Swing State?

So taking a look at the picture above, you all are wondering...hey GSG that is not the whole United States of America! You would be right if it wasn't an election year. Apparently the other 49 states don't matter...so much for California or even the great countr...or I mean state of Texas they are both unimportant just like most of the states in the south are. Sure they might have nice weather, beaches and great BBQ but they do not have the power to influence a presidental election like O-H-I-O We live in the best state in the land...we just also happen to have the best damn band in the land to *see Ohio State*. Anyway we live in a swing state...whats a swing state you ask. Well I googled it and here is what it says.

swing state

nounswing states, plural A marginal US state where voters are liable to swing from one political party to another, important in determining the overall result of an election   All you have to do is google "Why is Ohio so important" and BOOM you will be dropped with a crap load of information as to why the state is so important. Here is a break down of all the electoral votes for each state.   California - 55- Texas - 38 New York - 29 Florida - 29 Illinois - 20 Pennsylvania - 20 Ohio - 18- MAN a massiave 18 votes! Hey...did you guys see Michigan? Those losers up north only have 16! We are always better then them...amazing. Michigan - 16 Georgia - 16 North Carolina - 15 New Jersey - 14 Virginia - 13 Washington - 12 Massachusetts - 11 Indiana - 11 Tennessee - 11 Arizona - 11 Missouri - 10 Maryland - 10 Minnesota - 10 Wisconsin - 10 Alabama - 9 Colorado - 9 South Carolina - 9 Louisiana - 8 Kentucky - 8 Connecticut - 7 Oklahoma - 7 Oregon - 7 Iowa - 6 Arkansas - 6 Kansas - 6 Mississippi - 6 Nevada - 6 Utah - 6 Nebraska - 5 New Mexico - 5 West Virginia - 5 Hawaii - 4 Idaho - 4 Maine - 4 New Hampshire - 4 Rhode Island - 4 Alaska - 3 Delaware - 3 District Of Columbia - 3 Montana - 3 North Dakota - 3 South Dakota - 3 Vermont - 3 Wyoming - 3 So since we live in SUCH an important state...why haven't we been promised more? I mean forget all the campaign BS. I want to be bribed, SHOW ME THE MONEY! I mean our state has such power we should use it! Maybe negotiate a way to make our state bigger to get even more votes! I mean they could throw in West Virginia or Kentucky and I doubt people would even notice. Or maybe get rid of the tax on gas for just our state? It would drop it like twenty cents. I know it's asking a lot but why not use the power when we have it. Whoever wants the office of President will have to sweeten the pot for this Ohioan! This is probable the most boring post I have ever done. I mean does anyone really care about this? All I know is Obama has a small lead in Ohio and if that's the case it looks like it's four more years of ducking tough decisions and promoting change we can believe in and move forward with instead of caring about are Nation.
