F*ck you, Ohio,’ for hogging presidential race

[Playinghardball]

Satirist Andy Cobb has a message to the one state that seems to suck the most time and attention during presidential races: ‘Fuck you, Ohio.”

“Many things divide Americans, but we can unite behind a common enemy — a force making us irrational, weak and stupid,” Cobb says in a satirical Second City Network video published on Monday. “We must come together to destroy it before it destroys us. Fuck you, Ohio.”

“I lived in Ohio for years,” he explains. “It’s not all monsters, but mostly. And now they rule us all. Candidates have to win Ohio to be president so they are the only people who matter, as opposed to, say, you. And many of them, clearly, are fucking idiots.”

For example, Cobb notes that vying for Ohio means that candidates feel the need to promote “clean coal” technologies, “something the rest of the country knows is bullshit.”

1. Na na nana na!

On the other hand we have to endure non-stop campaign ads, phone calls and people knocking on our doors.

It is relentless in this state and promises to only get worse before the thing is finished.

2. Exactly....

I live in FL so I can sympathize. The problem is the Electoral College of course..but I'm not sure it would be wise to get rid of it. I've heard people say that it gives too much power to small states, but that doesn't appear to be the case to me. However, it has definitely changed the way campaigns are run.

4. Don't trust any poll favorable to Obama in

Ohio. I think the vote for Romney will be much higher than anyone thinks, the Anti-Obama people are extremly motivated. I just don't see the motovation for
Obama. I hope I am totally wrong and it just where I live Ohio that has me down. What are the chances of winning without Ohio?
