(95,070 posts)...as Governor (twice elected), it'll be easy for people in Ohio to say they'll vote for him; I suspect the polls will change when he's gone through the Tea Party nominating process.

None of this crap would be happening like it is now.
The pot boils. Water always finds its level. Jokes are funny; until nobody gets them.
Carry on.

How did that work out?

(4,229 posts)Hillary has been closed mouth on trade herself but NAFTA really screwed OH. Then she's also associated with the Clinton administration and their gun control.
So it's no wonder they are edging her out. When dems fail to do stuff to help the working people then they vote on stuff like guns, abortion and racisim.

(54,527 posts)You might as well publish a poll saying Hillary leads Toonces by 85% to 10% with 5% undecided.
Sanders will get well over a 21% favorable rating if people hear what he says and not what Fox Noise says about him. O'Malley, too.
This kind of thing is what bored pundits do when there's no film showing that they want to see.

(16,994 posts)I don't have a breakdown at the moment of how Ohio voters as a group are divided in terms of party affiliation, but most national polls I have seen in recent years suggest self-declared Republicans and conservatives don't make up that large a share of the electorate. You'd never know if from media coverage, especially interviews and panel discussions.
