Flying back to DC for the vote was obviously the right thing to do for him. I just hope that the StimPak will be enough and be the right way to get things going. I’m cautiously optimistic, but also scared.

Maybe he just found out about the “State House” in Lorain

That is a really great metaphor for this photo. Even though I live in Virginia now (a state that’s very welcoming to business but still has its issues), I was proud of Sherrod for getting the job done.

RR – not only don’t you know what’s on his mind, you definitely don’t know what’s on my mind.

I don’t think “sad” at all when I see this photo. I think carrying a big burden, loss, searching, exhaustion, and determination of going to do what one has to do – which by the way is the way in which Sen. Brown’s mother has been portrayed.

Here’s a great article on that:

Oh Jill. Get real. The man just lost his mother. Of course he is going to look sad. Who wouldn’t. I doubt that he had Ohio’s feelings on his mind when the picture was snapped. Of course, you liberals are all about feelings and not too much on logic.

Further, I don’t think the man has ever owned a hair brush.

One more thing. I just love the way you liberals always mention the past stupidity of some in the Ohio GOP in the past decade as some sort of reason for the Dems to continue with stupid policies that continues Ohio’s problems. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

However, Ohio is not getting any better under Governor Ted.

No question. Voino, Taft, GOP legislature – disasters.

Jeff – that would be the decades-long that the GOP was in charge of both Ohio and the US, right?

Tough times for Ohio, no question. We’re paying a heavy price for having made our state so hostile to capital and capitalists relative to others.

Would that Brown were committed to reversing this decades-long trend.
