Tomorrow, it's only a day away...

by Jim Shepherd Next Tuesday, I hope your day planner begins the same as mine. At the top of my agenda in big red letters is a four-letter word that defines why we're the country everyone loves to hate, but can't wait to visit. The four letters: VOTE. Yep, that glorious Tuesday when all the months of ceaseless mud, bull and hyperbole slinging stops - at least for a few hours - as citizens...

(Firefox users: If you have any trouble viewing the embedded video, click here to read the story transcript.) In related news, the Ohio Elections Commission has found "no probable cause" to support Kasich/Bubp's false accusations that Strickland lied.

Kasich Campaign Desperate to Spay/Neuter the Gun Vote

by Ken Hanson Conspicuously absent from almost all Kasich-Taylor campaigning before mid-October was any mention of firearm/hunting/sporting rights. There is a simple explanation for this. John Kasich's record on firearm rights is horrible . He is not being dinged for a single vote, or a few votes.

Cleveland clings to gun control until the bitter end

by Ken Hanson, Esq. On October 12, 2010, the Ohio Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Cleveland's challenge to the constitutionality of R.C. 9.68. R.C. 9.68 is the provision of Ohio law generally referred to as Ohio's preemption law, which was implemented over Governor Taft's veto of House Bill 347.
