I am returning from Ohio after a visit with the family (and aggressively campaigning for Sachem) and noticed unemployment in Columbus was only 6.2% and Ohio itself was 7.3%. In this key swing state do you think it will help Obama ? I read an article where Kaisch (R) was taking credit for it and the campaign told him to tone it down.

All I know is that from the last time I was there, it has improved. There is even an apartment shortage in Columbus - that has never happened in all the years I lived there. One reason for living there was the cheap real estate.
and Obama are the heads of the same double-headed dildo, no question about it. |

Don't forget to submit your expense report. |

The unemployment numbers could be distorted like the national figures.
I do know Ohio has lost a massive number of good manufacturing jobs since the treaties of free trade(free-traitorism) was sold to the American people as something beneficial to them. Maybe the population has dropped as people are looking for jobs elsewhere? Maybe burger assembly is listed as a manufacturing job? Maybe there are many more big box stores like Home Depot and Walmart which hire many more people to walk the floors than are necessary which pads the employment numbers? And why do Home Depot and Lowes need self serve registers if there's so many people walking the floors? Couldn't a few of those people be manning registers to serve the customer? Anyways...I do remember during a few visits to northern Ohio several years back how many for sale signs were lining the streets in town. Lots. I don't think they were 'moving on up', but moving on out. |

Nothern Ohio generally votes Democrat, especially the mistake by the lake (Cleveland); Southern Ohio and the rural parts generally Republican. Central Ohio, somewhere inbetween, it is really what makes it a swing state. |

Yup, that's pretty much as I remember it from when I lived there 20+ years ago (political landscape). How are the unemployment rates in the red counties these days? |
