It DO Mean a Thing!: Swing State Profiles – Ohio
As we push toward November 4, it's time to focus on our nation's Swing States (i.e. the ones who will pick a president for the rest of us based on whoever's negative ad they saw last.) So tough toodles, Texas. Nous sommes désolés, Massachusetts. Let’s investigate a state that matters for a change…
Ohio's Key Players
* J. Kenneth Blackwell: Like Obama, this Republican former-Ohio Secretary of State is the highest-profile African-American in his party.
* The ghost of Cincinnati Reds owner and famed racist Marge Schott: Has announced plans to haunt touch screen voting machines in minority neighborhoods.
* Joe the Plumber: Even though McCain has never met this Holland, OH man, he seems ready to name him to his administration. Sound familiar?
Obama's Constituency
* Plumbers making under $250,000 per year.
* Former Edwards supporters camping out for John Mellencamp's induction into Cleveland's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
* The entire starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys, who were kindly registered by ACORN in recent weeks.
McCain's Constituency
* Plumbers making over $250,000 per year.
* U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich: Although he is a liberal Democrat, he is also so desperate for attention that he's liable to endorse McCain.
* Former Governor Bob Taft: As the owner of the lowest approval rating in American history, he will be casting his McCain ballot absentee from the island of Elba.
Predicted Winner: McCain
Local election vendor Diebold Systems, Inc. was accused of fraud in 2004 by re-routing touch screen votes to George W. Bush. This year they plan to take a much more direct route by simply dropping a voting machine on Barack Obama.

hey i live in ohio and am so happy that obama won over ohio GO OBAMA
Since is not state certified hes probably guilty of state building code violations as well as the employers who hired him.I think sum 1 sprang a leak lol.If he needs 250,000 dolars to buy a buisness. He must be buying a new Bell chopper to fly his pipes in! lol.
You know that Joe the Plumber has been contacted by the McCain campaign to appear in commercials.
Today in a speech, Senator Obama stated that he saw no reason why this can't be an "American century." Why should that remark raise a bright red flag with Americans?
Does the "Project for the New American Century" ring a bell? It should.
Senator Obama used the exact terminology of the horrible "think tank" that got us into that war in Iraq in the first place. Today he indicated that he is on board with their agenda. NOW I know for sure that he cannot be trusted. God help us if he wins. I've been unsure of where he really stands- but no more.
And you people who never use your heads are going to elect him. Excuse me while I go to the bathroom to throw up.
WAKE THE FUCK UP WILL YOU?
Kucinich is liable to endorse himself for president! Last I checked, he never dropped out of the 2004 race
