One of those initiatives was an antigerrymandering provision much like the one in CA. I wish both had passed.

The OH Republican party is a disaster. They got elected on a tax and spending cut platform, and they now act like Democrats. Sound familiar?

They seriously need the discipline of competitive elections.

Careful what you wish for.

Wayyy to go OH-HI-O.

The OH Republican party is a disaster

I don't think it's just in Ohio that they are a disaster... I think they have not lived up to their promises, cut taxes, reduced spending, improved our security, and have basically BS'd (the terrorists are out to get us...) their way through the last few elections everywhere. They forget that have to play with everyone in the sandbox to get things done. I think many election results will resemble Virginia and New Jersey in the near future.

I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY CITY WAS GONE
THERE WAS NO TRAIN STATION
THERE WAS NO DOWNTOWN
SOUTH HOWARD HAD DISAPPEARED
ALL MY FAVORITE PLACES
MY CITY HAD BEEN PULLED DOWN
REDUCED TO PARKING SPACES
A, O, WAY TO GO OHIO


WELL I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY FAMILY WAS GONE
I STOOD ON THE BACK PORCH
THERE WAS NOBODY HOME
I WAS STUNNED AND AMAZED
MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
SLOWLY SWIRLED PAST
LIKE THE WIND THROUGH THE TREES
A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO


I WENT BACK TO OHIO
BUT MY PRETTY COUNTRYSIDE
HAD BEEN PAVED DOWN THE MIDDLE
BY A GOVERNMENT THAT HAD NO PRIDE
THE FARMS OF OHIO
HAD BEEN REPLACED BY SHOPPING MALLS
AND MUZAK FILLED THE AIR
FROM SENECA TO CUYAHOGA FALLS
SAID, A, O, OH WAY TO GO OHIO
