I hope the Republicans go after the Hispanic vote. There are conservative Hispanic business owners here who appreciate the opportunity to raise their families in a strong state and might be very willing to campaign for a Republican.

make no mistake. ohio (my state) is as blue as it gets.

there are the democrats (”blue”), and republicans — also “blue”. it is nearly impossible to tell the difference.

the left and right feet of ohio politics are both walking in step, in the same direction.
