And there are two really important issues on that ballot.  One is Issue 2; the other is Issue 3.  Issue 2 would replicate what happened in Wisconsin vis-a-vis state employees, unionized state employees: Take away some collective bargaining rights. It would require them to make modest contributions to their own pension plans, like you and I do.  We have to contribute to our own 401(k)s. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_55699\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush-Obamacare.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Now, the news out of Ohio is that the unions are gonna win this one slam dunk, big time.  But apparently that is not true.  &#8220;An internal memo from a key labor-backed group in the state is flatly warning that the polls are &#8216;flawed\u2019 and that a big win for labor is not even &#8216;remotely possible.\u2019 It adds that the [conservative] messaging has &#8216;worked,\u2019 and that there\u2019s good reason to suspect that a &#8216;massive amount of voter confusion remains,\u2019 suggesting the fight could still go either way.&#8221; Now, they\u2019re trying to say that the union is gonna win this thing in a slam dunk and it\u2019s not.  &#8220;[A] big win for labor is not even &#8216;remotely possible.'&#8221;  It\u2019s close.  It\u2019s crucial.  Issue 3 on the Ohio ballot on November 8th is also crucial.  Very important. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>That ballot basically states that Ohioans will opt out of any federal mandate to buy health insurance.  And that is key.  That has to pass.  That will send a message to the United States Supreme Court, it\u2019ll send a message to a lot of people.  If that goes down&#8230; Let\u2019s put it this way: If the state of Ohio does not opt out of the federal mandate, I can guarantee you what the news is gonna be.  The news is gonna be, &#8220;Here\u2019s a swing state, very important to the presidential race, could go either way, and those people want Obamacare.&#8221;  That\u2019s what\u2019s at stake with Issue 3.  If the people of Ohio do not pass Issue 3 and reject and exempt themselves from the Obamacare mandate, then, &#8220;Katie, bar the door.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t gonna be pretty, and it could very well have influence on the Supreme Court ruling.  The regime is asking for a very fast ruling on Obamacare, and ?  They pay attention to election results, and if there\u2019s a swing vote in the Supreme Court, and that justice happens to see that people in Ohio had a chance to reject the mandate, had a chance to exempt themselves from Obamacare, and they didn\u2019t? It could be the end of the line. It\u2019s something to keep in mind.  We\u2019ll keep you posted.  This is still a couple of weeks away.  Well, less than two weeks away.  It\u2019s a week from Tuesday.  But Issue 2, Issue 3 in Ohio are very important. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Ohio and its election on November 8.
