and if anyone wants to argue with that opinion of the people of the state of ohio, they can do it at ballot box. but i find it interesting that the proponents of same-sex marriage could not get on the same page, could not put an issue on the ballot before the people in the state of ohio and give the people the right to reaffirm their 2004 decision or change it. so we invite that debate, that discussion because i believe that the popular will of the people of the state of ohio is in fact still the same. >> governor strickland, you look at the poll numbers. why not take secretary of state blackwell up on that offer, organize democrats, get it on the ballot box. >> we will. >> that's your plan? >> absolutely. the signatures will be collected, we'll take it to the people. >> and should that be the way to resolve this? mr. blackwell thinks it should be resolved that way. do you think it should be resolved that way? >> that's one way. but i also believe what the federal courts have said thus far leads us to the legitimate conclusion that this is discrimination, it's inconsistent with our co

it was very much a group of your typical swing voters of ohio. interesting was they all cited two things to me that seemed to be at the core of maybe where ohio is going politically. one is they all said they thought the economy was recovering. they were feeling much better about the real estate market, much better about the economy and they were all still very angry about nafta. that surprised me more than anything that nafta still had this resonance 20 years later in ohio. many many ways i thought they were blaming nafta on ohio's mixed economy over the last two decades. >> well, sure. because what happened when nafta was passed, we lost a lot of manufacturing jobs. they went to mexico and to china. and you are going to hear that because we are still very much a working class state and big chunks of this -- i come from that. i come from ashtabula county. i'd be curious about the gender breakdown in that focus group as well. because it's not just men who used to be able to make a living who will say that sort of thing or who had family members,

another one is jcpenney, this matters now to steven davidoff of ohio state university. alibaba. to turncorporations do around. jcpenney is an example. what is the best practice for a company like jcpenney? >> jcpenney is in a hole. funds,a toy of the hedge pershing square. it is trying to recover. it was not -- it is not even back to where it was before. in retail everything is tough. it is hard to stand out. jcpenney might bring back customers, but where does it go? do we treatar," ceos, whether myrion ullman or les moonves, do we treat these people like gods? >> there is a lot of hubris. >> fevwer is beginning. >> markets are bubbling. ceos would do well to take a step back and see what they are doing and think before they plunge ahead. >> maybe not in columbus, ohio. the idea of outside of ohio. 50 miles -- is there any reattachment to wall street? is there still an anger about the financial crisis? >> i am a buckeye fan. people are still struggling. ohio, ort is columbus, elsewhere. once you get outside the coast. the middle-class has not recovered. and still -- unti

. >> we are following breaking news coming out of ohio. here are reports of an active shooter at the veterans medical center in dayton. hospital is in lock down. they do not say if shots were fired. we'll bring you more information as it becomes available. making news this hour. the armed radical group boko haram, taking are responsibility for the kidnapped girtle. he is now threatening to sell them as slaves. in afghanistan, some family members still digging for survivors after that mudslide that killed hundreds of people. but the government says the area will now become a mass grave that mudslide happened in the village of avi barik on friday. >>> aa fast-moving wildfire has killed one person forcing a thousand others from their homes. that fire which has bender 3,000 acres was supposed to be a controlled burn. >>> in the age of smartphones and google the performing arts i.t. would be safe to say has taken a hit. after all you don't see kids with violins attached to their ear buds but in miami there is one group trying to bring classical

with any of your constituents whatsoever. did you go to lorraine, ohio, where a crisis is unfolding? no. he didn't do any of that. our politicians are bought and paid for and they don't give a damn about middle class jobs. the democrats, of course, are not in power. if they were, i'm confident they'd do something about it. the democrats have been jet streaming about make it in america for years. they get no help from the republicans. the republicans want the free market to take over. do you want your kids' school bus going across that newly-reconstructed bridge with china steel or american steel? do you even care? do you even care about american jobs? we have some real fundamental issues in this country that need to be addressed. we could talk about investment. but what we need to talk about, really, is trade agreements that are getting our entire economy and it's going to get to every sector of the economy. this steel that's coming into the united states is going to end up in the energy sector in a big, big way. this steel that's coming in will end up g

