However, in Ohio's 2006 gubernatorial election, Hancock County, where Findlay is located, voted 55 percent for Kenneth Blackwell (Republican and African American) over Ted Strickland (Democrat and white). But Mr. Strickland won the statewide election with 60 percent of the vote. Where was the article about bigotry in the Rust Belt during that election? Or was Ohio somehow more "enlightened" to vote for a white Democrat over an African American Republican?

I read these comments from a man in Findlay, Ohio, with disbelief: "I think Obama would be a disaster, and there's a lot of reasons. I understand he's from Africa, and that the first thing he's going to do if he gets into office is bring his family over here, illegally. He's got that racist [pastor] who practically raised him, and then there's the Muslim thing. He's just not presidential material, if you ask me."
Not a word of truth. Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, did not meet the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. until he was in his mid-20s and is a Christian. Rather than require a photo ID for voting, maybe we should require an IQ test.
