I used to live in Dublin, which was reliably Republican. Even Ohio State in the mid-80's was balanced and Columbus had a popular Republican Mayor. Also lived in Bexley and then Fairfield Cty (Pickerington), which is Pubbie territory.

In my neighborhood (Dublin) the yard signs were mostly B-C, with a few K-E sprinkled here and there. Once you got down around Henderson Rd. and into Arlington the ratio changed. The OSU area is solid K-E territory, sorry to say.

Things have changed. Greg Lashutka was the last Republican mayor, coming in after Rinehart and Moody. The local Republican party couldn't even field a candidate to challenge Michael Coleman the last time around. Having met and talked with him my impression is that Mike's a good guy personally, from what I've seen and heard, a family man, honest, has some measure of integrity, is a man of faith. But he's just uber-liberal on all issues, so I can't support him politically.
