I don't feel like voting this election

Looks like Kasich won his home state convincingly.

A lot of Democrats that plan to vote for HRC in November crossed the aisle today to make sure Trump wouldn't take the state. I know a lot of my friends did; even my 84 year old father said he would do anything to block a Trump vote. The hashtag I am seeing all over Facebook is #NotInMyState

I wish I could remember the exact statistic but the last time a Republican won the Presidency without taking Ohio in the Primary was in 19xx (xx = a very long time ago)

1968, at the beginning of the modern concept of primary elections. (Jim Rhodes, who was Governor of Ohio at the time, so equally a favorite son)

But the fact is that the universe of (Republican elected, but doesn't win the nomination in a 35+ state walk) is pretty small. (prior to the 1960s things were fairly different).

What about the Senate and House races? Is anyone keeping a close eye on any races?

I'm interested to see if Nevada switches to GOP with Harry Reid's retirement. I think the GOP will still control the Senate. I'm thinking Loretta Sanchez will be elected to Barbara Boxer's seat in California.

I really hope Grassley from Iowa gets kicked to the curb. He's been a nightmare ever since the Clarence Thomas hearings. He sold out eons ago but Iowans are not big on change (in my entire lifetime there have been 4 governors - and I'm 50). So I'm hoping they suck it up and get him out of there this go round. I'd also like to see Roy Blunt of Missouri ousted but I personally despise the guy running against him so it's a choice between which sleazy gets it. But the new guy would at least be despicable on the left side of the aisle.
