It has three large population centers plus at least a half dozen more medium sized ones most of which have large minority populations. Throw in a few well-off socially liberal whites in Cleveland and a not-dead Democratic labor base in Youngstown and Toledo and along the Ohio River, and you have a state that manages to nearly cancel out its natural rural and suburban Republican leaning.

The other main area of Democratic support today is Columbus, which is the closest thing Ohio has to a young, hip, socially liberal city.

I thought that was Athens? Wink
