Letter sounds like 'sour grapes' to me
I just received (here in Florida) the December 2nd edition of the Expositor and was disturbed with the sour grape, poor me, attitude of Mr. Pilliod, losing candidate for the 74th Ohio House seat.
Mr. Pilliod apparently did not want to check that the county is almost half independent, the rest a ...

Permanent public payroll Republicans
When FDR ushered in the alphabet soup of government agencies, that would become the backbone of the New Deal, a 75-year debate has raged as to the role and scale of government in people's lives. Not anymore. George W. Bush has expanded the size and role of government like no president since FDR.
