Driving through the OH River Valley

[jiacinto]

I am excited about tommorrow, for I will be driving through the key swing area in presidential elections--Congressional districts like OH-1, KY-3, KY-6, IN-9, and IN-8. What should I expect to learn? What things should I look for?

What is it about this region that makes it so politically volatile?

and thats the East Liverpool/Wellsville area we are snuggled up against the beautiful Ohio River. We were always famous for our pottery . Ever heard of Fiesta ware? Homer Laughlin right across the river in W Va. Hall China, Sterling China, TS and T china. Lots of potteries that are closing . Lots of mills that have closed. Pittsburgh and Youngstown are our nearest bigger cities. We have antique malls in E Liverpool you may wanna check out.
