Hey Top Gun, I agree with your total outlook, just not the candidate. I am also from Ohio and I think we are so far up the ladder in foreclosures, loss of good jobs, we were predominately an industrial state. My husband spent over 33 years at GM. I really think Obama is not ready, too young, too inexperienced and to elitist at this time. He needs more time and needs to learn to be a little more humble and how to relate to blue collar workers. I am an American First. Political parties are fine to a point, when they hurt the country, I am worried about the best cadidate. At such a terrible time for our country, we have a man that would be 73 years old, is in bad health, a black / white candidate and a woman. Some choice. God Bless America
