has been red as long as I can remember. I can remember when it was one of the only counties in s.e. Ohio that voted for r's. I lived in Monroe County when I noticed. Now, the only county in s.e. Oh. that votes blue is Athens County.

If any of the rw candidates had a signle shred of decency or integrity, I wouldn't hate this all so much. But they've offered dregs for years and each election cycle, their candidates suck even more.

I drove through Portage County last summer. Pretty area.
