The Columbus Dispatch reports that Democrats switching to the Republican party outnumbered Republicans switching to the Democratic party by about 7-to-1 as of Tuesday in Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland. In 2008, the figures favored Democrats 5-to-1.
In Hamilton County, which includes Cincinnati, about 9 times as many Democrats have switched parties.

If this is anything other than small numbers, it is going to skew many of the polls, depending upon how they do their weighting.
Ohio’s primary in 2008 was at the height of Operation Chaos, so I would expect skewed numbers from that alone. Just not as large of a discrepancy as we are seeing.
If it is a reverse OC attack, I’ve not heard any word about those kind of efforts.
I live in Price Hill. There has been NO RIOTING. 3 shootings in two weeks two at McDonald’s and one 2 blocks from the police District 3 where a group yuffs gathered and scattered when the shot rang out so they wouldn’t have to talk to the cops.
Price Hill is a very large area of Cincy in 3 distinct neighborhoods. Lower, East, and West/Covedale. 95% is safe and sane with many conservatives like myself ready to repel any invaders.
Well, we’ve heard nothing about Cinncy in the news media, so I guess it’s one of those news stories that isn’t happening.
Read 23. No rioting.. Sheesh..
Ohio is a microcosm of what is happening in the entire county. Ohio threw out corrupt, taxing and spending Republican for DemocRATS that promised to change things. The RATS came in and spent more, taxed more and were just as corrupt. Ohio is now looking to reformers in the GOP. They are not going to just throw the lever for the GOP.
My wife is a Seton grad, both my sons are Elder grads and I drive Warsaw nearly everyday. I’ve lived on the Hill by choice since 1983, because like all westsiders my wife won’t move more than a 10 minute drive from the other members of her family. Has section 8 housing screwed up some areas, absolutely! Let’s kick out the Dreihaus clan and that will be a start. The area I live and frequent is fine.
I don’t feel threatened or fear the area.
Not to worry. McGrahamnesty will usher in some new democrats from “down south.”
Well that sounds more promising!
“Defeat 100” should be the battle cry of conservatives come Labor Day. If Nancy Pelosi’s face could move, she should be crying by 8:00 PM on election night as at least 100 Democrats get fired by their constituents. They won’t all be able to find cushy D.C. jobs after being stomped, either.
Cuyahoga? Really? Wow.
Yes most definitely WOW!!..
IIRC...that county, historically, overwhelmingly Democrat, that had 2004/2006/2008 results of 113% of voter registration.
Double WOW!!
Next it will be reported that Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Atlanta...will switch...
Well not Chicago...that would be likened to parting of the Red Sea.
Hopefully this means a new Governor and a new republican senator in 2010! I’m also hoping we get a replacement for our bluedog rep!
LOL on Chicago! I’d settle for Obama’s seat going republican like it looks like might happen.
I live here in Cuyahoga. I know there are a lot of very disillusioned democrats. Life long democrat, elderly lady, who lives next to me has realized she has more in common with “my American dream,” than she has with “her democrat party.”
We recently had the AFL-CIO thugs come through door knocking on my street. A lot of my neighbors resented their tactics of that evening.
These are all interesting discussions at present being held at the sidewalk and over the backyard fences.
wow ...just imagine if there really was a Republican party!
finally gave up waiting for him to repeal NAFTA, eh?
I’ll have to ask my county chairman about this.
Billboards across America should read: “A VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT IS A VOTE FOR OBAMA...”
I’ve been keeping tabs in my county—just this past month. So far Dems outnumber Republicans. I’m waiting to see next month’s stats. Then you have your Independents which are about the same number as the Republicans.
Democratic: 119,423
Republican: 110,640
Others: 109,651
Total: 339,714
