the help.

Earlier posts from DUers sound like Ohio's going to be mess...already is, actually.

[VolcanoJen]

10. COME TO OHIO

"Let's Win This Thing"

Click on the link in my sig line for the details... yes, Obama can win without Ohio, but come help us put it away!!

[FLyellowdog]

11. True. But we want this thing settled Nov. 4...not weeks later.

[VolcanoJen]

18. With all due respect, "weeks later" is *rich*, coming from a Floridian.

Which state will put Obama/Biden over the top first? A friendly bet... I say it's Ohio. ;-)

[FLyellowdog]

19. I know...we're Floridiots...but born and raised in NC.

[Drunken Irishman]

12. No, but we'll get Ohio!

[LSK]

15. no, only VA

[Phx_Dem]

17. Hell no! We have lots of options.

McCain ABSOLUTELY HAS to win Ohio.

[FLyellowdog]

21. I think what I'm saying is

we want Ohio but we want 270 without Ohio so it's over when it's over. Right?

[thoughtcrime1984]

22. No, but it could be a dagger to the heart, if the GOP had a heart, that is.

[FLyellowdog]

23. I'm all for that!!!! (Hope I'm not being rude.)

[thoughtcrime1984]

24. What we say on here pales next to a Palin/McCain rally, don't worry!

:)

[FLyellowdog]

26. Yes, we're safe here. I wouldn't go to a Palin rally for all the tea in China.

[Berry Cool]

25. You want Ohio. You need Ohio.

Don't act like it's OK to disenfranchise Ohio, because it won't matter! I live in Ohio!

[Guaranteed]

27. No, we have 264 EV's with IA, NM and NH locked in.

From there, any one of CO, VA, FL, OH, MO, NC, IN, win for us. Even NV ties, and we would then win in the House.
