OHIO--Swing State No More

"Based on polling and ongoing social and political factors, I consider Ohio to be now firmly in the Bush camp. That doesn't mean that it couldn't swing back into swing state territory later, but until there is evidence that support such a swing, I don't see Kerry having much of a chance of taking Ohio. If anything, there's a greater likelyhood of Bush increasing his margins in the state from 2000.

Ohio is one of Bush's must-win states, and as the race moves from that state to the newly appointed swing state of Pennsylvania, it appears as though the Bush campaign has a very strong chance of ensuring that the Buckeye State doesn't swing towards Kerry in November."
