Anyone on DU from Ohio I'm wondering how that lie Romney is telling about Jeep is playing

[bigdarryl]

The media is on it but I'm wondering how the Ohioans are believing it or is it back firing on Romney ass

[Ninga]

1. Actually, Cleveland Plain Dealer's lead editorial today spanked Romney

for refusing to retract his lie.

[thereismore]

3. Good. Cleveland is very blue, what's going on in Cincinnati, do you know? nt

15. Doesn't matter. Romney has lost OH.

Obama has been tied or ahead in the last 18 polls. 18. Never mind he's been ahead really for the entire campaign. So there is no way on earth Romney is going to win. Dems can poop themselves till it's wet and runny in fear all they want, but Romney is not going to win OH. Not. Possible.

13. Link to editorial!

Flailing in Ohio, Romney rolls out Jeep ploy: editorial

Last week, Romney recklessly told a large audience in Defiance that he'd read that Chrysler's Italian owners -- that would be Fiat, which has controlled the American automaker since 2009 -- were planning to move all Jeep production to China. The Republican presidential nominee's statement predictably drew groans in Northwest Ohio, where the auto industry is critical to prosperity. He pledged to keep American jobs in America, if elected. http://www.cleveland.com/opinion/index.ssf/2012/10/flailing_in_ohio_romney_rolls.html

2. Its on commercials

But everyone has heard it isnt true. It isnt carrying water.

4. The people in Ohio who would vote for Romney don't care about his lies.

They think he is a Christian who will keep this country safe from brown people and as Romney says,'the poo-er'.

As hard as it is to understand ...they really do not think. So many Romney yard signs that it makes me ill to think that I live next to such small minded folks.

The good news is that there are many smart people who will come out of their hidy holes to vote. Hope like hell that it will be enough. With the Romney family owning some of the software that will count the votes here, don't think that I am not nervous.

6. I think most of the people who are voting for Romney only care that he's Not Obama --

Nothing else matters.

8. I am in SE Ohio people here beleive any negative comment about Obama

it doesn't matter if it is true or not. I was watching the storm converage for a few minutes at the gym this morning and this women next to me said she voted for Obama the last time but he acts too cocky to her she wouldn't vote for him again. I asked if she heard about Romney telling people in Toledo that Jeep was closing their plant and moving it to China, she said no. I said it is a total lie and now he is running an ad making the same claim even after everyone knows it is a lie. She said all politicians lie. Doesn't make any difference to her he's to cocky.

[peace13]

9. I bet she didn't vote for him in 2008.

The word cocky applied to a black man is a sure tell.

[doc03]

10. My take was he is uppity n/t

[ladjf]

19. In Southern White people talk, "cocky" = "upitty" a.k.a "doesn't know his place." nt

11. I'm in SE Ohio as well: Gallia County.

Picked the kids up at school and saw a car with a sign in the rear window that read: "I'll take the Mormon Over the Moron!" I wasn't aware there was another Republican besides Romney running for President.

[doc03]

12. Do you have all the War on Coal signs there? You know I have

had a feeling Obama won't carry Ohio all along, I just don't think he will. This is basically a red state.

[Indpndnt]

14. Then what happened in Ohio in 2008? Since Obama saved the auto industry, how can that reverse?

I don't see how that could happen.

[doc03]

16. To be honest I didn't think he had a chance in 2008 either. I have a

good excuse though I live in SE Ohio it's like being in the deep south here it is hard to
judge how the rest of the state thinks from this vantage point. I mean when you get in your car and drive down the road and every other house has a Stop the War on Coal-Fire Obama sign or something even worse. The sad part is 2 out of 3 people are registered Democrats here and in WV.

[Indpndnt]

17. Ah, I see. Let's just hope the rest of Ohio outnumbers the voters in your area.

Think of how much you'll enjoy yourself seeing those signs when the President is re-elected with Ohio's help.

[Maeve]

18. Must have been left over from the primaries eom

[Faith9326]

5. Here in central Ohio

I have yet to see that ad.

7. Next he will tell you his father's bankrupt "American Motors" is outselling GM.

Chrysler got THE JEEP BRAND from American Motors. Chrysler saved the iconic Jeep Brand from George Romney.
