(1,508 posts)problem is, most people either don't vote, or vote and then forget about politics until the next election comes up. I live in Ohio, and it is very hard to look away from politics in this state. We are mostly republican controlled, and believe me everyday I try to do something to change that. I had hoped that Nina Turner would win her bid to become Ohio Secretary of State. We worked hard to try to get her into that office, because we in Ohio realize how important that position is when it comes to the funny business that has taken place over the past years, especially with Ken Blackwell. The State is so gerrymandered, it's hard to get anything done, but I will continue to do my part whenever possible. President Obama got a lot done, but he did drop the ball on several occasions trying to reach across the aisle. I believe his dream was to do something that has never been done in this country and that is to change the mind of people who are still living in what is tantamount to the post Civil War era. I'm not disappointed in what his has been able to accomplish under those circumstance, but I do believe he would have been able to accomplish a lot more if democrats would have gotten out to vote during the election of House and Senate candidates.
