Most political pundits agree that Romney’s path to the presidency mandates a win in Ohio. Time has just released a new poll that shows two important things: (1) early voting in Ohio indicates a STRONG preference for Obama, 60%-30%, and (2) among all likely voters Obama leads Romney by a 5% margin, 49% to 45% . We won’t rest until all the votes are cast on Nov. 6th, but this is definitely a good sign for those of us supporting the President.

Since GOP/TPers believe in an “activist” God whose “Will” they seem to know a lot about, I’d like God to surprise them with a strong Democratic win across the swing states. Please, God.

Great post, Malia!
I’ve been reading up on how the predictions aren’t doing a good job capturing the Latino vote. Considering Latinos (generally, of course) skew towards Obama, his lead is presumably even greater than we think.

See, especially, the article on pollsters missing the Latino vote.

jk,
Yes, I agree, and think that the early voting numbers seem to tell a really amazing story!

I’m not counting my eggs until they hatch on November 6. Romney and his bandits own Hart Intercivic, which own and run the voting/counting machines in Ohio and Colorado.

James,
I read about that, so we will wait and see.

I was born, raised, and have always lived in Ohio. My dad worked for the GM plant in Parma for 30 years. Eight in ten jobs in the state are connected to the auto industry. President Obama did the right thing and saved many jobs; he saved Ohio!
Romney is a liar; he is a SOCIOPATH. Unless you are white, male, and wealthy-why on EARTH would you vote for Romney who is nothing but a puppet for the Koch brothers? (PLEASE watch the Brave New Foundation film/dvd-”Koch Brothers Exposed-the 1% At It’s Very Worst”; talk about PURE EVIL…)
I have seen the President twice and was lucky enough to shake his hand five times; I know a good, hard working, caring person when I see one!
OBAMA 2012! God Bless America!
Thank you Malia-keep up the great work and the good fight!

Laura,
It’s great to hear from an Obama supporter in Ohio. I am jealous that you’ve shaken his hand! I worked in Ohio in 08 and did what I could to help the campaign, but I’m limited in what I can do now because of my MS, but I’m so glad that people like you in Ohio are paying attention!

Malia,
you say you are limited in what you can do now but you do so, so much and thank you for that. Just wanted to let you know I drove 12 hours with my puppy my daughter and her daughter ( nine years old) Who my mother has not seen in in three years. we agreed to surprise her for her 87th birthday. She is a southern redneck from Arkansas. Every birthday call she got after that she would say was ” the only thing thing that could have made my birthday better would have been a call from President Obama.
Thank you for what you do.

mhrt,
When I hear stories about senior citizens who support the President, it gives me real hope that America will one day recover from the multiple challenges facing our country! Thank you for sharing!

Now 49% to 45% is a 5 point margin? And no one noticed it? Another place where re-reading what you’ve typed would be a benefit. This kind of error is misleading, at best.

Hopefully we don’t run into a Bush v Gore-esque controversy in end given some concerns over the voting machines that’s been prevelant in the news the last couple of days.

And then there’s other voting machine problems in other swing states.

Mashed Potato Bulletin,
Romney is desperately trying to find a way to getto the White House. I think the only way he could get to the inaugural ball is to serve the food.
