It's ...Buyer's remorse across the country.<br /><br />It's too bad really... people keep making the horrible mistake of voting Republican. When will they learn? Hopefully in 2012... but I wouldn't be surprised if the GOP tricks people into voting for them again in 2014.

Not really breaking the bank, especially in that more Republican than usual electorate. Scott just is confirming voters' dim views of him to begin with, yes.Dustin Ingallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00599131416393266722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-26317479427175245022011-05-25T21:08:50.369-05:002011-05-25T21:08:50.369-05:00"Huh.

Don't expect the media to point that out and change their 'most Americans support gay marriage' (even if it's not true) narrative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-78334536613047606612011-05-25T20:09:59.105-05:002011-05-25T20:09:59.105-05:00Glad to hear radical Republicans are slipping in t...Glad to hear radical Republicans are slipping in the polls even absent national attention.Mark B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451770086337664.post-42885099160133370322011-05-25T19:22:32.721-05:002011-05-25T19:22:32.721-05:00One of Kasich's biggest problems is that Ohio ...One of Kasich's biggest problems is that Ohio voters approved a constitutional amendment allowing casino gambling which dictated specific fees and taxes and the governor thinks the taxpayers got cheated. He hired a consulting firm, which works on a fee plus commission basis to extract more taxes from the operators.

There's far too few questions being asked about this in today's state-by-state polling. <br />The fact that Ohio opposes gay marriage 53%-31% is probably one of the reasons why Obama isn't supporting such marriages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
