One word that could singlehandedly help Obama win Ohio: NAFTA
This word needs to be a key theme in any of his upcoming speeches. In all upcoming debates. In any interviews. Everywhere.

Ohio needs to know about NAFTA.

Ohio is still feeling the effects of NAFTA. Play to their emotions and Obama can make in-roads to the working class Ohio citizens who have been so hurt by NAFTA.

2. He brought it up last night.
I highly encourage Obama to continue to bring this up. Ross Perot was right when he predicted that giant sucking sound when NAFTA took effect. It's got this country on a race to the bottom that everyone loses.

It's time for "free trade" to make way for fair trade.

3. Also, the betrayal of Ohio by Bill on WTI just to protect his benefactor Jackson Stephens

Not to mention Carville's sabotage of Ohio Dem voters on election night.

4. I sent this around Ohio and even to the Ohio-Obama campaign. I would love for Clinton
to address this. Maybe I have this wrong, but somehow it doesn't pass the smell test to me! I would love for Martin Sheen to bring attention to these "modifications" that will take place 1,100 feet from an elementary school ? What if these were your children (not you blm, but those questioning this)? Just because an area is impoverished doesn't mean it should be shit upon or used as to seal a political deal. THIS IS ON THE OHIO RIVER, ON A FLOOD PLAIN AND IN A MICRO CLIMATE CONDUCIVE TO STAGNANT AIR! IT'S OPERATION IS INSANE!

I urge those who dismiss this to read all the links and find where the reasoning is wrong instead of a simple dismissal.

6. Exactly. The Clintons can't run from millions of lost jobs.
