Ohio Valley Politics

So after getting their butts handed to them on election day what does the Ohio GOP decide to do? They wrote a blog post. A blog post that, among other things, slammed Democrats for not already holding some of the seats they’d won.

Reading Democrat blogs in Ohio is like reading The Onion or watching Comedy Central. It’s good for a laugh, but nothing should be taken seriously.

So for a laugh today, head on over to the BSBlog (the BS usually doesn’t stand for Buckeye State) and check out their wild-eyed spin on yesterday’s election results.

Clearly, whoever writes their blog needs a lesson in Ohio politics. Canton, Columbus, Lorain, Athens, and Chillicothe are DEMOCRAT cities. In fact, they’re overwhelmingly Democrat - sometimes by two or three to one margins. Naturally, winning races in these cities is an uphill challenge for ANY Republican, so it’s comical to see Democrats try to spin their victories here as some kind of bellwether on the 2008 presidential race.

So if Columbus was such a Democratic city why did you waste so many resources on it? If Canton was such a Democratic city then why was there a Republican incumbent that was unseated?

You’ve got to go read the whole thing, it’s hilarious.
