Yup, I hear that Republicans in general aren't thought well of these days in OH. But he doesn't have to be thought well of, he just has to be seen as preferable to the socialist RATS.
Two backpackers on the hiking trail come around a bend and are confronted by a huge and very hungry grizzly bear licking his chops at the lunch that just showed up.
One backpacker puts down his backpack, pulls out a pair of Nike running shoes from the backpack, takes off his hiking boots and starts putting on his running shoes.
"Don't be a fool", says the second backpacker, "you can't possibly outrun a grizzly bear. We need to come up with a better plan"
"I like this plan just fine", the first backpacker calmly replied. "I don't have to outrun the grizzly bear. I only have to outrun you."
