LOL, that is what we say here about OH.
OH is the CA of the midwest,.
Why I do not know as I would have thought OH would be more conservative but I guess that OH has a few big cities and that is where the loons get their support.
CA I believe is very conservative on the east part of the state but it’s the big cities and the coast which have been infested by the locusts.
There is nothing to compare with SanFrancisco, SanDiego or LA. Our "big" city is now Columbus, less than a million people. Cleveland is now below 400,000. Akron, Cincinnati, and Toledo also have lost population steadily.
With the dispersion of the remaining population to smaller cities and towns the quality of life is improving for most of us pretty rapidly. There is no exodus of businesses since Kasich won the statehouse. Jobs are moving in, especially in healthcare.
If you want to gripe about Ohio for some obscure personal reason, fine, but California, it ain't.
