NBC: Ohio Gov. Kasich predicts Romney is winning Ohio: “first time I can say that”

Ohio's Republican governor said Sunday that private polls show Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney beating President Barack Obama in the all-important battleground state of Ohio just as auto industry politics assume a dominant role in the closing days of the campaign.


Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) predicted outright that Romney would win Ohio on "Meet the Press" and, with it, the presidential election — a overall contest which Kasich said wouldn't be that close.


The governor's show of confidence comes after a week in which Obama and Romney — along with their respective running mates — barnstormed the Buckeye State in hopes of securing the state's 18 electoral votes, which would greatly enhance either candidate's hopes of winning the presidential election.
A Cincinnati Enquirer/Ohio News poll released Sunday and conducted Oct. 18-23 showed the two candidates tied at 49 percent apiece among likely voters in the state.

The Romney campaign circulated on Sunday several newspaper endorsements — the Des Moines Register and the Cincinnati Enquirer among them — to argue that the Republican ticket had made inroads in crucial swing states.

    The Obama propaganda machine has the left believing he is winning the whole country, these people are so ignorant they will never see what a destructive force his administration has been to this country. Divide and conquer is the progressive agenda.

    National polling is meaningless. I expect Romney to run about 60-65% in the old south. Obama will do about the same on the West Cost and in New England. The rust belt will be very close. My biggest fear is that Obama will easily take the electoral college and Romney will edge the popular vote. That kind of regional result seems likely and isn't good for the country.

    Today's polls show Romney's lead growing and he has pulled ahead in 5 of the nine key up for grab states with virtual ties in the other 4. If the LSM ever does their job on Benghazi, you will see a Romney landslide win.

    The very reason that the Ohio economy is in better shape than most of the other northeastern states is solely due to the efforts of Governor Kasich, a REPUBLICAN governor!

    Can we outvote the fraud is the big question .
    Ohio , West Virginia , Pennsylvania , Western Md , Virgina are Coal , Energy and Rail Road country . Obama's relentless attacks on Energy has hurt these people badly .
    Obama is shutting down 20% of the Nations Electricity production , much of it in Ohio.
    Prices for Energy is skyrocketing .

    Thousands will be ‘United for Coal’: Up to 700,000 to participate in multi-state prayer chain
    Organizers report that more than 700,000 people in nine states — Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Alabama, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Wyoming — are expected to stand “United for Coal” this weekend.

    I just read that even the evil Bilderberg members have now backed Romney when in 2008 it was Obama. I guess Obama wrecked the entire planet. Even Madonna got booed at when she touted Obama. I am hoping that Obama not only gets voted out - he gets thrown in prison.

    I think that Barack is in for a surprise on November 6th. FL, NC and VA are also going GOP now. Wisconsin is leaning GOP and maybe even PA will go for Romney now. The time to kick Barack and his soical justice fools and jerks out is now.
