I also voted against Lee Fisher, mostly to take bets on which office he'll run for (and lose) next.
Brilliant.

Governor - Was leaning Strickland (can't stand Kasich), but got cold feet and went for the libertarian guy.I only do this in landslide races when it feels safe to throw support for a multi-party system. I'm afraid in this race, where EVERY vote will count, independents (which I do consider myself to be) might do Strickland in and we will all be stuck with Kasich - even if the majority of voters actually disagree with his views. I'm seriously terrified. TERRIFIED!!

I currently am holding out hope that Ohio voters are more mature that those in other states (ahem, Kentucky.) I think Strickland will win by a small margin. He's done a good job of managing a shrinking budget and, I think most people understand he can't be blamed for the national recession.

OMG, Kentucky just made me sad. I was SERIOUSLY considering a little vacay pad in Lexington. That desire just dried up.

given that up to 15% of the population still subscribes to the geocentric model of the universe, and an even larger percentage don't think that whole 'evolution' thing is real, I hesitate to make any predictions on the general public's understanding of economics.

La Botz (Socialist) for Senate .
Spisak (Green) for Governor
Yes on Issue 4
Some Democrats (I tried, Mary Jo, despite the silly Irish theme you keep going with)
Didn't vote for any judges because I didn't read enough to know where they stand. I'd actually rather not see judges run for office.There were actually a few people in line which suprised me and it was nice to see highschool students and old folks working together. Gotta love the one old guy at every poll who wants to explain all the election laws to you before you vote.

anyone vote Doucher for judge?I didn't, but I wondered if she was going to help cleanse society. :)
I didn't vote for a lot of things because I wasn't too educated this time around. I did vote for Strickland and I'm disappointed that he didn't win.
I didn't vote for the City council issue because I didn't have time to research it but now that I know about it I'm planning on calling of State Jennifer Bruner and giving her an ear full. Our government tries to pull the wool over our eyes and then wonders why there is such opposition all of the time...

Most of the Democrats that I voted for (Strickland, O'Shaughnessy, Boyce, Cordray, and Pepper) lost; some of the Republicans I voted for (Portman, Lanzinger, O'Connor, Mingo) won, while others (Hubler and the Healys) lost.
The Democrats of Central Ohio are reeling at the fact they went 0-10 (Senate, Congress Districts 7, 12, 15, and 18, Governor, Secretary of State, Atty. General, Treasurer, Auditor). Does not look good for Obama in two years if he wants to win Ohio.
Strickland is the latest victim of a Tea Party tornado that threw ex-NJ Gov. John Corzine out 365 days ago, as New Jersey and Virginia- both states that elected Obama (like Ohio) two years ago, elected Republicans. The New York and California state houses almost became victims of the Tea Party movement, but Atty. Gen. Andrew Cuomo (D) was elected governor, and in California, the Democratic challenger won as well.
In addition to Portman, the Republicans took Obama's old Senate seat in Illinois, but not Biden's (poor Christine O'Donnell) or Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid. The GOP also claimed Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln's seat as well.

Sure looks like it. Two years ago who'd have thought that would happen, eh?

AG - Cordray (never liked Dewine)
Senate - Stivers (Don't care for Kilroy at all)
SOS - I think O'Shaughnessey
Treasurer - Boyce (I think)
Auditor - Yost (Although I think David Pepper's a cooler name, I had a friend named Dave Yost growing up)
I also voted against Lee Fisher, mostly to take bets on which office he'll run for (and lose) next.I argue that while citizens have no duty to vote, if they do vote, they must vote wellâ€â€on the basis of sound moral and empirical beliefs in order to promote the common goodâ€â€or otherwise they are morally obligated to abstain. Though individual votes make no significant difference to political outcomes, bad voting violates either a duty not to participate in collectively harmful activities or a duty not to participate in collective activities that impose undue risk upon innocent people.
