Ohio: You'll Stop Caring About Us Tomorrow

Ohioans, brace yourselves: today is the last day of election propaganda. As perhaps the pivotal swing state in this 2012 election (and in most presidential elections), all eyes are on us.

Tomorrow the country will decide who will be our next president, and by the country I mean the United States of Flohiowa.

If you're like me, I know you're probably sick of all the political ads, robo-calls, campaign signs, and social media posts. In Ohio, I would argue we're targeted moreso than any other state in the nation --which can be, quite frankly, draining.

Instead of seeing this as a bad thing (aside from the negative ads and mud-slinging commercials) I think we should view ourselves as almost lucky. 

President Obama came to Springfield, OH last week to campaign -- a place no one generally thinks twice about. Governor Mitt Romney visited Defiance, OH, my hometown of 17,000 on his campaign trail -- a place no one thinks once about.

People in Ohio are getting to witness history-in-the-making first hand and we should feel privileged to have had so many opportunities to see the presidential candidates.

One Ohioan took her family to see Mitt Romney and she said this:

"Living here in Ohio has afforded my kids the opportunity to see our whole political process in action. I hope that no matter whom they decide to vote for when they get older, they understand the process and the importance of becoming involved in the issues that affect our country."

Plus, with the nation's eyes on us, it's like being the prettiest girl at the dance.
