WAS OHIO A WARNING FOR REPUBLICANS?


The 2011 elections: A split decision

The 2011 off-year elections are a warning to Republicans. The 2010 party is over. 2012 will be a struggle.
To be sure, Tuesday was not exactly the Democrats’ night. They did enjoy one big victory, repeal of government-worker reform in Ohio. But elsewhere, they barely held their own. The bigger news was the absence of any major Republican trend. The great Republican resurgence of 2009-10 has slowed to a crawl.
