It sounds possible. Kasick was brain-dead as Governor. GM abandoned their Lordstown factory. It seems that state pols were so out of touch they didn't even know it could happen. There hasn't been enough manufacturing to replace it. Without Kucinich, there's no one who advocates for good jobs for folks. Republicans in the state haven't delivered on the Deplorable Agenda. Instead, they're still treating the budget as candy and treats to their deep-pocket buddies. And DeWine, "our" Republican Governor? His main "accomplishment" so far has been to raise gasoline taxes to improve the roads, instead of getting corruption and bad decisions out of the process of maintaining roads.

The gerrymandered state Rep district that I live in is 2%black and 2% Hispanic. In spite of that, the hand-picked Republican choice for the sure seat was so bad and so bought and paid for that the throw-away Dem black candidate won. That should send a real strong message to 'pubs in the state. That would be that a lot of us hate the state Republican Party.

We have to take the state party apparatus from the Bush League Republicans, state by state.
They will only allow us to vote for their bought and paid for losers.
