23. What the hell is up in Ohio?
Mon Oct 3, 2016, 03:36 PM
Oct 2016

I just heard on the radio that Trump was up in Ohio by 7 its???

I called my cousin to ask what was up and he told me not to believe it. He doesn't know anyone he works with (large insurance firm) or anyone in his neighborhood in Cleveland who is a Trump supporter.

That said, I worry about the bull crap that could be going on behind the scenes. Someone is lying.
What this means to me is that Ohio need folks on the ground to really be poll watchers and any machines need to really examined.

EDIT: I certainly don't mind the forecast, though! The only post-debate poll that I saw (not from the 538 site) was from Cuyahoga County in which Clinton gained 3% on Trump there. If she made similar gains statewide, then she'd probably have the lead indeed.

and we see Donald Trump digging his hole bigger and bigger. We all hope he digs such a deep hole that it is impossible for him to get out.

But I want to caution all of us, including myself, from taking a celebratory lap too early. We have over a month to go before election day and who knows what kind of chaos and crap could occur that day. Let's keep making sure we have Hillary's back, as well as all the Democrats up and down the ticket and save our celebrations for after the election.

But having said that... a little clapping is in order.

The only thing that's indicated Clinton has a shot in Ohio is David Plouffe saying so. Every single public poll shows Trump ahead there.

Mon Oct 3, 2016, 04:46 PM

GOTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohio is being set up for voter fraud. Jon Husted is trying to keep the feds out of Ohio to prevent hacking of the results. We need poll watchers and people to get out the vote.

Come to Ohio to help if you can. Phone banking from your home if you cannot come. Ohio is being set up to have our votes stolen. Also, the Koch brothers have put in a lot of advertising dollars to keep the job killer, Rob Portman, in the Senate. The lying media ads have hurt Strickland. We need progressive money here to correct the record, now.

Ohioans were backing Strickland for Senate until the progressive medias ads stopped and the Koch money came pouring in. Strickland is a plain spoken guy and a lot of the Democratic money people do not care for him. This bias against a son of Appalachia is hurting the Democratic Party and the nation by not backing a solid Democratic vote in the Senate.

I'll do my part in a C-Bus suburb. That this has been remotely close is an embarrassment.

I was a Bernie gal but now I'm all in on Hillary, hoping Bernie's nudging her further left takes.

This clown cannot be allowed near the nuclear codes. You people thinking about voting Libertarian need to take a closer look. I'm with them on Pot and the security state but the rest of their platform is nuts. The old joke about them being republicans who want to smoke dope isn't far from the truth.

...two of those numbers are now above 60% probability, too.

And, Polls Plus, Polls Only, and Now-Cast have Clinton getting more than 300 Electoral votes.
