waiting for all the state's assests to go up for sale on E-Bay after Kasich is sworn in.....

We paid for those highways through our road and gasoline taxes, the government didn't give them to us. We have just decided through our vote for Kascich that we don't want to pay for passenger rail, that most of us won't use.

In regards to the rail system, if free enterprise determines that it is not a good risk on return, the money should go back to the taxpayers government.

I can agree with that, when we privatize the interstate highway system as well.

For the next two years we here in the 17th Congressional District can expect to see the amount of pork we receive cut in half (if not more), and I predict that we will see our congressional district changed when it comes time for the redistricting process to occur.

As for state money coming in, look for that to be cut in half if not more ... "to the victor come the spoils ... and the valley was not in the victor column yesterday.


Considering Kasich's platform, I don't see why the MV will be any different from any other part of the state in this.  After all, he wants to give $400 million back to the federal gov't, killing the 3C passenger rail project.

To a certain extent we can thank Dave Betras and Bruce Zoldan for that.  Glad to see that they made such an issue of Humphries backing Kasich. Im sure the Valley is on the Gov's radar now. Nice. Good Job Boys!

How did Dennis do state-wide?

I'm not looking for any legislative victories from the new congress.  What I am looking for is extreme gridlock.  NO legislation from Congress is the best thing that can happen at this time.

Tea Party candidates are winning, and the main street pundits are flabbergasted over it.

Throughout the campaign they were putting the Tea Party down and resorted to name calling and outright slanders, but now they have to eat crow and its sticking in their throats.

Republicans gain control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Kasich winning in Ohio.
