Ted, those are eye-popping OH numbers coming from a D leaning outfit...Something else is at work here....IMO. What could it be? First, PPP is a robo caller so it can't call cell phones and tries to compensate. That compensation is not necessarily scientific. Consequently PPP has been fairly erratic this election cycle. After the first debate, PPP had Obama up 5 in OH. Secondly, I think a lot of Obama support in OH was soft. Remember..........OH went for Bush both in 2004 and 2000. Once Romney began to look more respectable that support peeled away. Thirdly, I think American voters will tell pollsters what they think is the right thing to say early on but as they get closer to the election they get more honest. Plus southern OH is fairly conservative and can be racist. I had a frat. brother from S.OH who hated all minorities vehemently. It was the first time I had confronted such strong and open racism. He would not let anyone of color into the frat.........all it took is one blackball and his was the one that did it every time. He was the primary reason I deactivated. From what I understand, there are pockets of people like that in S OH..........around Cincy.

Democrats massacre Republicans on first day of early voting in urban areas Submitted by jon.ralston on Sat, 10/20/2012 - 22:22 UPDATE: Democrats also decisively defeated Republicans in first round of absentee ballots, usually a GOP strength, posted in Clark County: 8,976-7,448, or 46-38. So raw number in Clark so far: Dems, 27,364-17,036. That's 52-32, or 5 points above the registration edge. So: After one day -- remember it's only one day! -- using absentees and early votes in Clark and early votes in Washoe (don't have absentees yet), the Democrats have an 11,000-vote lead statewide. Let's see where we go from here. The gap will close. By how much is the big question. The early-vote numbers show a 26 percent edge in Clark County and 10 percent in Washoe County. That's about a 10,000-vote lead in Washoe and Clark combined. The Clark numbers: 55-29, or 18,388-9,588 (Actual registration: 46-31) The Washoe numbers: 48-38, or 4,604-3,619 (Actual registration: 38-38) Yes, it's only one day. But if it continues like this, Nov. 6 is going to be a very bleak day for Republicans in this state. Here is link to Clark numbers. ralstonreports.com
