Democrats will turn Ohio to a one party state

[PeroW-Cheney]

There is a definition for "major", "minor" and "third" parties. The last Ohio election that showed signs of life for this was 1996.
Dole 47%
Clinton 41%
Perot 9%
The Reform Party earned Minor Party status in this election.
Democrats came one percent above Minor Party status in this election.

This leads me to the question: What if Hillary cannot get more votes than Bill did in 1996? I mean, why would somebody vote for Hillary if they didn't vote for Bill? What makes Hillary a better candidate than Bill was?

1996 votes : 4534434
2004 votes : 5628011

In these terms, Hillary needs 448551 MORE VOTES THAN BILL just to match Bill's strength in Ohio. Bill's strength gets Democrats no electoral votes, does it?
I think Hillary 2008 is a dangerous risk for Democrats in Ohio. It is easier for Ohio's independent voters to join the Republicans and reduce the Democrats to a minor party than it is for us to rebuild our own minor party status from 1996. If Hillary cannot beat Bill's voter turnout, Democrats will have elected officials in office but Ohio will begin the following election cycle as a one party system.

Democrats should have left Nader alone. The upcoming decision for Ohio's independents is NOT who to vote for in November 2008. The choices are to ask for a Democrat ballot in the primary, ask for a Republican ballot in the primary, or turn in our signatures before the primary.
