The Enquirer polls voters, and we know how painful that can be

On Sunday, the Enquirer led the front page with a story that tries to get you thinking about who would make a better Ohio First Lady, Rosa Blackwell or Frances Strickland. They even post a worthless web poll asking who would make a better first lady. Two Sundays before the election, I can't think of a dumber story to run. The Enquirer acts as if this "issue" is something you need to consider before voting. It's like something out of the 1950s. What a joke.

Here's what other political stories other big Ohio newspapers had on their front pages:

• Columbus Dispatch: How Dewine is failing to inspire conservatives
• Toledo Blade: Who Ohio chooses as governor could impact the 2008 presidential election
• Akron Beacon Journal: How Ohio and Pennsylvania are diverging on slots
• Cleveland Plain Dealer: How the parties are trying to get out the vote
• Dayton Daily News: Analyst says the Republicans will lose congressional seats in Ohio

Not all of this is award winning political journalism, but nothing sinks to the level of irrrelevance like the Enquirer's first lady story.
