Governor Lee Fisher. Four years later, the two have gone into free-fall, according to two Quinnipiac polls.

Ohio is going back full tilt conservative. And Sherrod Brown (full blown commie) must be a nervous wreck for his ‘12 re-election. Watch him start to vote with the GOP.

To paraphrase Moochelle....

For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my state.

As a native-born Buckeye I can tell you that folks there absolutely cannot stand being lied to. And when Barack Hussein Obama talked out of both sides of his mouth to them about ending NAFTA and restoring manufacturing jobs, he burnt the bridge for Democrats for many years to come.

We can debate the pros and cons of the policy, but the fact that he told such a blatant lie on such an important issue has really ticked-off Ohioans.

“Amazing what a few fringe extremists can do.”

So will Obama actually turn out to be what his supporters thought, the best thing to happen to our nation in decades?

Only in a completely different way than they thought?
