In the comment thread of one of today's earlier posts, I was asked what it's like to be living in Ohio right now, i.e., in the thick of election season, when many people seem to be of the opinion that Ohio is likely to be a state (if not the state) that helps decide the 2012 election. I can't speak for the entire state, but I can tell you a little bit of my experience of it.
"Carpetbombed" is why I love Scalzi.
