Coal can win Ohio for Romney


.
Map of a GOP path to victory without Ohio involves
adding Wisconsin to Romney's column.


Everyone is watching Ohio
  • Wisconsin is a harder alternate path to victory.


Ohio, Ohio, Ohio.  Those of us who do not live there are sick of hearing how important they are in electing a President.

Granted Ohio is a tough nut to crack for both parties.  But if the election is tight, there is a non-Ohio path to victory for Romney.

That path centers on Paul Ryan pulling Wisconsin into the GOP column.  The problem with Wisconsin is the last time the state voted Republican for President was in 1984.  Plus Ryan has never won a statewide election.  He has no proven voter appeal outside of his Congressional District.

Coal.

With Wisconsin up in the air, the mining of coal in Ohio could be the key to victory.  The Romney campaign is going all out in Ohio's coal country.


Comrade Obama's anti-coal, anti-jobs policies are driving unionized workers into
the arms of the Republican Party.


Comrade Obama's War on Coal Miners











Deep in the heart of Ohio coal country, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are on a campaign bus tour that hits Comrade Obama for environmental policies they say are responsible for shuttering coal-fired power plants and the mines that feed them.

It's a message that could resonate in Ohio and other coal-producing states. In a regional 30-second television ad aired last week called the "War on Coal," one coal worker says "Obama is ruining the coal industry."

Another in a hard hat says White House policies are "attacking the coal industry." The ad features Romney telling ranks of miners, "We have 250 years of coal; why wouldn't we use it?"
