GOP pollster has Obama up by 8% in Ohio

Let's face it: Obama will probably win the election, and I think the Republicans may actually be better off because of it. If the gaffe-o-matic Romney wins, we'll see the type of backlash Iceland saw a few years back. Fact is, Americans don't have the tolerance for bullshit that they had 10 or 15 years ago.

Some folks are skeptical of Obama's reelection prospects, but Republican pollster We Ask America now has the President leading by 8 percentage points in Ohio, of all places. Obama won Ohio by less than 5 points in 2008.

Maybe what this really shows is that the Bain attacks are working, since Ohio is one of few states where they've received some play. Or it could be just the lingering disgust over the Republicans' anti-worker S.B. 5, which was overpoweringly rejected in a voter referendum.

Keep in mind that no Republican has ever won a presidential election without winning Ohio, and the Buckeye State has been a bellwether since 1964.
