they cannot fix the mess that is Ohio voting. I would much rather have a candidate who can win without Ohio than one who really needs Ohio. Anyone on either side depending on an outcome from Ohio is sort of f*cked.

We kind of took all of that for granted. Then Bob Taft ran a smear campaign against Brown and unseated him. The office hasn't been the same since.
