Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney speaks in Portsmouth, Ohio. Winning Ohio is complicated, with its variety of voter groups and swinging trends. Diverse in geography, economy and demographics, Ohio is a state that one political scientist says offers a fairly close mirror of the nation. History and electoral math say the swing state is pivotal again this year, and probably crucial for Mitt Romney to win. President Barack Obama is trying to repeat his 2008 victory.
Ohio key to election, mirrors countrv
Diverse in geography and economy, Ohio is a Midwestern state with sections that act politically more like states in the East and the South. It has voter pools that include gritty, blue-collar manufacturing towns, teeming inner cities, sprawling college campuses,

History and electoral math say Ohio and its 18 electoral votes are
"Taken together, it is a fairly close mirror of the country — demographically, economically, socially," said Gene Beaupre, a political scientist at Xavier University. "I think that's one reason it has accumulated a history of being important."
pivotal again this year, and probably crucial for Republican Mitt Romney. No Republican has been elected president without carrying Ohio; John F. Kennedy in 1960 was the last Democrat to win without Ohio. And presidential races in Ohio usually are very close, adding to the campaign intensity.
How close?
Over the last three presidential elections combined, with some
16 million votes cast, the difference between the two sides comes down to a total 21,396 votes more for the Republican candidates. George W. Bush won two of those elections, including clinching his re-election in 2004 by the equivalent of about 1 percent of Ohio's population. Bill Clinton's winning margin over Bush's father in 1992 was even tighter.

KENNEBUNK, Maine — Police on Monday released the first round of names of more than 100 men accused of paying for sex with a Zumba instructor who's charged with turning her dance studio into a brothel in this seaside community.
The release of 21 names followed 11th-hour legal wrangling, and some residents watched the news flash on their local evening TV news.
Kim Ackley, a local real estate agent, said that disclosure of the names will cause temporary pain for families but it's only fair because others who are accused of embarrassing crimes don't get breaks.
