[Magrittes Pipe]

1. Hiya.

Former (and hopefully future) Buckeye here.

Born and raised in Springfield, looking to head up to the North Coast soon.

[thatgemguy]

2. Greetings

from Ohio's Eastern Shore.

We live on the Ohio River between Steubenville, and Wheeling WV.

[olddem43]

3. Hello, Hamilton County here, - the biggest R/W ghetto in

the state. Outside of the city (Cincinnati), Dems are as rare in this county as Sumatran rhinos.

[FatSlob]

8. I think we have a couple of those rhinos at the zoo.

Hamilton Cty. here.

[mosin]

4. I'm from Hamilton County...

where Democrats just hope to lose respectably.

[Ninga]

5. Chagrin Falls in Cuyahoga County

Cuyahoga County very, Democrat
Chagrin Falls.......very, very, Repg.

[Kolesar]

12. They handed flowers to the Dems in the Chagrin Falls parade last month

Ok, maybe there were not flowers, but the Democrats who marched in the Chagrin Falls parade said that there were plenty of cheers for those carrying the Kerry banner. :party:

Lower Chagrin Valley here.

[Ninga]

13. You are right SpikeTrees

The Dems were treated better than expected during the Blossom Parade Memorial Day weekend.

In fact, there is a new group called "Patriots for Change".

Made up of Dems, Independents, and Repugs who support Kerry/Edwards.

visit wwww.patriotsforchange.com

Let me know if you want the meeting schedule.

[Kolesar]

14. More meetings!

I have been doing a lot of meetings lately. Thanks for telling me, though :)

[shirlden]

20. Sister and family live

in Chagrin Falls. Beautiful town. They are solid, old-line, Liberal Democrats.

[bandagainstbush]

18. I don't know about you,

But I'm not going down without a fight. Last I checked, HamCO Repugs were too scared to leave their houses, anyway...

Cincinnati for Kerry in 2004!

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

24. Hey! Speak for yourself!

I live in Springfield Township and look forward to sending that peckerwood back to Texas.

[InkAddict]

6. Right cheer in Daytone! n/t

[jakefrep]

7. Greetings from the banks of the Mighty Maumee River.

Hello from Napoleon!

[Imperialism Inc.]

9. Columbus here.

Did you all hear? No blackbox voting this year!! Yippie.

[LiberalCat]

17. Also, Columbus; originally, Troy.

No, didn't hear about "no blackbox voting this year". Unfortunately, I don't have the time or desire to wade through all the propaganda, so I miss a lot of local news.

[realisticphish]

10. Piss-ant little town near Lancaster

counting the days until im back at school and in good ol' Columbus for another 9 months....



:hippie:

[Blue-Jay]

11. Springfield here.

At work on a Saturday morning and hating it.

[mongo]

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

16. Washington Twp/Centertville..S Suburban Dayton.

a right wing valhalla.

[Kukesa]

31. Me, too.

I've volunteered to be a precinct captain and am going to Dem HQ for training tomorrow.

Good news: I had a friend from Miamisburg phone and ask for bumper stickers and pins (he and his wife voted Repuke last time), and three neighbors have ASKED for yard signs.

I'm hopeful!

[VolcanoJen]

32. Precinct Captain??? WOOHOO!!!

Way to go, Mom! How brave of you to volunteer!!!

Fellow Buckeye here... I split my time between Middletown and Cincinnati, so I'm both a Butler/Hamilton County Dem. I also have strong allegiances to my hometown, Dayton. :-)

[gemdem]

71. First post from Washington-A

First-time precinct captain here. Spent three hours on Sunday walking the precinct. Accounted in some fashion for 100 of 438 names on my list. Most folks weren't home -- bummer. Nonetheless, I'm on the job and here on the board.

[jakefrep]

72. Welcome!

Glad to have you here!
:toast:

[Kukesa]

80. Welcome to DU, GD.

I'm doing Washington Twp.-Y but haven't begun yet and it's my first time, too.

Does that make us virgins?

It's kinda scary, isn't it? What with all those Repukes surrounding us.

[jimshoes]

19. Hi all,

Cleveland suburbs, on the west side.

[shirlden]

21. Columbus here

and formerly of Newark (Nerk) that RW fundie haven in mid Ohio. Geezz I hate that town. At least Columbus (Franklin Co) can still elect a Dem occasionally.

All Hail Ohio Duers.

Any of you going to the RNC protests in NYC?

Shirl

[Torgo Johnson]

22. Elyria-Lorain

Mostly blue and one area that has been in a recession for years.

[Eurobabe]

65. Hey I'm from Lorain

my aunt and uncle live in Elyria. They voted for Bush last time, trying hard to convince them to vote for Kerry, or not vote at all. I know they don't like Bu$h, at least my Aunt might be twistable? Other relatives in Vermilion are voting Kerry.

