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.

I got out in 2000, live over sixty miles away in southeast Ohio. No worries.
I”m not ‘there’ just within the local cincinnati viewing area, sixty miles east/southeast. Grew up there though.
You can see the news coverage at any of the local outlets, WKRC12, WLWT5, not sure what channel nine is, or Fox 19.
Cincinnati Enquirer website should have stuff on it.
All over the local news, top story each night. Not suprised the national media isn’t covering it. The CPD is stretched to the breaking point, according to its own spokesperson.
Just wait til it gets really hot this summer.
“...just imagine if there really was a Republican party!”
Well, to paraphrase Will Rodgers, “I don’t belong to an organized politcal party. I’m a Republican.”
RE: “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.”
**************
Why were the union thugs knocking on doors? What did they want????
There was a riot in Seattle proper (in the Rainier district where the diverse crowd lives) involving kids ages 13-16 one evening several years ago that never made it to the news late one Saturday night.
So many cops were involved that if you dialed 911 it was going to be a while before a cop could respond.
That is a spot on analogy. Demographics are about to crash into us. Inevitable.
Thats exactly whats happened in Cincy Five Nights In a Row.
“A democrat operation chaos?”
Exactly what I was thinking. I mean, this is CLEVELAND after all. You have to wonder who has been engineering this switch and why.
I’m at work, but made time to search out links to these lead stories about East Price Hill’s mini riots that have led EVERY newscast five nights in a row.
Cincinnati Enquirer - NOTHING
WCPO - Channel 9, NOTHING. I SAW the story on 9 last night, saw it on WKRC 12 and WLWT 5 and Fox 19 each of the other nights.
Now I know why the national media isn’t picking up on it. Its on the 11 pm newscasts each night, but not on the websites of the leading newspaper or WCPO 9.
Sheesh.
Cleveland, like MOST major cities, reeks of parasitic live-off-others inner-city types, and the Democrat machine makes sure the "proper" folks are elected (aka, those that will seize taxpayer dollars to hand out to their constituency/dependents).
In Ohio, Janet Brunner runs the SOS office, and makes sure ALL votes that are FOR Democrats are counted, as many times as necessary, to assure the outcome they want. The Senate race in Ohio for Voinovich's seat will be key for her efforts, along with over-counting of minorities in the Census, and assuring every possible hurdle can be thrown in front of Republican and Independent voters, to offset their numbers.
The inner-cities of this country are looking more and more like Beirut (see Detroit), and they are totally controlled by Democrats as the welfare populace in those cities just vote to get more handouts.
my fear too.
Wow and this is the liberal part of the state! To think what is happening in RED state Ohio..?
Maybe there is hope for Memphis!
My father grew up in the 700 block on Vine Street, in the Over-the-Rhine area in Cincy. While on a business trip last year, I drove by and tried to take a picture of the little row house he had lived in, but I was basically chased away by a bunch of thugs. The area surrounding this block was desolation row...a no man’s land. Dad had told me it had essentially become a bad area of town, but I wasn’t expecting a war zone.
I’ve been to some pretty dangerous international sights, and felt less threatened than I did on that day driving through the Over the Rhine section of Cincy.
Another one last night in the same neighborhood
Three Arrests After Price Hill Gun Battle
http://www.local12.com/news/local/story/Three-Arrests-After-Price-Hill-Gun-Battle/cEdLT1Pa-kiwfmxNtUDX5g.cspx
Three people are under arrest and police are looking for two others after a gun battle in East Price Hill Thursday night.
Officers say two groups of people, one in a car and one group on the sidewalk, exchanged gunfire around 10 p.m. at Chateau and Price. Police stopped a car a couple blocks away and arrested two men and a women. They also recovered crack cocaine they believe was tossed from the car and a gun. Police say that gun was found in front yard of a daycare on Hawthorne.
The two people on the sidewalk managed to get away. Police do not know if they were hurt.
Thanks TSgt. I saw this report, and the follow up showing two ‘gangsta’s’ displaying utter contempt for the reporters from the porch of the house that seems to be a the center of this ongoing ‘fight’ or whatever the hell it is.
INteresting to note its federally subsidized housing.
Not with the results that folks are going on about.
These folks have genuinely left the Democrats at least for now. Call this the Tea Party Effect. That is Dems, having their own little Tea Parties of one.. saying enough is enough.
The problem with this sort of statistic is that it is relative and so you have no real understanding of the meaning of the statistic. if only 10 people switched, the stat means nothing. If 10,000 people switched, then this is huge.
