Well Bush lost Franklin County narrowly, and the Columbus exurban spillover outside that county is limited. Look it up. The Columbus area is trending Dem. Just ask CT, the iconoclastic Ohioan par excellance, and commentator of many political things regarding voting patterns, not only within his state, but beyond. The guy was there to witness it all at the creation, and the remarkable thing is that the fossil is still in an animated state. Seize the moment to savor him
