If Obama can't win a swing state with so many minorities, that he won in 2008, what's going to happen in OH, NH, WI, etc????

Obama has to win Florida, not Ohio.


Ohio is very important for Romney, but Florida is one of the keys for Obama.

There's the whole issue of voter suppression which is a real concern IMO especially when the former State GOP chairman says he was in meetings with other GOPer's where they actively discussed ways to suppress the minority vote in Florida.