[Philostopher]

23. Just south of Dayton, here.

In Kettering, the 'bedroom community' band between Oakwood and Centerville. A little more modest, and while there are plenty of Republicans, I've actually seen more Kerry bumperstickers than I have Bush, so far. Not many of either, mind you, but so far more for Kerry.

Of course, most of the ones I've seen have been in the parking lot outside Trader Joe's, but still!

[truth2power]

25. Cincinnati here.

Eastern side.

[robo]

70. Same here

On RT.32 east about 30 miles

[Bush was AWOL]

26. Columbus

52. Hi Chili!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[NEOBuckeye]

33. Akron, Checking In!

I'm amazed that there aren't more DUers from my town here. Or maybe they're just lurking about. Isn't there anyone else from the Akron-Summit County area in the neighborhood? :)

[rexcat]

35. Mason checking in...

Warren county, the most regug county in the state.

[asthmaticeog]

36. Cleveland, here

smack dab in the middle of the city proper - woo hoo.

[blueskies67]

37. Hi from Dayton!

Born and raised.

[Kukesa]

43. Welcome to DU, BS67.

If you have time, we sure could use some more help down at Dem HQ; our next volunteer meeting is Aug. 5.

(See how we are? You finally join DU and already I'm trying to give you a job!)

:hi:

[newyawker99]

53. Hi blueskies67!!

[newyawker99]

55. Hi Mrs_Beastman!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[obietiger]

49. I'm still here

in Massillon!

[desi]

50. Hello from Chardon.

Shrub was five minutes from us yesterday but we could not make it to Lakeland CC for the demonstration. He brought us a hell of a rainstorm and I hope he got soaked..

[Droopy]

51. Hello from Miamisburg

I don't really have a feel for the politics around here as I work about 60 hours a week and don't have time for much else. But I can tell you that three family members who live here who voted for Bush last time will be voting Kerry this time.

[Kukesa]

60. I live down the road from you,

in Washington Twp.

We'll certainly take those 3 votes you mentioned! We need 8 more votes per precinct (more than the last election) to take this Buckeye state. We can do it!

[bookworm65t]

56. Donnelsville

it's a little village 6 miles west of Springfield in Clark County. So I guess you could say I'm Springfield too, but I'd rather not be lumped in with Springfield, if you don't mind. :)

[goodboy]

58. Dublin...eom

[newyawker99]

61. Hi goodboy!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[AngryOldDem]

62. Rather Tardy....

...but better late than never.

New DUer reporting from that great GOP stranglehold of Centerville/Washington Twp...

[cmd]

63. Welcome to the fold

You will find a lot of angry old dems around here. Hope to see you posting regularly.

[AngryOldDem]

66. Thanks....

for the welcome! Didn't used to be old, didn't used to be angry. Funny what four years of Bush will do to a person.

Looking forward to the discussions...

[Kukesa]

76. Me, too, AOD.

Welcome to DU -- care to help out by volunteering? We can use all the help we can get.

PM me if you're interested.

[AngryOldDem]

78. Already Volunteering!

Thanks for the welcome! In fact, I'll be down at HQ Saturday morning. I'd like to help wherever I can....


:)

[OilemFirchen]

64. Moi Aussi

Greetings from St. Anne's Hill, Dayton's bestest historic district (except for the others, of course).

Please see my invite to the Mitakides/Kennedy rally and sign in if you can make it!

[AngryOldDem]

67. More Info?

I can't be there exactly at 10...how long is it expected to last? I'd like to at least try to make part of it.

(and thanks for the welcome...)

[OilemFirchen]

68. Here's a link for more rally info:

http://jane04.com/kennedy.htm

BTW, the rally is going to be held at the corner of McClain and Henry, not Fifth, as the site indicates.

It looks like they're only planning for a half hour, but there's also a lunch at the Dublin Pub. More info, as well as an RSVP, at the site.

Hope to see you!

73. Dayton

[Kukesa]

77. Welcome!

I live in Centerville/Washington Twp.

Glad you joined DU -- it's nice to know I have some pals in this part of the Buckeye state.

[chrisesq]

81. Thanks for the welcome, but it looks as though I should welcome you too.

Been coming to this site for a bit over a year now, just don't post that much.

I work in Centerville.

[Kukesa]

82. You're correct!

You're an OLDER Duer than I am. No, no, I really meant wiser!

Good to know there are a few of us around here in the southern suburbs. I expect to be attacked when I begin going door-to-door in my precinct captain capacity, so if you hear any screaming, and see someone wearing a Kerry/Edwards button who's making the noise, please come rescue me!

[Lorien]

74. Born in Columbus, raised in Clintonville

now live in Florida :-(. Parents still in Ohio (dad is in Marysville, mom lives near OSU). Mom is a fundie that COULD be swayed if Kerry was anti-war. Dad hates BushCo with a passion, as does his girlfriend. If anyone knows of activies going on in the Columbus area, PM me; they would like to take part, I'm sure.
