Eleven days from today, the polls open. Eleven days from today, a small minority of Ohioans will decide the political landscape of Ohio for years to come.
How small a minority? Voter turnout for the last gubernatorial election-year primary in Ohio was just 19% of registered voters (1.35 million). When one considers that the number of hunters, sportsmen, CHL-holders, NRA members, Buckeye Firearms Association donors and Second Amendment supporters in Ohio approaches 1 million strong, the impact that gun owners can have on a primary election cannot be overstated.

In the gubernatorial race, the outcome is already certain when it comes to the Republican primary. No matter who wins between Jim Petro and Ken Blackwell, gun owners win. But in the Democrat primary, your vote is needed to ensure that NRA "A"-rated Ted Strickland is the victor. After eight years of Bob Taft, how refreshing will it be to enter the voting booth next fall and see pro-gun candidates on both sides of the gubernatorial ballot?
