I read that Gov. Strickland signed some major piece of legislation in Ohio that expands gun rights in the state. Even though he is pro-abortion, how does he stand on other issues? Is he more middle-of-the-road or is he another flaming liberal?

Strickland is a democrat, but he retains the common-sense and roots from his rural Ohio (where I am right now) upbringing. He’s also a pretty good politician and, so far, governor. He has supported gun rights and smoker’s rights, among other conservative-like issues. He clearly seems to be in touch, a lot of the time, with “...the native values of rural life.” We in Ohio could do worse, and have done so.

Barry Hussein needs to lose by a large margin, that way the more intelligent Democrat leaders will know that candidates too far to the left will not win. They are under the impression that the America-hating, 9/11 “truthers” are all that is out there. It may be that there are a limited number of Marxists outside of American universities, Hollywood and certain websites.

As a Michigander living on the border, I can say that Gov. Strickland is not bad for a Democrat. There are some good decisions coming out of Columbus...better than Taft.

how does he stand on other issues? Is he more middle-of-the-road or is he another flaming liberal? I am a die hard conservative and I sure as hell didn't vote for Strickland this past election, but he may actually get my vote the next time. The reason? He does virtually nothing. He has put forth no BS laws and we never hear from him. That's the kind of governor I can appreciate.
