Can someone who knows Ohio answer a few questions?

[Onlooker]

Since there's an outside chance that Ohio could be back in play, I was wondering if someone could tell me:

- Who are the most powerful Democrats in Ohio? Are any of them saying anything?
- Are there any beloved celebrities who are speaking up?
- What is the makeup of the Ohio Supreme Court, not only in terms of political affiliation, but in terms of honesty?
- Is there "increased chatter" about the election results? Are people in Ohio starting to question the results?
- Do you think Ohio is as corrupt as Florida? Or is there a chance the truth will prevail?

Thanks.

1. With billions of dollars involved

any state can be corrupt.

2. a response from NE Ohio

Most powerful dems are probably retired, like John Glenn. The Repubs have a near total lock on the state offices, supreme court, house and senate. This story is not making the local news. Since the counting of absentee and provisional ballots is a biparty affair there is little chance that when all is said and done that any dem on the state level will cry 'corruption!'. Most of the state votes with punch cards, those counties that have electronic voting do not use Diebold, except maybe for one county. Ohio is lost for Kerry.
