Surprised at the lack of coverage of Ron Paul , who has a run of solid numbers in terms of votes , if not delegates . Whoever gets the nomination may well need to strike some accomodation with the extremely dedicated Paul activists & funders to ensure victory against Obama .

I'm disappointed with this response from Romney . I know he can do better .

“The places where I campaigned actively, we got actually in some respects record support from the conservative base.”

It sounds too much like an excuse that wouldn't wash if he were explaining any defeat in the Presidential contest in November

If a candidate knows he can win in an area just by doing the campaigning , then why didn't he do the campaigning in that area ?

Your photos are of the worst examples of abandonment They are far from typical . . If you see more vacant lots , its probably because the blighted buildings on them have been demolished . I would have considered that a good thing . I've seen several years-vacant houses renovated with private money & let to working tenants , some from outside Youngstown . In most of Youngstown,if there's an active neighborhood group & the houses are rehabbed to modern standards , there's no shortage of such tenants , because they pay about 25% + less rent than in the suburbs .

The Neighborhood development Corporation is making some sound achievements as well

I understand that for people who watched helplessly as Youngstown declined over decades & grasped at straws periodically , they may take convincing that this time the recovery really has legs. Time will tell .

These supermarkets will make the neighborhoods stronger & safer , by making wholesome food & fresh produce available . Poor nutrition explains a lot of behavioural problems & sickness that results in being without work . The supermarkets will also attract even more working residents to live in Youngstown . A lot of negative comment comes from people who may have seen Youngstgown at its worst - may even have lived there & escaped to the suburbs - but need to go back & see for themselves how much things have changed in the last year or two .

Whatever happened to the principle of double jeopardy ?
The state should not be able to keep on trying someone until it gets the result it wants .I'm amazed there have been 5 trials & that , after 2 hung juries , someone is proposing a 6th trial .

Atty. Thomas E. Zena is obviously going to be in demand for these type of cases .

Obviously , the nephew was hit , otherwise he wouldn't be in hospital . However , lets leave the issue of culpability to investigators , judges & juries . Life is too short to be a kneejerk armchair critic .

Helen Prejeans , author of "Dead Man Walking" has pointed out for years that there is no consistent standard among prosecutors for seeking the death penalty for similar crimes all over the country , not just Ohio . This makes for an arbitrary law .

Most of the abor force participation rate movements are just a reflection of demographics . They started rising about 1968 as increasing numbers of the huge baby boom generation entered the workforce & declined after 2003 as they started leaving the workforce . Generations X & Y have been smaller in number ; so the decline will continue .
