More interesting turnout stats
Despite an army of 70 field offices, 600 paid staffers, and millions of dollars in paid media, Barack Obama received nearly seven percent fewer votes in Ohio than George W. Bush in 2004, and he even underperformed John Kerry. In fact, Sen. Obama received fewer votes statewide this year than Justice Maureen O'Connor, who carried all 88 counties with one fulltime campaign staffer.
