Reply #8: A lifelong Ohioan, I finally moved

[liberalhistorian]

to Rapid City, SD, last summer, leaving my family and friends to deal with the horrendous mess created by the state repukes' stranglehold, and the apathy and cluelessness of far too many of our fellow Ohioans.

I am more hopeful now about my former state than I've been in a very, very long time. My mom is still very active politically, and tells me she really thinks the Dems are gonna blow the idiot repukes out of the water and finally break their stranglehold and get them the hell out of office. We especially cannot WAIT to see that idiotic, gap-toothed, smug smile smacked right off of Senaturd DeWhine's face; that clueless idiot should NEVER have been elected in the first place, and we both love Sherrod Brown as well as his wife, Connie Schultz.

And Blackwell's blubbering, disbelieving meltdown is gonna be soooooooo great to watch; we've been waiting a very long time for that. He's probably especially frustrated that the gap between him and Strickland is far too wide for him to try any dirty tricks and shenanigans without attracting unwanted suspicion and scrutiny.

It will also be nice to see southern Ohio's stranglehold on clout and legislative power in the state finally broken as well.

None of this is enough to make me want to move back, of course, but it sure is great to see and I'm happy for my family and friends who are still stuck there. The taste of schadenfreude is gonna be sooooooo delicious!
