I’ve never been there but what is the state of the economy currently in Ohio?
It’s doing well from what I have heard, thanks to the GOP governor.
In the communist held part of Ohio I live in the economy sucks. But then again, it has for decades because democrats have a strangle hold on the area. (near Cleveland)
I have my own theory on why there are so few yard signs. People aren’t putting Romney signs in their yards because they don’t want to be viewed as racists. There are very few signs in any yards here. We also have not had the onslaught of those rats that were signing people up to vote and busing them to the polls like we had last election.
It’s all very strange.
The official “unemployment rate” is at 7.2%, putting Ohio at 20th “best” among the fifty States and doing a little better than all the surrounding States. But the mood is far from good and based on the fact that every state wide office, both houses of the legislature, the Congressional delegation, and one out of our two Senators are held by or are majority Republican I’d be very surprised in Obama takes Ohio this year.
Mostly bad, but depends on the area. Dayton has lost 5 Fortune 500 companies in abou six years; big cities such as Akron and Toledo have been slammed. But the corridor south of Dayton and north of Cincy is growing like crazy. Theis is solid red Warren Co., plus parts of Hamilton Co.
Per the relatives in the Springfield area, the economy there isn’t any better than the rest of the country. The thing is that Ohio has been leaning Left ever since the KKK came into beng and it has been the home of many a union factory (many now closed) so it’s a bit tough to break through to the sane part of the folks’ brains. From the relatives attitudes, instead of apathy towards the democrat, they are eager to vote the Repub this time. I expect there is more Dim apathy and more Repub excitement than we are aware of. I would guess Ohio goes Romney by 4-6%
