In Latest Ohio Poll Matchups, Republicans Do Surprisingly Well

    It's not much of an exaggeration to say that as swing state Ohio goes, so goes the nation. So it's a bit of a surprise that as unpopular as the current incumbent appears to be, a new Survey USA poll shows Rudy Giuliani leading Hillary Clinton by a point (48-47) in Ohio and Fred Thompson losing to her by a point (47-48). It's also significant that John Edwards also loses to Giuliani by a point but clobbers Fred Thompson by nine points (43-52) -- which could aid his electability argument.
    The big loser is Barack Obama, who loses to Giuliani by 13 and Thompson by 8. There are beginning to be worrying signs that the Obama campaign may be headed for trouble.
