I'm guessing that in two years it will have diminished nationally as well. Much to the chagrin of those who have so actively and aggressively opposed Obama, things are bound to improve and more Americans will start to experience the benefit of some of the programs that Obama and his folks have enacted and like it or not, those people will vote in droves. Someone should tell whoever it is that keeps posting that 17% lead for Kasich, that the current numbers don't even come close to that any more.

"The Gallup high turnout and low turnout numbers suggest it looks like 1894, when Republicans gained more than 100 seats in a House of approximately 350 seats."

Taxes Have Been Cut By $1.8 Billon Under Ted Strickland. IAccording to the Department of Taxation, "Once corporations file 2009 franchise tax returns... the vast majority of them will be done with the tax for good...Overall, these and other tax changes contained within House Bill 66 represent a net annual tax cut of about $1.8 billion annually starting in fiscal year 2010." [Department of Taxation, 10/14/2009]

Ohio Ranked In Top Ten For Economic Growth. A Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank study found that in the second quarter of 2010, Ohio has the 6th fastest growing economy in the nation. [Reed Construction Data, 8/3/2009, Philadelphia Federal Reserve]

One of Governor Strickland’s first actions in 2007 was to pass and sign a two-year balanced budget, without a tax increase. In 2009, he did it again, despite facing our nation’s worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. How’d he do it? By being determined to make state government live within its means and invest in what truly matters most.

As the economic crisis began, the governor made difficult decisions to reduce his original budget by more than $2 billion – eliminating more than 3,000 positions across state government. With the help of his cabinet, he found ways to provide services to the people of Ohio more effectively and more efficiently. He did this while funding a property tax cut for all senior citizen homeowners in Ohio, a two-year tuition freeze at state colleges and universities, expanded child health care and increased investments in job creation and alternative energy.

This year, the governor did it again. He balanced the 2010/2011 budget and did it without tax increases. Just as importantly, the budget includes an unprecedented investment in reforming K-12 education in Ohio and making our colleges and universities among the best in the nation. The budget also expands health care eligibility to an additional 109,000 Ohioans. Finally, the budget includes new job-creation tax credits and holds down tuition increases at state colleges and universities.
