>>Columbus is the gayest city in the whole mid-west, so I don't thnk its conservative in any way shape or form...<<
Well that's just a shame. Even when they anexed half the state to be ranked bigger in land mass than Cleveland?
One would think that some of those farm people would be a little consevative.
As a resident of central ohio (where I live isn't Columbus...yet), I can safely tell you that this article/editorial/whine piece is nothing new for the Dispatch. After all, they also own a local TV network that is the CBS affiliate, so you can see they get their lying ability inherently. In regards to Columbus being conservative, those who typically work in Columbus are conservative, the problem is they typically don't live IN Columbus, they live in the many suburbs. Notice in the Election maps, most every county (if not every county) surrounding Columbus is BRIGHT RED. Columbus has a Democratic mayor (who is totally worthless by the way), and routinely votes to the blue. The only thing conservative in Columbus is the State House, because of all of us Conservatives who make up the REST of the State. Columbus is also one of the most retailed cities on the face of the planet (retail shops per capita), so its all about vanity and such, it should come as no surprise that Columbus is so Blue.
