The only disappointments I have here in Ohio is that punk DeWine getting his lame ass back on the government payroll (State AG) and a local race where a county commissioner we're very fond of in my house due to her efforts related to dog rescue work lost (she's a democrat I voted for enthusiastically, btw).
Owe-bama won't win Ohio in 2012 now. Which means a couple of things.
1) He won't get a 2nd term. That alone is a blessing.
2) The Democrats will have one helluva Civil War beginning very very soon, as Bayh gears up for a primary challenge to a seated Dem POTUS. I think Hillary Clinton will soon resign as Secretary of State - by the end of June - so she can also mount a challenge.
About today's speech by Owe-bama...remember Krauthammer's warning.
'Don't listen to what he says, watch what he does.'

I don't believe that anyone seriously will challenge Obama for one reason -- he is black. If Obama got a serious primary challenger who actually beat him, the Democrat party would blow itself apart.
A more likely scenario is that someone from the left (Russ Fiengold) will run as an independent, claiming that Obama was not left-wing enough on healthcare and defense.
