To give you a taste of Ohio politics, here is something going on in my own backyard. I posted last September about the lockout at AK Steel, a prominent area employer. In that post I showed a picture of the new Butler County Republican headquarters, which came with a $800,000 price tag and donations from […]
Cheney almost appears in pain swearing in all these new Democrats:
A post-election e-mail to executives at the drug company GlaxoSmithKline details just how tough. “We now have fewer allies in the Senate,” says the internal memo, obtained by The Washington Post. “Thus, there is greater risk over the next two years that bad amendments will be offered to pending legislation.” The company’s primary concerns are […]
We have become center stage for the election season here in Ohio. Today’s Washington Post takes a big look at the influence of the Buckeye State: Within hours of trouncing Sen.

The National Republican […]
Rasmussen is now reporting that Sherrod Brown has taken the lead from Mike DeWine for the OH-Senate race: Here we go again. For the second time in three consecutive election polls of Ohio’s competitive race for U.S. Senate, the Democratic challenger has edged ahead of the Republican incumbent. Despite the seven-point edge Senator Mike DeWine […]
