The president’s State of the Union speech was perfectly tailored for the battleground state of Ohio. And rightfully so. While a win in Ohio doesn’t guarantee an occupation of the White House, no Republican has lost the state and won the presidency. The last Democrat to lose Ohio and win the presidency was John F.

by Phil Trexler 01.27.2012 Blog

It was brief, yet strong. Every available Akron police officer on Friday came outside the Stubb Justice Center on South High Street. They lined up along the street and saluted the passing casket inside a limo carrying the body of retired officer Frank Mancini.
