i am not really sure how primaries work i guess because there are republicans voting for hillary in some places- at the behest of the likes of limbaugh and who not. apparently, they are so scared of obama- they want a hillary/mccain matchup. i am not at all certain that they won't pull a switcheroo and throw romney back in at the last minute. it is all so pointless it's maddening.
My wife is from Akron, having seen first hand the racist attitudes of some of her old friends, I'm not surprised by the outcome. Neither was she. I heard the N word bandied around more there when I first went with her to visit then anywhere else I've been!
we all better toughen up 'cause the mccain party is going to make that sign look wussy. and what ignorant boob thought richardson was anywhere in the running?
so the racists vote for clinton and the mysoginists vote for obama and how shall we characterize the mccain voters. which scatology do you prefer?
I did read somewhere that Ohio would split north and south. It is a stunning tragedy that in 2008 there are still ignorant people who would not vote for someone on the basis of race. Am I surprised? Nope.
I'm disappointed, but if it is true that race was important in Ohio, I am not that surprised. I grew up there, and it is not a very progressively minded place, in general.
Hi Annie, as you may or may not know, I live in Ohio. I figured Hillary would win here because I knew all those rednecks would vote for a woman before a mixed-race man with the name Hussein. I know, it makes no sense but it does. LOL Anyway, was walking through the office yesterday and someone yelled out, "I'm NOT voting for anyone with the name Hussein!" I called her a racist and she proudly claimed the title. I really want to move LOL
Annie, re: my comment at Lucy's - I'm no Hillary fan, but I want Obama supporters to be careful what they wish for. Both of the last two standing have so typically moved to the right to have a chance at the presidency (Google "Instant Recall Voting" and see what you think). As for dirty tricks, well, they're both outta Chicago!
I live here...and I have no idea what happened..so sorry....I did my best...and up here by the Lake we worked hard to get the Vote out...I don't know about the Southern Part of the State...
I am ashamed of Hillary and her antics...unreal....I don't think i could ever vote for her on a DEM ticket- not after what I have seen and heard.....
And yes, there was alot of dirty dealing here in Ohio...games....
looks like someone got busy with their little Magic Marker of hate there ...
we've collectively slid so far into complacency since the days of the sixties when people got out there into the streets in protest against wrongs or in celebration of colour, even if it meant risking their lives, even losing them, even in Ohio

most people dont remember the clinton admin. if they did billary wouldnt have made it this far
Hey wait, I rather enjoyed the Clinton Years! If nothing else, Wild Bill was entertaining. But the country boomed during his tenure.
I'm already sick of hearing about the election and it's only early March.
I wasn't aware of this type of feeling in Ohio and it really does put a different shine on the result there.

What does it mean when Texas is more cosmopolitan than Ohio?!
IE Obama got a higher percentage of the white vote in Texas than in Iowa or Ohio.

I agree with Nancy.
What a freaking mess.
it will stay a mess as long as the PEOPLE allow it. nobody seems to care, big picture.

I guess they didn't have room for:
"First Baptist Church of Reaganville" - Huckabee
"World's Safest Nukular Bunker" - McCain
