In Ohio, election now comes down to voter turnout efforts.(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
Byline: Philip Dine
COLUMBUS, Ohio _ Put aside the polls and pundits, the issues and even the undecided voters.
The presidential race is now about one thing and one thing only: turnout.
"At this stage, we're down to blocking and tackling," Jason Mauk, chief spokesman for the Ohio Republican Party, said Sunday. "You're running the plays and you've got to execute. It's basic hard work _ there's no flair. It's grabbing people one person at a time, maybe two or three in a household and making sure they get to the polls.
"Whoever has a more effective get-out-the-vote effort is going to take Ohio."
That was reinforced by a poll in Sunday's Columbus Dispatch showing both candidates at 50 percent, separated by a mere eight voters among 2,880 polled. Sen. John Kerry, benefiting from a surge in recent weeks, led President Bush in what the newspaper called its tightest margin ever in a final poll.
Over the past few days in battleground states around the country, both sides have shifted their focus to getting supporters to the polls.
