Ohio WILL NOT switch over in 2004. Ohio is a socially conservative state - it will outweigh any job loss. Kerry can not win Ohio.
Also: I have this talk of Bush only won Ohio in 2000 because Kerry pulled his money out. Well, when that happened, Bush withdrew alot as well. It was not as if Bush was campaigning around the state every day.
Ohio has picked the winner in every Presidential Election since 1964 (it went for Tricky Dicky in 1960).
Gore actually
gave up on Ohio early on in the campaign... and Bush still didn't crack 50%
