Early voting off to a good start for Dems in Ohio
Ohioans have been casting their ballots for the 2010 midterm elections since September 28th. Voters in other states have also begun casting their ballots. By and large, these ballots are dribbling in, as they typically do so soon in the early voting period. Early voting usually begins to pick up pace as the election nears.

But something special is going on in two Ohio Democratic strongholds: Cuyahoga and Franklin counties.I track on this handy web page that other places around the country - including other Ohio counties - are so far reporting low single digit early voting rates. In stark contrast, over 112,000 votes have already been cast in these two Ohio counties. As a comparison, this represents over ten percent of all ballots cast in the 2006

2. I Sent In My Ballot Last Week
With the exception of a few Judges who I know personally and know to be good people and quality judges, I voted all Democrat as well. There was a time when I would consider voting for Republicans based on their stances on issues. Those days are over. Ever since Bush took office and the entire Republican Party gave this country the finger, it's been my policy that unless I happen to know a candidate personally, I'm voting for the Democrat.

Oh, and I'm one of the 112,000 people in Franklin County (Columbus) who voted early. Interesting thing, though. I sent my and my wife's absentee ballot applications in at the same time (they were literally right on top of one another). I got my ballot a week later, but my wife NEVER got hers. She called the BOE and they told her they lost her application and that she'd have to send in another one. I hope there's no shenanigans going on there.

3. The..
trolls are out in full force they are unrecommending my posts because they aren't really Dems.

I put a post on here about Glenn beck donating money to the chamber of commerce and they were unrecommending their little troll asses away. Why would Dems be unrecommending? Is that glen beck and friends..
