I like Kasich. Lots of common sense in that guy. Governor Kasich. Man...that sounds nice! Ohio is now pretty much a red state with Republican wins for the govenor and senator seats, along with a good smattering of HR wins in many of the districts. You don't need to be a psychologist to understand people's feelings in Ohio....they're pissed at Obama.
 
Jillio's district goes to republican? :hmm:
 
Wow! Gov. Strickland is not enough to offset the effects of 400,000 jobs lost under the governor's watch.

Not my district. And Ohio has always been traditionally Repub. That's why it was so monumental that Obama took Ohio. Nothing new here under the sun.

Oh I see, majority of GOP victory in Ohio was from independent voters, I believe so.
 
It was a mandate from voters saying "Screw Obama's agenda." Independent voters have always made up a good majority of the voters all across the United States. It's a fact well recognzied by politicians. They don't take independent voters for granted. Congress was given four years to do something about it, they failed and made things worse. And now we see a 60+ seat Republican gain in the House of Representatives. A lot of hard work ahead of us now to undo the damage caused by four years of control in Congress and two years of control in the WH.

If republicans fail to solve the economic issues so it will going be big party switch in next election, that's part of consequence.

As opposed to spending $1.4 trillion over budget in 2009 and $1.3 trillion in 2010 and $1.4 trillion in 2011?? That's $4.1 trillion dollars over budget in 3 years vs Bush $5.1 trillion dollars deficit spending in 8 years? We're already more than double the pace of Bush even though I didn't like Bush's deficit spending in the first place.

Hey, either you agree that spending is out of control or not. And you still want to go with Obama??

The problem is uncertainty that small businesses are feeling right now. Many do not want to open up a business because of taxes and health care uncertainty. Many do not want to hire more people because of that. Until we can ensure small businesses that they can thrive and profit then we'll see many more hiring by private businesses. The govt does not create jobs, it's those businesses. Always have been that way.

Incorrect!

In fact since 1912 Presidential elections have been split pretty evenly. That is why Ohio was deemed a "battleground" state. Nothing monumental about obama's victory
in Ohio.
