Panelists talked about the 2012 presidential race, voting patterns, the latest polling results, and the closest Senate and House races. They discussed Ohio and its status as a “swing” state, discussing the ground operations of President Obama and Mitt Romney in the state, early voting, and candidate strategy. Norm Ornstein said Republicans were unlikely to win the Senate and Democrats would probably not take back the House, but that some seats could flip parties. The program included questions from audience members.
