She totally rules!

Take a look at his decision here. The suit was brought by the Obama campaign and the Ohio Democratic Party. Congratulations to all, and especially to Ohio voters. |

Just got home from work...what GREAT news to come home to!! This makes me feel SO much better about the possibility of getting the rest of these damn laws thrown out AND for November. We all know that there's no way R&R could beat Obama in a straight up vote, so they have to use all the dirty tricks money can buy. They were screwing up so badly, I was really beginning to think the fix was already in, so R&R figured they could say whatever they want to the crazies. This is so exciting!
