WHO WINS OHIO WINS THE PRESIDENCY

Yet again Ohio is key to another Presidential election.

Ohio is regarded as the most important of all the swing states at election time. This is not only due to demographics but also because Ohio has 18 electoral votes. History shows no republican has ever been elected President without winning Ohio- it decided the election for George W Bush in 2004, and in 2000. And this year is no exception.
