Ohio's Democratic candidates are grabbing a lot of attention with Ohio voters. Ohioans are looking for candidates to pull the state, the nation, and their local communities out of the economic funk and scandal-plagued Republican Party control. 
According to people I've talked to, many people will vote for a straight Democratic ticket this election.  Why?  The Republican scandals have turned off many people.  Voters hope that with a fresh group of Democrats elected, local, state, and federal governments will actually get something done.  Wouldn't that be great?
