Ohio could lose as many as 2 seats in Congress
http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/ohio-news/ohio-coul...
<<TOLEDO, Ohio — Ohio is in line to be the biggest loser Tuesday when the Census Bureau releases state population totals that will determine how congressional districts are divided up.
Ohio has 18 congressional districts, but its population isn't keeping pace with other states.
Democrats stand to lose the most because Republicans who swept the state elections in November now will control the process of redrawing the congressional districts. Conventional wisdom says they'll target seats now held by Democrats. "I'd be shocked if they didn't do that," said Democratic strategist Gerald Austin.
Among the Ohio Democrats in Congress who could face losing their district are Cleveland's Dennis Kucinich and Betty Sutton, who represents suburban Cleveland and the Akron area.<<
Bad news, but hardly surprising.

1. It is going to be ugly with the Republicans controlling the state legislature
And all other statewide offices. If Ohio loses two seats, it's almost sure they will be democrats.

2. I have a feeling that all the voting machines are rigged in
Ohio. There will never be another democrat elected there until this is corrected.
It was sheer incompetence in programming the machines that allowed the jug-eared Kenyan to win Ohio in 2008. And Diebold was a Canton, Ohio company.

3. Sad to say, but with Jennifer Brunner on her way out, so goes early by mail voting.
This state will be racing to the bottom and join the low achieving Southern states in the red column.
I want to move.
Jennifer Brunner is the moonbat who replaced Ken Blackwell as Secretary of State. Prior to that she was best known for fighting against hunting in Ohio. She will be unemployed in January.

I have news for you, mouth breather, the "low achieving Southern States" (by and large) are weathering the obamaconomy a hell of a lot better than where you are.
I'll take Texas and Virginia over ****ing Ohio any day.
I want to move.
Stay where you are, you belong there.

How did Massachusetts make out? Who would be odd man out?

Wonder if they've figured out that the Liberal states are where the people are bailing from. Seems a pretty good indicator of what the people feel.

This is the real beauty of the last election. Not only did conservatives sweep into power on the national level, they kicked ass and took names on the state level as well.
Michigan, the home of union thugery, has a Republican Governor, House and Senate. It's totally red.

He's not really a man.
Just a sexual orientation confused hybrid with a cartoon character voice.

1 + 1 = potato
They'll never figure it out.
