It goes on and on, even in typical Republican subarbs.

thanks for posting. News out of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Ohio is pretty damn good. We also might pull it off in Mississippi Governor. If we do, I think Dems have bragging rights tomorrow becuz we are doing well in many local and legislative races.

Then on to Louisiana!!

This was basically the biggest asskicking the Summit County Republican Party has EVER received. They lost city races, subarb races, statewide issues, judge races, everything. We kicked their asses BIGTIME.

That is just incredible! Were any of the positions held by Republicans before?

In the city of Akron, they lost all but one. A judge race. The important thing is that they lost pretty terribly in a bunch of the suburbs, which hadn't been happening before. Basically, we have them on the run.

I know it took a lot of hard work.

He was pretty tight with the Bush machine, too. This is great news. The word on these hypocrites must have gotten through to the public.

Which is why they're doing so well here.

/sarcasm

I thought the GOP owned Ohio. Is it starting to look like Dems are placing it back in play?

We just need credible statewide candidates. Every single semi-large city in Ohio is Democratically controlled (Including Cleveland, Colombus, Toledo, Youngstown, Dayton, Cincinnati, Marietta, Akron, etc. etc.)

We just need polished candidates for the statewide races. Oh yeah, money would help.

Kentucky's right across the river from Cincinnati, and we're awfully bitter about losing the gubernatorial there. :-(

I'm very pleased that we Buckeye voters defeated Issue 1, though! Surprised, too... but it's good news. :-)

I think it's a very good sign that Ohio voters have had enough of Republican shadow language. I would have NEVER expected it to lose. An odd thing, my county actually voted OVERWHELMINGLY FOR IT. Basically, Taft carried the Dem areas on 1, but lost his own base. Bizarre.

:bounce:

Bodes well for the midwestern vote.