>> severe storms wreaked havoc in parts of ohio recently. tornadoes even touched down in some areas. an i-reporter for whio captured this moment. >> oh, my gosh. >> as you know, when storms are in an area the work of a meteorologist is never done. and at whio meteorologist rich wordsic was out to cover the tornado to survey the damage. here is one of his reports. >> you can see pieces of the house wrapped in the trees themselves. >> but, rich not just a meteorologist. now, i think rich can also be known as a hero. look what he found. >> hey, buddy. you okay? >> do you hear that? he was out looking at some of the damage, heard the meows of a cat, a kitten. rich was going to spring into action, he goes in and rescues this poor little kitten. >> hey. >> that is heart breaking. i hate to see this. but rich is there and thank goodness he was and he did hear the sounds because he -- you can hear in his voice, in the video, it is kind and gentle and helps this cat. >> going to get you some more -- >> in fact, wrap the cat in a jacket and warms the c

in the "crossfire," ted strickland, a one-time democratic governor of ohio. and former republican presidential candidate rick santorum. the author of "blue collar conservatives." how much trouble is ahead for democrats? are republicans their own worst enemy? tonight, on "crossfire." >>> welcome to "crossfire." i'm newt gingrich on the right. >> i'm van jones on the left. in "crossfire" tonight we have two big voices for each party. now, look, the republicans have just drooling over today's brand new poll numbers. they include some of these numbers that just got released by cnn. the gop looks like it's edging out democrats on a generic ballot, 46% to 45%. scary remembrances of 2010. now the president's approval rating remains stubbornly stuck at 43%. now, everybody sitting there thinking, though, that 2014 is going to be a simple replay of 2010 needs to remember one thing. we're democrats, and we remember 2010, too. we've learned our lessons and let me just say we've made a few adjustments. so, republicans may have big momentum. the koch brothers may have given

to be horrible, maybe isolated tornado or two, but if you're in the yellow from pittsburgh to much of ohiole, nashville, back into areas of alabama and mississippi, we will see a chance of some isolated strong thunderstorms today. forecast for the eastern seaboard. cooler today in d.c. 79 offer that 92 yesterday. but yeah, kind of extreme out there. you know, we'd like to level things out a little bit. >> really has been nice for us, but it is surprising to see those temperatures for southern california, especially san diego. all right, bill, thank you, sir. appreciate it. >>> coming up at the top of the hour on "morning joe," karl rove explains his brain damage remarks about hillary clinton. how he managed to backtrack and double down all in one statement. pretty crafty right there. >>> when we come back here, we'll huddle around the water cooler. the bouncy house that went from a good time to a truly scary scene. that's the bouncy house, yeah. what led to this photo? and kids are in inside. >> get out of here. >> yeah. ride of their life. we're back with much more after this. i dbefore i

of the republican party. quote, on tuesday southwest ohio republicans will again wage a battle for the soul of the republican party. and it's true. ohio tea partiers were challenging -- establishment republicans up and down the ballot, particularly down the ballot. they made a strategic decision to try to compete for seats on the ohio republican party's central committee. and races like that are low-profile races in any republican primary are often literally the bottom line on the ballot. but whoever gets elected to the central committee, they end up playing a crucial role in determining the direction of the state party. and ohio tea partiers decided that was where they would focus all of their efforts in the primary. they were going to try to take control of what it means to be an ohio republican away from evil republican governor john kasich who they disdain. john kasich loyalists basically control that committee and the tea partiers said they will take it away. so the voting in ohio happened on tuesday, obviously. that was the republican primary in ohio this year and the voting was on tuesday. now the vote

joining me now former democratic governor of ohio and president of the center for american progress action fund ted strickland and "washington post" columnist in eugene robinson. governor strickland, let me start with you first given your familiarity with the buckeye state and the goings on there. meaningfully, how much of an effect do you think a surfeit of tea partys down-balloting in local precincts, how much affect can that have on state governance on hold? >> well, i think eventually it can have a great affect in ohio, at least. the ohio republican party is very divided these days and although speaker boehner is going to win tonight, we know that, it is, i think, telling that even with his -- in his own party from his own congressional district there are members of the tea party that are very unhappy, very energized and, as they focus on these down ballot races -- i'm talking about the central committee members that make up the heart and soul of the republican party -- i think that bodes well for the tea party in ohio in coming elections. and i was going say that the tea party in ohio

