Negative ads. Robo calls. Finger pointing. Divisive politics... How did it come to this? Is that what Ohioans deserve for being a key battleground state? With Ohio once again in the spotlight of an important presidential race, the Ohio Historical Society partnered with No Labels, a Washington-based movement seeking bipartisan political reforms, to host this panel discussion.

Ann Fisher, host and executive producer of WOSU's "All Sides with Ann Fisher", moderates the panel.

Panelists:

Bob Taft, former Governor of Ohio and research associate at the University of Dayton

Senator Charleta B. Tavares, (D) District 15 - Columbus

Tom Suddes, editorial board member of the Cleveland Plain Dealer

Gene Pierce, Columbus-based political consultant

Jonathan Miller, No Labels co-founder and former treasurer for the State of Kentucky
