Former President Bill Clinton rallied Ohio Democrats in a visit to Columbus. He said Republicans have become ideologues who are not governing based on fact. He spoke at an event for Congressman Sherrod Brown. Brown is challenging Republican Senator Mike DeWine. Clinton called on Democrats to reach out to independents and Republicans in the days leading up to the November Seventh election. He said Republicans considered Democrats "a bunch of slugs" who are "running for office on the way to hell." He spoke of Democratic plans for alternative energy and reducing U-S dependence on foreign oil.
