Too Much Cincinnati On Hillary's Ohio Website? That's What BSB Seems To Think


CINCINNATI (TDB) -- OK, so there's a bridge over the Ohio River and a bit of Cincinnati's downtown skyline in the banner (shown above) from Hillary's Ohio page. But it is the OHIO River in that picture -- a waterway that gave the state its name. And the bridge was built by John Augustus Roebling, who went on to build the Brooklyn Bridge with his son. The Brooklyn Bridge happens to be in New York City, in the state that Sen. Clinton represents in Washington, DC.

That said, it's not clear where the grist mill is located. Could be somewhere in NW Ohio, or NE Ohio -- where Buckeye State Blog pointedly notes most of the state's Dems are located. Supposedly, it's a slight to Democrat-rich NE Ohio that that Cincy gets play on Hillary's page. The gripe: The city is supposed to be conservative and Republican.

Wrong, Buckeye. Cincinnati's mayor is a Democrat, as is the council majority. Two of the three Hamilton County commissioners are Dems. True, the county normally votes R (the city votes D) but Hillary may be doing her part to bring about change. She may be trying to ease it from the right side -- where it now is displayed on her banner -- to the middle by November.

As to the red barn in the middle of the banner, that looks like somewhere in Central Ohio. The land along the Ohio River is just not that flat.
