    I grew up in Ohio, no longer live there but get back fairly often and talk to friends there regularly. Two and a half weeks ago I was in the Dayton area and was surprised at the amount of Kerry lawn signs in the traditional suburbs such as Kettering and Centerville. The democrats that I talked to were motivated like you wouldn’t believe. Ohio breaks roughly like this:
    Demo stronghold —-Northeastern OH–Cleveland Akron Canton, Youngstown.
    Tossup—Dayton, Springfield area, and Toledo.
    Gop stronghold—–Cincinnati, Columbus.
    Rural areas generally GOP although the appalachian southeast can give a lot of dem votes.
