I am going back for 10 days for Thanksgiving. Can't wait! Thank you for the comments on my recent post. No major depression, just been a little down. Doing much better! Hope you have a fantastic day honey!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Ohio. I'm voting a nearly straight dem ballot in Kansas, although I'm in quite a minority there.<br /><br />Jayne - you got to vote on a measure for pot? That's way more exciting than anything on my ballot!jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569300364660211416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-3683083204179894822010-10-24T14:48:00.307+13:002010-10-24T14:48:00.307+13:00You voted in California?!!

I'm in the central part of the state so not in her district. We'll have to compare ballots. I'm voting Yes on 19 to legalize pot for personal use.

(Which has a lot of "transplants" from the Midwest, including Ohio!) I'm always the first to defend it and the first to run it down. I'm sorry it's Wait-You-Ain't-Speaker-Yet Boehner who's calling attention to your state right now. <br /><br />Voting Democratic in NYC.

Although no one ever says that MY hometown is ugly. :)<br />I alternate, frequently, between bashing and defending Ohio. But it's so much a part of me that I can't separate myself from it either.<br />And, in case you were wondering, I'll be voting a straight Democratic ticket here in Vermont.<br />O-H-I-O!!!!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07945794102673837994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-80629481692431729682010-10-22T23:50:16.604+13:002010-10-22T23:50:16.604+13:00I have SO many ties to Ohio: I was in Montpelier t...I have SO many ties to Ohio: I was in Montpelier the day Richard Nixon resigned. One of my boyfriends was from the Toledo area, and I met him in Cincinnati. I once spoke (badly) to a Gay Pride rally in Columbus. I was, in other words, on the right side of the culture wars you described.<br /><br />As a born-and-bred Midwesterner, with so much personal connection to Ohio, I can't write off the state, despite its electoral troubles over the past decade.<br /><br />And yet, I can promise that John Boehner does not and never will speak for me—no way, no how.<br /><br />I have my ballot from Illinois. I will vote. It's obvious, but I'll vote Democratic—and I can't imagine why anyone would vote otherwise. I want the entire Midwest to vote as I do, but I know much of it will not.<br /><br />The culture wars are far broader than many suspect, so I applaud you for the way you approach them. I wonder, though, how much voters in Ohio (or the Midwest generally) will get that they're being played for fools by the corporate elites who really run the show—AND John Boehner.Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-515007880856265722010-10-22T23:29:42.338+13:002010-10-22T23:29:42.338+13:00Columbus - nice place to live, but I'd hate to...Columbus - nice place to live, but I'd hate to visit there.Juddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07312002006733182276noreply@blogger.com
