If you read political blogs, you know Daily Kos is the most influential liberal blog in the nation.
And if you follow Ohio politics, this article couldn’t help but capture your attention:
Some of my favorite nuggets:
[S]outheast Ohio shows as Kasich’s third stongest region at 54-43 for Kasich. The southeast is Strickland’s home base. It’s where he grew up and held a congressional seat for eons.

Strickland has been pure disaster for southern Ohio. His deals with the timber companies have deforested our counties.

I retain hope that Strickland will follow his own internal polling, withdraw from the race, allow Lee Fisher to run for governor, and leave Jennifer Brunner a clear shot at Rob Portman in the Senate race.
Holy. Frickin’. Crap.
And I thought I was tough on the Governor.
