This is nothing related to the Fostoria race, but I notice you have no link to Fred Thompson's site along the right-hand side of the blog. Seeing as how Tommy Thompson, who has dropped out, is there, you may want to make room for Fred. Just a suggestion ...

Hmm, no one answered. I find that extremely odd, but can only speculate as to the reasons why. You'd think at least one out of the four would want to get their views published.

Now, I don't delve too much into the Fostoria political climate, but I believe Davoli's the incumbent. If I had to make my picks for the election today, I'd be comfortable in saying he'd be re-elected. It's just a hunch. I don't have any data to back it up.
