Redfern resigns as Ohio Democratic chair.
It's about time! These statewide races have been a joke under his watch because the party puts no competition up against the Republicans.
Kasich never should have won by 31 percentage points in the governor's race. He won in 86 of the state's 88 counties and those were sparsely populated counties in SE Ohio. That means he won in traditional Democratic areas in NE Ohio, Toledo and Dayton. Fitzgerald was an unknown with a sloppy track record who did nothing in his campaign. Literally, NOBODY in my area even knew who was running for governor on the Democratic ticket. The state's economy has picked up because the national economy has picked up, especially in automotive manufacturing which has a HUGE impact in Ohio.
Josh Mandel wins re-election as Treasurer by campaigning that he balanced the state budget. Well, WHOOP-DEE-FREAKIN-DOO! The state budget is required to be balanced under the state's constitution.
Jon Husted won by 30-some points as Sec. of State despite all of the shady news regarding voter registrations and access to polling places under his watch.
And another thing - All of the polls show Congress has a lower approval rating than ebola. Yet, in my state, the incumbents all won by landslides. "Congress is a bunch of assholes, except MY congressman," is what the voters seemed to be saying. If we're ever going to fix this country's mess, we need to clean our own house and not be afraid to vote out some of these crooks.
Nationally, the Kentucky Senate race was most disappointing. How can you re-elect McConnell when he personifies everything I hear people bitch about what's wrong with the federal government? And now, it looks like he will chair the Senate for at least the next two years.
