So in her speech last night [1], Senator Hillary Clinton mentioned a number of states that helped carry her along on her quest for the Democratic nomination. She mentioned "the hills of New Hampshire", "the fields of California", "the hollows of West Virginia" and ... "the factories of Ohio"?

Thanks Hillary. Way to sell our state. I'm going to go step outside and take a deep breath of fresh smog now ...

Ohio has plenty more to offer than the rust belt. I don't have time to go into a full blown advocacy piece, but we have the natural beauty of Hocking Hills, some great colleges and universities, some cutting edge tech companies, etc.

So thanks again Hillary - glad you lost.
