Yes, Ohio is a vital state for winning the presidency. I believe that no Republican has ever won the White House without winning Ohio. However, Ohio's influence is waining. They lost an electoral vote after the last census and will probably lose another after 2010. As the southern and western states dramatically increase in population, Ohio will become less important, but for no it is certainly a golden goose for the key to the White House.
