In a country increasingly divided into blue and red states, Ohio is \"purple\" - one of the few states that is not dominated by a single political party. Covering the crucial strategies of both the republicans and democrats as they vie for power in Ohio, authors Paul Sracic and William Binning demonstrate the \"nationalizing\" of Ohio politics. However, contemporary issues specific to Ohio politics are not neglected; coverage of important issues such charter reform in Cuyahoga County and the controversies over the regulation of \"fracking\" is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Binning, \u003c\/strong\u003e Ph.D., has long been active in Ohio politics and government.
