Its about time people wake up and realize that all they are offering is welfare. Thats not what any self-respecting human being wants. They want jobs. Ohio's tax laws are not business friendly. Obama's plan is not business friendly. Obama wants the Government to own your business, health care, and take away your freedoms. He has declared war on the insurance industry. Columbus people are very dependent on the Insuranse and banking industry for jobs. Obama would like to destroy or take over these industries. Wake up Ohio or this idiot will have everyone of you on welfare.

Poor Ted. Made too many promises that were impossible to keep. Partly because of the economy, and partly because any meaningful reform requires a full-restructuring of state government...something the unions will never allow.

Ted is only 48% That seems a bit high. I thought he'd be in the single digits by now. Ted Sucks, and Obama Sucks on a National level.

Hey ted didn't you promise to turn around Ohio when you were first elected? Sounds like you are doing one heck of a job. How many taxes (fees) did you raise.?

I agree 100% and the general population votes for these people. We need better people to run for office.

Rasmussen's latest poll this week states that 62% of Americans say that America is heading in the WRONG direction. That is virtually the same as the figure in Bush's last month. Obviously people are not pleased with this so-called "change".

I want to know how the state intends to pay for the rail system they plan to build from Cleve to Cinc! Every rail system in the United States is a money pit! What makes our politicians think ours will be different?

Another nail in the incumbents coffin!

Funny thing about contempt. Previous presidents would hide it by not vetoing onerous laws but O-rama brings it right out in the open and stabs it right into the place where everyone will feel it. In the wallet via the bankster bailout.

Then to pack the re-distributionist junta in the White House of Czars he goes to the post office, snags the most wanted list of marxists and hires them. Next thing you know, railcars full of currency are being off-loaded in ACORN offices and big union shops in tha major cities.

Now if one is larcenous by nature, then this is popular. If one is not, then it is unpopular. It is too bad Gov. Ted is getting slimed with anti-incumbent dislike because Taft was a real floater more at home in the water treatment plant than the gov's mansion.

I'm very bitterly disappointed in Strickland and will not be supporting him next year. He evidently has no idea at all what to do as Governor and lets the lobbyists run the state and all the state agencies like the PUCO, Agriculture, ODNR, OEPA, and all the others that are supposed to have a public mission. I forget him for weeks at a time and don't miss a thing; he is just the third term of Bob Taft's Administration. If I wanted a corporate prostitute for governor, I would go for a pro and vote Republican. Who needs a Democrat that's a corporate prostitute, Ted?

This is one of the few reasons I can't stand ohioans... Anyway, President Obama at 52% is still way higher than Bush in his last 3 years... It will raise again.

Democrats are usually just union prostitutes.

It seems those that fell for the Obama/Strickland line of B.S., and voted for them, are beginning to realize just what they have done to themselves!

Obama is trying to buy himself votes using your money to give away health insurance to uninsured people. When did the US become a welfare nation?
