Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Breaking News: Romney Is Winning Ohio!!!

On a Very Serious Note:

My Most Respected and forever Bison Country/The Mecca/The Hilltop/The Real HU....You Know.... colleague Mwalimu Aluko, I have seen many elections during my many years in this good ol US of Way, but never have I seen any election quite like this one. For a man like Romney who had been dismissed by many pundits and so-called expats a long time ago to be poised to win this election leaves a lot for all of us learn about this great country, no matter the final outcome. Obama was simply wrong to believe and peddle the myth that we live in a post-racial society. The only people that have paid the price for the FOOLISHNESS are Afrikans in America, the rest of the Diaspora and the Motherland. When we get our Real "Black President," he will go to bat for us, instead of put his/her re-election interest ahead of our needs.

Prof. Bangura:

There is no doubt about it: you make this Obama/Romney contest very close on USAAfricaDialogue.....my heart races any time I read your Tea-Party-like "Breaking News"....it is like "Has Romney been announced winner?  Was the election moved forward and we Obama-ites did not know about it?"

And there you have it.

The race for Ohio's Electoral College votes remains very close, but now Mitt Romney now has a two-point advantage.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Ohio Voters shows Romney with 50% support to President Obama's 48%. One percent (1%) likes some other candidate, while another one percent (1%) remains undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Ohio remains a Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College Projections.  Based on the current projections, Romney would have to win Wisconsin if he loses Ohio in order to move into the White House.

The candidates have been locked in a very tight battle in Ohio since August. A week ago, Romney and Obama were tied in the Buckeye State with 48% support each. This is the first time Romney has taken even a modest lead in the race.

Nearly one-in-three Ohio voters (32%) have already cast their ballots. Obama leads 62% to 36% among these voters. Romney has a large lead among those who still plan to vote. The question of who wins Ohio may come down to whether enough Romney voters get to the polls on Election Day to overcome the president's lead among early voters.

Scott Rasmussen has noted that "Wisconsin May Be The New Ohio."To win the election, Romney will have to win at least one of these two battleground states.

Among all Ohio voters, Romney now has a 12-point lead over the president in voter trust – 53% to 41% - when it comes to the economy. Last week, he had just a seven-point advantage among voters in the state when they were asked which candidate they trusted more to deal with the economy.

Romney's also trusted more by eight points in the areas of job creation and energy policy but leads Obama by just two when it comes to housing issues.

National security has been an area where the president has typically had an advantage over Romney this year. But, the Republican challenger now has a 52% to 42% advantage on the issue.
