Tagged: Mitt Romney

Ohio, you may make history on the night of Nov. 6.

You may elect a new president without giving him your 18 electoral votes.

Consider this rather remarkable truism of American political history:

No Republican presidential candidate – going all the way back to the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln in 1860 – has won the White House without winning Ohio.

Mitt Romney could be the first.

This is not to say he will lose Ohio; he may, in fact, win the Buckeye State.

First Lady Michelle Obama will hold Ohio campaign events Monday in Delaware and Cleveland Monday, two days after Mitt Romney makes stops in Lebanon and Portsmouth.

The First Lady will hold a noon hour rally Monday at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware and a 5 p.m. event at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland - both rallies aimed at encouraging college students to vote early and encourage their friends to do so.

But, first, Romney will be campaigning in Ohio Saturday.
