Confirmed: Illegal aliens voted in Ohio 2012 presidential election

Ohio actually has a voter photo id requirement. can you imagine how often this happens in democratic states where there is no photo id law?

Via Fox News:

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced Wednesday that his office found 17 non-citizens illegally cast ballots in the 2012 presidential election — and has referred the case for possible prosecution.
The alleged crime would be a notable case of voter fraud in a key swing state. By law, only American citizens are allowed the privilege of casting ballots for the nation’s leaders.
Ohio officials say that did not stop some from getting around the system.
“I have a responsibility to uphold election law, and under both federal and state law you must be a citizen to vote,” said Husted, a Republican who has aggressively tried to investigate voter fraud cases in his state.
Husted also found that 274 non-citizens remain on the voting rolls.
President Obama beat Mitt Romney in Ohio by just 2 percentage points in November 2012.

Suffolk University survey: Romney, Obama tied in Ohio

Giddy up!

Via FOX News:

Mitt Romney has erased President Obama’s lead in Ohio, according to a Suffolk University survey, which shows the swing-state race tied at 47 percent.

The poll of likely voters, released Monday, also found the Republican presidential nominee leading Obama, 49 percent to 44 percent, among those planning to vote on Election Day, while Obama led, 48 percent to 44 percent, among those planning to vote before Nov. 6. Obama led, 54 percent to 41 percent, among those who said they had already voted, the survey found.

“Barack Obama has banked an early lead, but Mitt Romney should even the score with his slight edge among likely voters who plan to cast ballots on Election Day,” said David Paleologos, director of the school’s Political Research Center, in Boston. “However, failure to turn out his voters on Nov. 6 could be costly for Romney.”

Democrat Leaning Public Policy Polling Finds Romney Within One-Point Of Obama In Ohio

Ohio seems to be shaping up for Mitt Romney. I can't wait to see the party affiliation breakdown. Most polls are still oversampling Democrats. Mitt Romney can still win if he loses Ohio, but it would be a challenge. Romney looks good to win the swing states of Florida, Virginia and Colorado. Romney would need to win Hew Hampshire(likely) and Wisconsin. or Both Nevada and Iowa. Iowa looks likely to me. On the other hand, I can't see a path to victory for Obama if he loses Iowa. He would have to win all the win all the northers, Midwestern and western swing states to win or pick off Virginia.

Ohio Grandma to Paul Ryan: "Good luck! Kick ass!"

Ohio seniors voiced confidence in Paul Ryan and his determination to save Medicare. On the other hand, Michelle Obama's head may explode when see sees what Ryan had for lunch.

Via The Weekly Standard:

Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan stopped by the Original Hot Dog Shoppe here this afternoon to chat with voters and grab some lunch. The Wisconsin congressman and fitness nut chowed down on two hot dogs with onion, extra kraut and mustard, a side of small chili-cheese fries, and an unsweetened iced tea. The total bill came to $8.78, including a chili-cheese dog Ryan purchased for a reporter celebrating his twenty-seventh birthday.

"Hey Paul!" yelled an elderly woman while Ryan was placing his order with the cashier. "Good luck! Kick ass!"

The well-wisher, Erma from Howland, Ohio, told me later that she's not worried that Ryan and Romney would end Medicare. "I don't believe it," she said. "Because Obama has a bigger plan to rob Medicare of $617 billion."[...]

"He's going to save Medicare," chimed in Eleanor's friend Karen Combs from Cortland, Ohio. 

Mitt Romney’s campaign called Obama campaign’s actions “despicable” and “offensive” for lawsuit suppressing military vote

Ohio is a crucial state to both campaigns, but whoever at the Obama campaign thought filing a lawsuit to suppress the military vote in Ohio was a good idea is a complete idiot.

Via Breitbart News:

Breitbart News broke the story that the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee were suing Ohio’s Attorney General and Secretary of State to prevent military voters from being granted three extra days of early voting. The Obama campaign argued it was unconstitutional and arbitrary for Ohio to grant special privileged to military voters. This was not the first time Democrats targeted military voters.

On Sunday, Mitt Romney’s campaign called Obama campaign’s actions “despicable” and “offensive.”

“We disagree with the basic premise that it is ‘arbitrary’ and unconstitutional to give three extra days of in-person early voting to military voters and their families, and believe it is a dangerous and offensive argument for President Obama and the DNC to make,” Romney’s General Council Katie Biber said in a statement. “It is not only constitutional, but commendable that the Ohio legislature granted military voters and their families this accommodation.

Stupid: Obama going to Ohio to campaign; landing at Air Force Base he plans to close...

Over 800 jobs will be lost in Ohio when the base closes. You just can't fix stupid...

Air Force One will touch down in a swirl of defense controversy in Mansfield, Ohio, Wednesday as President Obama makes a third campaign trip in four weeks to the battleground state.

“If President Obama has his way, his Air Force One arrival would be one of the final flights into Mansfield-Lahm Airport,” claims Sen. Rob Portman, who is often a surrogate campaigner in Ohio for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

The Mansfield News Journal has run a series of stories and editorials expressing local worries that the air mission of the 179th Airlift Wing of the Ohio Air National Guard will end if proposed Pentagon budget cuts close it down. The local paper quotes Vice Commander Col. Michael Howard as saying he will park the wing’s C-27J aircraft on the tarmac in full view of Air Force One to make a point to the visiting president. The 179th has four of the planes, two currently deployed in Afghanistan.

Ohio is the next 'last important primary'

If you remember when "Michigan is it.", "Florida is the end of the road.", and "South Carolina will decide it all" you'll love 'Super Tuesday: GOP looks for an Ohio finale.'

Via Politico:

Super Tuesday might be the end of the line.

Not officially, of course, but after Mitt Romney’s squeaker win in Michigan and polls showing him gaining ground in Ohio, high-profile Republicans are beginning to call for the curtain to fall on the brutal and brutish presidential primary.

After watching with nervousness as Rick Santorum rattled Romney in the Midwest, many Republicans now see little chance for the insurgent former senator to stop Romney if he loses Ohio Tuesday. And from Romney boosters to neutral party officials, those Republicans are eying a moment for the seesawing race to come to a close after March 6.

Leonard Curry, the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, a state that will play an important role in the general election, told POLITICO, “I’d like it to wrap up just from a purely practical standpoint, which is financial resources. We’re spending money and the Obama team is not.”

“I think Republicans are getting tired of the process,” New York Rep. Peter King, who hasn’t endorsed a candidate but has defended Romney from Newt Gingrich attacks in the past, told POLITICO. “It’s just constant repetition.”

I think Republicans are unhappy with the candidates.

Ohio Demo Chairman calls Tea Partiers "f–kers"

Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern obviously went to the Joe Biden school of public speaking.

From FOX News:

“If your kids are going to graduate from college, now he or she gets health care, your heath care, while he or she looks for a new job,” Redfern reportedly said. “It’s in the very base terms we win these arguments. Every time one of these f–kers says, excuse my language …”

Obama "Putting America to Work" Visit Causes One Day Layoff For Hundreds (video)

President Obama went to Ohio Friday to celebrate his “10,000th stimulus project.” Hundreds of construction workers weren't celebrating. They had to take unpaid leave for the day.

FOX News reported:

President Obama went to the groundbreaking of a road project in Columbus, Ohio, Friday to show that his massive stimulus package is still churning out jobs — a “good news” story that was anything but for some construction workers who were trying to figure out how to make up for the payday they lost due to the president’s visit.

The workers were told not to report to their construction project at a nearby hospital Friday, because the Secret Service was shutting it down for security reasons. They also were told that they would not get paid for the forced day off.
