What's kind of funny is despite winning the state Obama didn't do well in the bellwether portions of Ohio itself. Which kind of shows why using bellwethers to guess things is a folly.

That's not really true outside of the Southeast. Obama won almost all of the other bellweather parts of the state: Lake, Stark, Montgomery, Ottawa, and Hamilton Counties. The only remotely swingy county outside of the Southeast he lost was Clark, which is a bit of a stretch to call a bellweather anymore.
