Yup, that's right: REPUBLICANS rooting and tooting for Billary to carry Ohio.

Not surprising. Given Billary's overwhelming negatives nationally.
A USA Today poll this month showed that as many Americans had an unfavorable view of Clinton - 49 percent - as a favorable view (48 percent). The same poll showed Barack Obama's unfavorable rating at 34 percent, and his favorable rating at 58 percent. The Feb. 8-10 poll of 1,016 adults nationwide has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
There are many reasons for Clinton's high unfavorable rating - years of attacks by high-profile Republicans, her voting record in the Senate, her vote in 2002 authorizing President Bush to go to war in Iraq - but, in the end, there are many who simply don't like her.
"She acts like she is owed it," said Julia Ward Perdue, of East Walnut Hills, a long-time party Democratic activist who said she will vote for Obama. "It's arrogance, like we owe it to her to elect her president."
Amusingly, the article cited has an informal poll attached at the bottom. I clicked the "view results" button and found that 72 percent of the 1050 or so respondents who voted had chosen Obama as the candidate most capable of defeating McCain.
Is it any wonder that Ohio Republicans are smart enough to divine this simple fact when one of our QRZ Kool-Aid Kids from that same state, a man who boasts of his political acumen, can't seem to figure it out?
