I don't care what they could've done to help Blackwell, the Dems seem to have the intiative and all that.
Ohio isn't a strictly GOP state, nor has it been.
The only real surprise is that it hadn't happened earlier. The Ohio Dems were completely lacking in organization the last couple elections, which is why a complete moron like Taft was elected TWICE. That wasn't true this year.
That said, we did put President Bush over the top in '04. Think of what our country would be like now with Kerry as President.
For those "Republicans" who are crying about not sealing off the borders. DID YOU VOTE? Think of what the borders will like if a Dim President gets elected in '08, and get your priorities in order.
