So is Ohio considered 'Blue' Now? We off the shit list?

[The Straight Story]

Not to mention, we were probably blue in the last election, but it was stolen.

Before the blue wave of wrath descends on red states, I am hoping mine is now blue :) Though won't matter much, looking to move back to California as soon as able anyway....

1. We Knew That You Were Blue Before

This time you were Blue enough to overcome Diebold.

3. How about probationary purple until 2008?

:)

5. The only purple thing in Ohio is the Barney corpse in my backyard

and it ain't too purple anymore :)

[Ferret Annica]

14. In regard to Ohio you say;

"How about probationary purple until 2008?"

And I would add double secret probation is richly deserved by Tennessee until they get it right. ;-)

4. HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!

We are DEEP blue now! I am loving it,too. :hi: :toast:

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. Yeah. Happy for you! I am a native Californian stuck in red Texas.

:-(

[Zangal]

13. Texas ain't so bad

in the center of course =)

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. Austin is blue and cool! I am in San Antonio, not so blue or cool.

21. One More Push & She's Gone

Hopefully Dr. Wuslin, if the recount doesn't go her way, stays to fight another day in '08. OH-2 has come a long way in the last 3 years. From being one of the most red districts in the state, Paul Hackett proved Democrats could be competitive and Wuslin showed by could win.

This was the case in many districts and that I strongly encourage those who worked on campaigns that came up a little short to start working toward '08 ASAP...build on what's been accomplished. If Democrats continue to build on the 50-state strategy and we continue to support these people good things will happen.

8. TRUE BLUE Baby! But it was Ken Blackwell, not the people on the list.

Certainly before the truth was known about "What Went Wrong In Ohio" many people may have "thought" that you guys actually voted for *ushie boy. But anyone who actually took the time to research the facts and saw the videos of people waiting in line hours and hours and read about voters getting disenfranchised one way or another never blamed voters who did their very best despite a corrupt system.

Love Cali, grew up there, but dude, THEY really need election reform, so be prepared to help out when you get there. Feinstein & Arnold got re-elected, after all.

I was looking at the list of reported problems (and due to population and vigilance it may have been high anyway). Cali showed as completely red on the cheat sheet - meaning every precinct reported over 250 incidents of election fraud or called for explanation of information so they could be sure their vote was counted.

9. Idaho still king of the kool aid. Oh Yeahhhh! Wait 'til you see who

we elected to the Congress. I predict Sali (R) Idaho, will be
the next moron in chief of the House of Representatives.
Even his own party finds him annoying.

..."Sali’s critics pointed to an incident earlier this month in which he insisted on discussing studies linking abortion to breast cancer during a debate on a bill to require doctors to inform women about abortion-related risks. The Idaho House Democratic leader, a survivor of breast cancer, walked out in tears, and her Democratic colleagues followed her.

The Idaho GOP leaders postponed the day’s business. The Speaker, Bruce Newcomb, told The Idaho Statesman, “That idiot is just an absolute idiot. He doesn’t have one ounce of empathy in his whole fricking body. And you can put that in the paper.”

10. You betcha! You kick Blackwell's ass, all is forgiven.

12. We're counting on you in 2008......

Given the great results coming out of Ohio, I see Ohio in the blue column and I see a Presidency in our not too distant future.

:toast:

[Zambero]

15. Ohio has been Vindicated and Validated BLUE!!!

Stay the course!

[williesgirl]

16. Absolutely! I'm originally from Youngstown - knew it would happen

if votes were really counted this time accurately!

[Ksec]

19. Hey Youngstown !

Im close to you, just south. Columbiana county.
You ever hear of Wellsville? Its a one stoplight village.

[Ksec]

17. Im from Ohio but dont tell anyone...

I say we are on the right track. I love the fact that we took the Governors mansion and we threw Dewine out of power. I have hope but we need to continue along this path. We won the battle but not the war, so keep fighting.

[muryan]

18. as a resident of ohio

we are still purple. we have a red state legislature, a gop senator and some of the toss up house seats went red. Until we get more dems in the house and state legislature, im calling ohio purple pending 2008

20. We Ohio voters performed the Heimlich Maneuver

Even down here in Cincinnati we're turnin Blue. First Democratic majority on the Hamilton County Commission in ages with the victory of David Pepper (D) over incumbent Phil Heimlich (R).

[IntravenousDemilo]

22. You were never all on the shit list. Just some of you.

But that "some of you" has dwindled some, so now we can see you for the great state you are and always have been.

[sandrakae]

24. Yea, you guys are off the shit list. Actually Ken Blackwell was the only one on it.

[madrchsod]

25. yes until ohio state plays wisconsin

in basketball
