If it comes down to Ohio, and the issue of the war

Strangely so, Ohio is one of the few states still split on the war -- even after knowing what they know now about casualties, intelligence and the treasury that was spent:

Fifty-three percent of the registered Ohio voters surveyed say thewar is not going well – either “not too well’’ or “not at all well’’ –according to the Ohio Poll, conducted by the Institute for PolicyResearch at the University of Cincinnati. The latest survey, releasedtoday, was conducted Oct. 19-Oct. 31.

Forty-six percent say the U.S. military effort is going fairly well or very well.

And voters are nearly evenly split over the original decision to go towar: 51 percent calling it the wrong decision, 47 percent calling itthe right decision.

Absolutely stunning.  Still, Ohio voters are more likely to respect candidates on either side that stayed true to their position from the very beginning, as opposed to taking different stances based on what the public opinion polls said.  Obama, Richardson, Huckabee, McCain and Giuliani would all do well there.  The wafflers -- Hillary, Edwards, Biden, Thompson, and Romney -- not so well.
