2. Great letter, good job. By the way, do you support Hackett over Brown?

3. I haven't decided at this point.

I need to study up on the positions of both candidates to make a comparison.

4. Let me elaborate on that a bit

I am particularly interested in what these two candidates plan to do in order to revitalize Appalachian Ohio. It truly makes me heartsick to see the continuing decay and increasing poverty in the southeastern part of the state. You want to see misery? Drive Route 52 from Portsmouth to Aberdeen and you'll see plenty. I want a candidate who will deliver more than lip service and empty promises!

I just visited Sherrod Brown's website and I have to say I'd have a little more faith that he even knows where southern Ohio is when "Cincinnati" isn't even spelled correctly. Sorry, but that's one of my pet peeves.
