From a regular reader in Ohio:
Dear Jonah,
You shouldn't draw too much aid and comfort from Steubenville, I'm afraid. This is where Kerry was ambushed by the Franciscan students six or so week's ago.....On the other hand, the "other Steubenville" that dominates the politics of the town has lots of the remnants of Union Steel groups, poor and minority groups on welfare won't demonstrate as much enthusiasm but will often troop out to the polls where they will pull the lever for democrats. Just because things look a certain way in Steubenville gives you little to no sense of Ohio as a whole - and probably no where does, since we are such a mish-mash of several major urban areas with lots of minorities and dem types but a very strong rural/small town section that is solidly red...
Yea, yea, I know, Jonah, you don't endorse the letters you choose. Call me unimpressed with your disclaimer. Surrogate racist.
