Can Democrats Win in Ohio River Valley?

[cal04]

In the valley where Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky meet, people complain about the state of the nation, voicing as many frustrations as there are turns in the Ohio River.

''Everything's going all to hell,'' said Jeremy Newman, 23, of Crestwood, Ky., who backed President Bush in 2004 but says he now regrets it.

''The war is a problem. It's senseless,'' fretted another unhappy Bush voter, Maria Hall, 56, upriver in Scottsburg, Ind. She has a son in the Navy.

''The economy's hurting everywhere,'' lamented Jim Meyer, 59, in Greenhills, Ohio, who also supported Bush two years ago.

1. I hope some of these frustrated and disgruntled Buckeyes will vote blue

this November.

Especially if they're in Mean Jean Schmidt's district.

2. Some of these people are getting what they deserve

and the chickens are really coming home to roost now.

3. But Jesus, Guns & Gays will still be run out there to scare

the people back into voting for repugs.
