Ohio, Ohio, Ohio. I know... It's supposed to determine the election this year, right?
Wrong. At least not for the first hour after polls close on election night. Florida is still tight, and with a .5 or 1 point swing towards Obama, hopefully from undecideds after the third debate, it could be back in full toss-up mode. And with the state being on the far eastern side of the USA, we may all get to see how this election ends in the first hour or two of the night if Obama takes it.
The point is, don't give up on Florida. It dictates how the rest of the night plays out, and how important Ohio really becomes in the grand scheme of it all. And it's a critical evaluation data point on Election Day that could trickle down to states that still have their polls open to the west.
If we can win Florida, the GOP might as well just stay home.
