I canvassed in Ohio back in 1968 when it was leaning toward Nixon. I believe that all states have substantial minorities who dissent from the leading opinion. The ones where the margin is close are more interesting.

Today the pollsters have thrown Ohio to Bush. I'm not shocked. It's exemplary of the division of the nation and how quickly our sense of "leadership" changes from day to day.

I wouldn't vote for George Bush if he caught Bin Laden tomorrow. He's never appealed to me, nor does the platform of his party. But I'm used to being a dissenting voice in an apethetic deteriorating society.

I expect it to stay that way somewhat no matter who sways the majority. Those "swing states" are important. Don't count your chickens. The one thing in life that's certain is change.
