There has been definite movement towards Obama in Ohio over the last week or so.

I'm really starting to like these numbers.

I would like to see Obama at 51%, but hey, a lead is a lead.

It appears that Ohio is ready to push aside it's tribal tendencies.

I thought all along in the end Ohio would move over to Obama in the end.  You knew they were going to vote on economics.....especially Ohio.

What's probably happening is the racists finally deciding they'll have to bite the bullet to secure their economic survival.

You hacks are amazing.  One poll from a lousy firm and Obama has Ohio in the bag.  Yet, if someone merely suggests that there is some tightening in the race given the moves in Gallup, Zogby, Tipp, and others, they are smacked down.
