Ohio, AZ and CO seemed to be leaning left lately! Those states might, and I mean might, give the SHE-DEVIL the presidency.....BE VERY AFRAID!

If the author was honest about it, he'd point out that John Kerry was such a left-wing tool that he lost Ohio.

Right a pretend Conservative "Iraqi War Vet" Democrat got bitch slapped by a Rino Republican and the usual suspects hyperventilate about "Shifting Ohio". Get a grip. Poor Candidate kicked the butt of a very strong Democrat candidate give millions of dollars in Moveon.org and Free Junk Journalism support for his candidate. The question that SHOULD be asked is given ALL the illegal 527 and Failed Media support for him, why did Hackett STILL lose?

I wonder how Bob Taft feels to know that, after all these generations, he's the Taft to push Ohio into the Democratic column?

Special elections are often atypical though. Around 1981-82, there was one in central Ohio won by Oxley, succeeding Tennyson Guyer. That one was very close -- now it could have been because it was a weak economy, but it could also have been just because it was a special election.

We who live in Ohio have been sold out by "country club-RINO" republicans: Voinovich, DeWine, Taft and, now, Ney. The fault is the Ohio GOP country club who deny entry to real conservatives and promote only the RINOs. We need a grass roots, conservative uprising.

It's the same in Arizona. Any real conservative like Fife Symington or Evan Mecham are attacked by the liberal cabal and run out of office. Only Rino's and worse are allowed here.

It's only a reactionary trend thanks to Taft. Once Blackwell wins this fall...Ohio will be deep red once again.

Blackwell is the man! But, Ohio's union members loath the GOP, and Ohio's GOP establishment is long on RINOs and short on conservatives.

Ohio's union members are of course too stupid to realize it's the union itself that drove the steel jobs out of Cleveland, Canton, and Youngstown, and the rubber jobs out of Akron, and the glass jobs out of Toledo...

It's ironic that the state who gave us Goldwater and, in doing so, provided an opportunity for Reagan to show his stuff, is now trending liberal.

Don't worry, you've always got McCain! lol!

Article is 5 months old and it is a relic in the political sense. Rasmussen has Dewine now running ahead of his Dem opponents Hackett and Brown. Steele is now ahead in Maryland and in general things are far better then the lame stream media would have you believe.

In 2004 the LAT and I believe Gallup had a Generic poll out claiming the Dems were 19 points ahead in the congressional approval and who would you vote for question. This was in June, only about 5 months before the election and we all know what happened.

But...that was Bush's fault, they say.

You're right, they're stupid and blindly defend the unions that sold them down the river.

It was far more democrat when Celeste was governor.

Why is there not some conservative who will challenge DeWhine in the primary?

I cannot answer that. Name recognition is important, perhaps there is no one with name enough to do so.

And keep on drinking the Kool-Aid the unions give them.
