I'm thinking of ones like Coshocton, Knox and Muskingum. A bit east of central Ohio I suppose.
Coshocton and Muskingum are possibilities but would be considered Southeast Ohio by most people. No chance at all of Knox. John McCain won it by 20 points. Obama has a better chance of winning Nebraska or Kansas.
Agree. I'd encourage people to look at the 08 Ohio trend map to see why Obama will have to
at least match--and probably surpass--his 08 numbers here to switch an ultra close county like Harrison or Hocking. The culture in that swath of eastern and southeastern counties is similar to SW PA and Appalachia, respectively. Two areas Obama has always been weak in. Muskingum County
maybe as I understand Zanesville is increasingly Dem leaning.
Seneca and Huron might be better bets, but again, he'll have to at least match 08 numbers statewide.
