WASHINGTON - With Republicans nationally quaking in their boots over control of the House and Senate in this fall's midterm elections, there is one potential bright spot on the horizon for the GOP.

It comes in the form of a gubernatorial race in the battleground state of Ohio - yes, that Ohio, the one Democrats still accuse Republicans of stealing in 2004. Meet Kenneth Blackwell, the secretary of state and a candidate for the highest office in Ohio - a conservative black official and proven statewide vote-getter.

VOTERS should join scores of businesses, education advocates, preschools, legislators and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in turning down Rob Reiner's Proposition 82 that proposes to tax the rich to provide free preschool for wealthy and middle-class kids.

That's right, while proponents say the Universal Preschool for All Act is necessary to give impoverished youngsters access to quality preschool, analysts say middle-class parents will most likely be the main users of the free half-day sessions. Poor children are already afforded preschool through Head Start and other programs. The wealthy, of course, need no subsidies.

Preschool initiative amounts to welfare for middle-class parents. Voters in the June 6 primary should vote "no" on Prop. 82 and let parents meet their own obligations without subsidies.

Proponents of Proposition 82 want the state to do what parents should: care for their children. The most fiscally dangerous political initiative to emerge from Hollywood director Rob Reiner's rather generous cranium in recent years seeks to pay for the preschool education of every child â€" even those whose parents can afford it on their own.

HOUSTON - Embattled U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay won handily in the Republican primary for his congressional seat on Tuesday, taking 61 percent of the votes against three opponents.

The race had been seen as a barometer of his political strength since he resigned as House majority leader following indictment in Texas on campaign finance charges and his friendlobbyist Jack Abramoff was indicted in a Washington corruption scandal. DeLay skipped his election night party to attend a fund-raiser in Washington put on by lobbyists.

A Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Ohio wants to make homosexual behavior a capital crime punishable by the death penalty.

"Just like we have laws against murder, we have laws against stealing, we have laws against taking drugs - we should have laws against immoral conduct," Keiser told WTOL-TV in Toledo. Keiser, 61, says he's running as a Democrat because that's how he was registered the last time he voted.

Last week, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed a two-part minimum wage increase for the state, which already has a $6.75 per hour minimum wage.

Under the proposal, the minimum wage would rise to $7.25 in September 2006, and to $7.75 in July 2007. The proposal, though, ignores a basic law of economics: that of supply and demand. When the minimum wage goes up, jobs will go down. Libertarian Party of California chairman Aaron Starr had harsh words for the proposal: "Economically illiterate."

California voters were rejecting Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's special election agenda Tuesday, handing the governor a humbling loss after he gambled on a high-stakes plan to reshape state government.

With more than three-quarters of the votes counted, the four initiatives that Schwarzenegger said were needed to reform California were all losing. The centerpiece of the governor's agenda, Proposition 76, which would limit state spending, was trailing badly.

The Just Issued Bi-Partisan GAO and Carter-Baker Reports are Correct: Electronic Voting Machines Are Poorly Designed, not Secure and easily Hacked. Your Vote May NOT Be Counted!

Four of America's Leading Academic Experts in Computer Science and Voting machines offer the following pre-emptive emergency advice. The GAO issued a strongly worded indictment against electronic voting machines used in the 2004 elections, the same ones that will be used tomorrow in elections in California and around the country.

Nazi Schwarzenegger is predicting an "upset victory" for his fascist initiatives, Props 73 through 78.

Considering he is very unpopular, and his initiatives are either clearly losing or at the 50% disappearing edge, this can only mean that his thugs will be committing election fraud, just as his mentor, Pres Bush did, in 2000 and 2004.

Some Amish citizens in rural Geauga County, located near Cleveland, USA, have taken the unusual step of entering politics in local elections, even though their faith normally means that they avoid direct engagement with outside society and modern life.

At issue is a zoning restriction which prevents home-based businesses greater than 1,000-square feet (92.9 square metres) in size. Arguing that Huntsburg Township's zoning laws are preventing them from opening woodworking shops on their farms at a time when agriculture is losing its profitability, some Amish are campaigning to end all zoning restrictions in the settlement in the US state of Ohio by taking part in an 8 November 2005 local election.
