In these last few days, the candidates are scrambling to other states - both to defend what appears hair-thin leads and to seek a win in states they are a hair thin behind in.
Did both Obama and Romney get too caught up in battling over Ohio and possibly had made a better gamble to throw their massive resources and time elsewhere or more spread about?
Slogans and history tend to take lives of their own. The words "No one has won the presidency since... without Ohio" seemed to take control. But in that past that may have meant that in a equally spread out national campaign Ohio is a middle INDICATOR and NOT THE CONTROLLING FACTOR.
What do you think? Did this all really always did boil down to Ohio? Or would it have been wiser to fixate on others states or more equally spread the effort around?
