This state could be the final nail in GOP's mid-term coffin (DailyKos) [View all]

Ohio was once the ultimate swing state, choosing the winner in all but two presidential elections between 1912 and 2012.

I sure am glad that Sherrod Brown came back to challenge this un-elected GOP Senate incumbent this year--
other than for the back-lash against Democrats over inflation in 2024, he wouldn't have lost his previous seat...

and NO, the economic back-lash against Democrats over inflation was not warranted,
if more voters had more knowledge about world-wide economic conditions at the time,
they would have known that US inflation was about the lowest in the world---
but instead they were only reacting against their own inflation difficulties,
and chose to believe the baseless lies of a pathological liar (Trump)--- sigh


However, 'the worm' seems to be turning, and the pendulum is swinging back in the opposite direction...
