Ohio is a critical state in a Presidential election, since it acts as a reliable bellwether for those elections for the Republican candidate. No Republican has ever won the Presidency without the state of Ohio, and only James G. Blaine (1884), Thomas Dewey (1944), and Richard Nixon (1960 were Republicans who won Ohio but lost the Presidency.
