Could Democrats Win Control of the Ohio Legislature?

> With the election just one week away, it is fair to ponder whether Democrats could win control of the Ohio House and the Ohio Senate. Term limits have stopped some powerful Republicans from running again. In some areas, Democrats have made some significant inroads in previously Republican strongholds. Also, the Obama-Biden campaign has a presence in all 88 counties and their work will definitely benefit other Democrats. For real change, vote Democratic.

> Swing State Project has the results of a new poll and it looks great for Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy, candidate for Ohio's 15th congressional district:

SurveyUSA (10/25-26, likely voters, 9/19-21 in parens):
Mary Jo Kilroy (D): 47 (47)
Steve Stivers (R): 41 (42)
Don Eckhart (I): 6 (5)
Mark Noble (L): 2 (3)
(MoE: ±4%)

...A full 37% of likely voters say that they have already voted, and of that group, Kilroy leads by 54-38. That's an awful lot of ground for Stivers to make up on election day.


No matter what the polls are indicating now, get out there and vote!!!!
