Lisa I was born and raised in the armpit of the nation, Youngstown ohio, little chicago. my family is still there. The economic slide began in 74 I love Ohio but GWB is not responsible for its current woes

My son in law is from Brookfield (close to Youngstown). My daughter has converted him, and he is now a die-hard Republican.

I really don't see Ohio as being in such bad shape, economically.

There are a lot of old manufacturing areas that are still hurting.

Largely because old dem die hards think somehow manufacturing will return to its glory days.
