Winning Ohio

I love Ohio and spent several years there in the 1960s, attending college and working, but for the first time in decades, a presidential candidate can lose Ohio and Florida and still win. The electoral map will show that Sen. Obama needs all of New England, going south to Maryland and DC/New York, PA/MI/WI/MN, of course, Illinois,--then Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, California and his place of birth, Hawaii.

Ohio is to be Respected

Ohioans are hardworking , deeply religous & patriotic Americans . They don't like freeloaders or politicians who try to take advantage of their hardship.In Texas we have great respect & a feeling of kinship for Ohio & it's people.Thanks to all for the outpouring of aid & volunteers in wake of Hurricane Ike .

Obama outspending McCain in Ohio and other 3 Big Money Bets.

Advertising Spending by State 9/28 – 10/4 :

State ............McCain - - - -Obama

Ohio ............$1,727,000 $2,218,000

Florida ........ $659,000 $2,213,000

Pennsylvania ... $1,645,000 $2,202,000

Virginia ......... $547,000 $2,057,000

These are the Four Biggest Expenditures or Obama Money Bets.

During this week 9/28 – 10/4 :

The Obama campaign has outspent the McCain campaign by a margin of over 3 to 1 in Florida, over 2 to 1 in New Hampshire, over 3 to 2 in Nevada, over 8 to 1 in North Carolina, and over 3 to 1 in Virginia.

It is very difficult to defeat Obama, if he sits in such beautiful Gold Treasure.

It would seem that every news reporting agency has the same writer or "reporter" as they all have the EXACT same tag line??