ohio. it's been a week since the aclu filed a lawsuit challenging a raft of new measures that will challengeoting issues. here's what the suit claims. that by cutting back early voting opportunities, the ohio legislature and specifically secretary of state john husted are impacting tens of thousands of low-income, elderly and african-american voters. on wednesday you heard candidate for secretary of state nina turner say husted is deliberately cutting voters out of the process. >> the lawsuits have been filed time and time against him because he has been using his policies to suppress the vote. none of this is by happenstance that the aclu is suing him, that the league of women voters is suing him, the naacp and other black churches are suing him. it's not about me. it is about the voters in the state of ohio. >> joining me now, essentially to respond to yesterday's accusation, ohio's republican secretary of state, john husted joins me. nice to see you, sir. >> chuck, nice to be with you. >> well, let me just give you a chance to respond to your opponent's accusation there. >> well, there's

ohio? >> absolutely, joy. we've already started to see evidence of that.n cuyahoga county, for example, about 230,000 voters voted pre-primary. 60% of those voters were absentee ballots. in the absentee ballot opportunities that we've had in 2014, less than that, less than half had come in by last saturday, which was the last day to early vote. we're definitely seeing the impacts of not only the cuts to golden week, but the cuts to mailing out unsolicited absentee ballots of which the jern assembly changed that at the behest of the current secretary of state. they are trying to suppress the vote every chance they get because they don't have better ideas, and it really is wrong for our democracy, joy, because voters need to come out and vote and let their voices be heard, and nobody should stand in the way of that just because they don't believe that they have better ideas. it is wrong. >> obviously the real action takes place in november in terms of these particular laws, although they are in place now. last week the aclu actually filed a lawsuit in federa

i plan to run for election in migrate state of ohio. >> you were the debate partner where you played den, obviously you got a lot of respect from the romney campaign. but will you consider it? i mean, are you going to make that decision decision at some point? >> i have played various other folks on the democratic side. i don't know why they keep coming to me, you know. but and i have enjoyed that playing that role for mitt romney is good. you get to hear what the other side is thinking and doing and saying and sometimes we as republicans and probably democrats do the same thing aren't listening. i think it's important to hear what the other side is saying so that you can better rebut what they are saying and be able to offer an alternative. but, no, i'm planning to stay in the senate, continue to do the best i can message about economic growth. the folks are going to find behind and through the cracks and when you have that kind of a growth republicans in the country to deal with it. >> a.b.? >> senate democrats believe and some republicans are starting to believe that a comprehensiv

but there's no doubt, only 17% of the voters showed up in ohio during the primaries, ed. there's no doubt that every time they change the rules, they are creating an environment of coop fusion. but we have people power at our back, ed, and we've got to encourage people to get out there and lift their voices. they must vote. >> no one encourages more than you, senator. good to have you with us tonight. i appreciate your time so much. that's "the ed show." "politics nation" with reverend al sharpton starts right now. good evening, rev. >> good evening, ed. the gop smear machine. republicans are pounding their ugly assault on hillary clinton to try and cover up their own bankrupt agenda. today, here's what americans actually care about. a new gallup polls show that jobs and unemployment is the top issue. 19% say it's dissatisfaction with government and congress. 17% say it's the economy in general. so what are the republicans doing to help? nothing.

. >> this is the american civil liberties union of ohio just asked the state to suspend executions in the wake of that botched lethal injection. strong words from senator kasich's spokesperson, the governor supports the death penalty and takes his responsibility of implementing it very seriously. a convicted killer was given a lethal injection of a two-drug cocktail and he gasped for air and took 25 minutes to die. joining me now to look at all of this is tonya green of the american civil liberties union. we've been following with great interest your response to this. i want to talk about this case in oklahoma. his lawyer just appeared on air minutes ago. here's what they had to say on this subject. take a listen. >> before any execution can go forward in oklahoma, we have to have full transparency on the process. we need a truly independent investigation into what went wrong on tuesday night, not an investigation conducted by the governor's own people. >> my question is, with fallon demanding 14 days for this investigation, is that enough? >> it can't possibly be enough. the -- and f

in terms of full faith and credit it is very technical. have aates like ohio policy where they will recognize marriages from out-of-state unless the marriage contravenes the public policy of the state. a is that issue whether contravenes the public policy of the state that blends in to the same question of whether there is a right to marry for gay couples in ohio. the reason you're not seeing it litigated is the issues combine. these recognition cases are -- it isigated as whether that public policy of ohio that says there's something so horrible about gay people marrying but there is -- ifing so horrible there is something about it that policy is constitutional. >> what is your opinion on whether judges should be elected or appointed? i live in new york where judges are elected and appointed. we have it both ways new york. we have a family debate about this. my wife who is a very active person in the democratic party very much believes that judges should be elected. , sometimes iigator am on the judge of -- site of judges being appointed. both things are prob
