CINCINNATI - Local CityBeat Editor John Fox received a Democratic Party Voter Guide in the mail on October 20th, which he later praised as "a real time-saver" when it came time to write up the all-Democrat endorsement bonanza in the October 25th issue. 

Then on October 30th, Fox received a Democratic Party Sample Ballot in the mail -  this time there were even more Democrats listed.

"I realize we had already published our endorsements, but I didn't want anyone to feel left out," said Fox, after publishing the next CityBeat all-Democrat endorsement bonanza in the November 1st issue.

After he saw there was "No Endorsement" for his seat, Local 32nd District State Representative Dale Mallory reportedly called Ohio Democratic Headquarters to make sure his name was being printed on their sample ballots.   This was clearly a missed opportunity for Mallory's opponent, Republican Kim Hale, since the Ohio Republican Party had not sent a Sample Ballot to John Fox's house.
