I live in the central Ohio area and, despite living in a hugely republican suburb near the University, the number of Obama signs vastly outnumber the McPalin signs. And I agree with the poster above who said something weird went on in the primaries in Cleveland. The African American turnout there was suspiciously low for Obama, and I have to wonder if the late Stephanie Tubbs Jones, and her rabid (bless her soul) support of HRC did have an effect?

Cincinnati, traditionally an ultra conservative town, could go McCain?

But Southern Ohio could very easily be turned around with some campaigning by Strickland, and you're right, Al, he's been far too quiet in his support of Obama. I'm really disappointed in him as he could at least neutralize the Southern Ohio vote, if not turn it to blue with a bit of "vouching for" Obama the way Joe Biden is.

Another disappointing Governor has been Ed Rendell in PA, who swore he was going to work as hard for Obama as he did for Hillary after the primary. Barely heard a peep out of him either, and given Youngstown, OH's proximity to Pittsburgh (and it's media market), he should have some influence on that vote as well.
