A Plea

We really want the domain “RedStateOhio.com.” Now that Kevin Coughlin “dropped out” of the GOP primary against Josh Mandel, whoever runs it should drop the charade that it was a real blog and not a Coughlin front (site not updated since Coughlin pulled out of race in Nov. 2011) and transfer the domain to us.
