Ohio Town's Democrats See 'Hope' Differently

Politics – Can grandiose visions of hope and change resonate in places where change -- in this case economic change -- has brought housing foreclosures and economic ruin, where hope means avoiding another round of layoffs? Can a candidate whose support has been based on African Americans and upper-middle-class whites transcend class and race in places where r

Many people vote the same party over, and over hoping for new people to bring in better times. If Ohio voted for Barak Obama I would be very surprised.

I wouldn't vote for someone I don't know at least a little bit. Those that vote precisely on the color of ones skin or the sex of a person should not be considered intelligent and their vote not counted. Think of the issues, the way they have voted in congress. And not just on a specific bill but all of them. How secure is your job? If liberals get in will ILLEGAL INVADERS be made legal .How will they contend for your job? Can you then afford to give more of your hard earned money to Africa's poor? Can you afford to pay more taxes? Well I can't. Are you prepared to be the next poor third world country? Well I'm not.

If these two candidates came to me for a job, ( which I consider running for President to be ) I would look at the two resumes that they passed across my desk, and hire Hillary Rodham Clinton.

I HOPE this election isn't already won. If we listen to the news media it is and Obama is the winner. The media loves him. Brian Williams from NBC news admitted he can't help but be bias in favor of Obama.

Evidently they aren't concerned about his wanting to increase taxes to pay for Obama's bill to the tune of $845 billion more for global poverty.

Where hope comes in for me is I hope I don't end up in the Global poverty level after his tax hike wipes out middle class america.

They will only raise taxes on the group whose jobs are being exported, there will be no increase on the people who could afford it. There will be a day of reckoning in the not too distant future when our suppliers come for their property.

For the U.S. to have a viable future we must restart our industrial-manufacturing industry.

Stop using food for fuel or lower and middle income people will start to go hungry. All this boondogle has acomplished is raising the price of grain till the feedlots and cattle producers will have to raise prices. A no win situation...

you should read the rest of his "economic" plan. This is a different one than what I found earlier, and some of the sites "aren't available"

http://www.barackobama.com/issues/pdf/PovertyFa...

this one is a little different http://www.barackobama.com/issues/poverty/

it includes "Establish 20 Promise Neighborhoods: Obama will create 20 Promise Neighborhoods in areas that have high levels of poverty and crime and low levels of student academic achievement in cities across the nation. The Promise Neighborhoods will be modeled after the Harlem Children's Zone, which provides a full network of services, including early childhood education, youth violence prevention efforts and after-school activities, to an entire neighborhood from birth to college."

Polls here in Ohio show Hillary has a sizable lead.You may have heard the saying "As Ohio goes so does the nation." I don't know about that but Ohio really is sort of a blend of all opinions of the nation and will be something an indicator on our primary day.

But of course things change.
