HAMILTON COUNTY -  On Election Day, Ohio Democrats didn't quite achieve a complete sweep of the statewide offices. The closely-watched run for State Auditor's office between Republican Mary Taylor and Democrat Barbara Sykes ended with a loss for Sykes. Taylor was partly buoyed by landfall support in Hamilton County, a stronghold for Hot Conservative Accountant MILFs. 

Taylor received more Election Day votes in Hamilton County than every other politician running opposed, county-wide.  She even beat several judges who were running unopposed  (those rectangles take a long time to black out with a ballpoint pen).

This year, Mary Taylor wasn't just Hamilton County's favorite Republican, but our favorite politician, period.   In the annual County popularity contest, she easily crushed the big-name competition of Pepper, DeWine, Blackwell, Brown, Strickland, and Heimlich, a piece of trivia that should make Little Miss Popularity smile while she's crunching numbers in Columbus.
