[quote name='galvatron2k1']Living in Ohio, you should know how this shit is going down. I'm from Cleveland and the media is already starting the racism's out there stuff (like we didn't know). Here's a link -

Huh. Care to find the article? Now the cover's "Battle of the Goddamned Losers: Who's Going to Be Slightly Less Pathetic and Walk Away 1-3 and Who's Going to Paper Bag Their Head Through December By Going 0-4," more affectionately known elsewhere as Browns-Bengals.
I worked in Cincinnati (lived right across the river in the KY) for most of my life, but in the case of the last two elections, I remember seeing how long the lines were in Avondale, in Clifton, in the West End - predominantly black communities.
I remember the exploitation of Fred Shuttlesworth, and his legacy, to convince blacks to vote against the Democrats by using Gay Marriage to divide a group whose history is defined by struggle, exclusion and ostracism, but a group who is also exceptionally religious.
I remember the dubious choice of Ken Blackwell to serve as secretary of state and simultaneously George Bush's campaign coordinator in Ohio in 2004. I remember the controversy of him rejecting thousands of voter registration forms for failing to be on the proper card stock.
I remember, finally, the cynicism of voters caught up to him, as he failed to be elected for governor in 2006. And now we have Democrat Ted Strickland, who has CUT (CUT! CUT! CUT!) hundreds of millions in state spending during his tenure. Now, given the federal economy, the reduction of funds to states, and the reduced financial involvement of the fed in education, it was kinda necessary.
Having all that history via observation, I'm pretty thankful I'm living in SE Ohio and finally registered to vote in this

ing state. Now I can be the agent of change that I wasn't in KY.
