OH '22 statewide results explained ... and this is from somebody who really is in the know. (not me)

Nan Whaley was so bad that she dragged down Tim Ryan, the 3 sisters running for the OH Supreme Court,
and other statewide races too.

Whaley is more of a ceremonial mayor of Dayton and the real managerial work is done by a city manager, she ran
a really bad campaign, come election day she was 30 points down, and when the national the national networks
came on @ 7:30 they were calling the race for DeWine @ 7:31. DeWine's winning was so big that lots of his voters
voted a straight ticket down ballot and that was it for the other candidates. OH has long history of people splitting
their votes example people have voted for a republican as governor but then voted for a democrat as senator
(example Sherrod Brown) but the cosmic black hole caused by Whaley was just too much to overcome.

DeWine got about 63% of the vote.

Whaley got about 37% of the vote.

Vance got about 53% of the vote.

Ryan got about 47% of the vote.

4 more things:

Ohio in many places is like N. Alabama and we have a lot of racist MAGA types.
The Ohio Democratic Party is like a limp groom on the wedding night in many cases.
The state is so highly gerrymandered that the congressional races are over before they start.
DeWine had media and social media spots taking credit for the new microchip plant that was
a result in a large part because of President Biden's work. (the chips act which the GOP was against)

I give up. The fascism is here.

At the end of the day more people will have voted Democratic and the vast majority of Americans support their ideas and yet the Republicans will take control back of the House, maybe the senate, and they will shut down the House investigation into the biggest criminal in American history. The trillions from the fossil fuel industry is paying for all this shit too.

C-ya

Presidents Obama, Clinton, and Biden told us that democracy was at stake too.

@ a friend's house and saw the start of CBS' nightly ..

... and the story was about how big the Republicans are gonna win and how come it is all President Biden's fault.

Can we win this day for my friend Kathy from Columbus?

We are gonna crush 'em today. And this win will be for a long time friend and wife an old friend who despite dying from
breast cancer had her husband drive her to early voting 4 days ago where they voted from their car. She slipped into a
coma last night and I doubt she will wake back up. But if she does I want her to see that a blue wave has washed our
nation clean.

Please think good thoughts about my friend Kathy from Western Michigan and Columbus. She is one of the good ones.

Roevember is here. All of this is misery, and hurt is by design. A must read thax DUer Nevilledog!

"What happens in the midterms won’t be about Republicans or Democrats, but whether people cast a vote
for the continuation of suffering, or attempt to end the anguish that banning abortion has caused."

"Those are just the adults. ?This summer, Republicans insisted the story of a raped and pregnant 10-year-old in Ohio? was a hoax, and later tried to paint the girl’s experience as a tragic anomaly. In fact dozens of girls in Ohio 14 years old and under had abortions in 2021. In neighboring Kentucky, more than a dozen children aged 14 or younger had abortions last year; two 9-year-olds needed abortions in the past few years. These are victimized children who will now be forced to carry pregnancies, perilous for their small bodies, or leave their home state for care.

In other words: real people, across the country, are enduring real suffering. All of which was predictable and preventable."



"As Americans head into midterm elections, they need to consider not what Republicans say about abortion — but what they do, and what their laws have already done.

Voters should remember that none of this is accidental. All of this is misery, and hurt is by design. This alone should motivate voters to protect abortion rights."

IS CNN now becoming a new Fox News type of outlet?

I woke up early and they had on two chyrons ..... around 5 AM

1) African Americans are no longer supporting the Democratic Party

2) Latinos are uncertain about Biden

Those are really rough quotes but it looks like the PTB are pushing for a republican win on Tuesday.
