… but I voted for a Democrat today. Actually, I voted for six. Now, before my more left leaning friends get too excited (and Mom has a coronary, she does read the blog), they were 2 appeals court judges and four somewhat minor posts like auditor and secretary of state, but still, I think they’re the first Democrats I’ve ever voted for.
\nI actually tried to consider Ted Strickland, the Democratic candidate for Governor, but nearly every statement I read from him was a lot of words for little meaning. What was he going to do<\/em> if elected? I have no idea, but he talked a lot about what he knew, what he thought and the dialog he would have with folks about stuff. Knowledge, thoughts and talking, but no action. And, I liked much of what Ken Blackwell had to say.
\nI also looked seriously at Mark Dann<\/strike>Sharrod Brown (Oops) for Senate over Mike DeWine. I was not happy with the harsh, smearing tone of DeWine’s campaign and I liked some of the things I heard in Brown’s commercials. (Yeah, I said commercials). In the end, I couldn’t go along with his belief that all Medicare funding should be taken out of the hands of the states and given to the feds as a solution to the health care problems. I’m definitely in the ‘more local control’ camp rather than the ‘more federal control’ camp, and that statement told me what Dann’s philosophy is. I think that states and municipalities know better what their constituents need than he feds do.
\nSo, there’s my election day political post. I’ll try to stay out of politics for a couple of years now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
