I Will Vote A Straight Democratic Ticket

It is especially important to vote Democratic this year because:

1. Give our team more time to accomplish what they set out to do. The economic numbers are just starting to edge upward. The way I see it, a change in leadership means time lost while the new guy gets up to speed. AND, the battle about repealing our state income tax - come on - that will take months to settle, meantime, nothing positive will happen. Our state lawmakers will be stuck in the ditch and progress will come to a grinding halt. 

2. Redistricting - I hope for results we can ALL live with. And I believe we have a better chance for that to happen if Ted Strickland is leading the discussion. I respect his judgment and his inclination to listen to all sides. 

Just so you know, I do not always vote a straight ticket. For instance, I always voted for George Voinovich no matter what position he was seeking. This year, he isn't running. He has decided to do other things. I wish him well whatever he does and I thank him for his hard work in behalf of Ohio citizens. So.....
