The swing state of Ohio will vote tomorrow on a ballot measure to decide whether or not to cancel SB5, the anti- public sector union law passed last year by the Republican legislature, and signed by Gov Kaisich.
The measure, called "Issue 2" on the Ohio ballot, is written in such a way that a "yes" vote affirms the law, and a "no" vote cancels it.
The latest polls show Ohioan's prepared to vote no by a margin of nearly 2 to 1! This, dispite the millions of dollars dumped into the campaign by the Usual Suspects (the Koch Bros, Karl Rove, Americans for Prosperity, Citizens United, et al ad nauseum...)
SB5 was boiler-plate legislation right out of the ALEC corporate playbook, such as was passed in Wisconsin, and several other Red States.
Ohio is considered a bellweather state. A defeat of Issue 2 tomorrow in Ohio will be a victory for unions and the middle class, and will indicate America may be on the path in 2012 to roll back the Red Tide

A victory will also seal the deal on the public sector unions demise.
The state will be bankrupt (as well as most of the municipalities) and all contracted pensions and benefits will become null and void.
I am praying for that! It may just save the rest of the nation.

The tide is turning. People are waking up to the rigid, untenable ideology they elected in 2010. The upcoming election will look nothing like the last one.

The election for issue 2 is Tuesday, not Monday. Actually, the OP is right--the latest polls show that 57 % support repealing Senate Bill 5, with only 32% supporting it. It will be interesting to see what kind of voter turn out they get, and how close the real numbers are to the polling. The law goes even further than Wisconsin, and among other things, completely eliminates collective bargaining for police and firefighters. If it's close I don't think it will tell much, but if the law is defeated by a wide margin it may put a number of states on notice that the tea party has done some serious overreaching, and it's not going over well with voters. We'll see.
