EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio
The landscape along the old Lincoln Highway to this "pottery capital" maintains mountain vistas as the Ohio River curls through Columbiana County's hills and hollows.

They're not democrats anymore either.

Oh, puh-leeze. Anybody who couldn't see exactly what and who Obama is during his campaign, shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a ballot. What do they think their party has been doing for the last 30 years, for that matter?
If they are truly in favor of smarter, more responsible, accountable government than they have seen from the Obama administration, then they'd best get SMALLER GOVERNMENT into their heads.
