Oct 2012

I live quite near the junction of northeast columbus and westerville (Rmoney has spoken there at least 2 times that i know of). Some of the neighborhood kids go to W'ville school district(more property tax money+better school reputation) and some go to the C'bus school district (bad rep+low graduation rates). I walked my dog yesterday, a long walk in the neighborhood of Otterbein College (the location where he told students to borrow money from their parents). I didn't see but one Rmoney sign, at least 5 mandel for senate signs and a few local congress creep (Pat Tiberi-Repulsive troll). I did see at least 5 Obama and 4 Sherrod Brown for US senate. This is the town the freaking governor Kasich lives. Todays' morning walk was more in my neighborhood park. No Rmoney, no Mandel signs 2 Obama and 2 Sherrod Brown signs. May the conversation be so....
