Lee Fisher: it’s not my fault!
Lessons in courage from former job czar Lee Fisher. First, he seems to pretned his opponent in the primary doesn’t even exist and then he blames others for Ohio’s problems even as he was the official charged with changing things: Fisher never mentioned Brunner by name, even though she was sitting 20 feet away from [...]
John Kasich: Keeping the Trust
This is really what this election is all about:
Ted Strickland: Mr. Unpopular
Some real smart analyst/blogger recently said that Ted Strickland was in trouble because unemployment was high – and likely to stay that way – the larger political environment was trending against him and he faced a credible opponent who would take advantage of these factors. While I try to remember who that was, please take [...]
Fisher and Brunner: statewide officeholders still unknown
Image by Getty Images via Daylife Being a statewide officeholder is supposed to be an advantage. In elections favorable name recognition is crucial. Having been on the ballot statewide and being in the news more often (you can “make” your own news) is supposed to result in a candidate being more well known which should [...]
Marcy Kaptur looking for an excuse to vote yes?
Roll Call: Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), who is undecided on the health care vote, said she is urging Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to hold a separate vote reaffirming Rep. Bart Stupak’s (D-Mich.) strict language limiting abortion insurance coverage to help clear the way for passage of the reform package Sunday. Nancy Pelosi’s answer? No.
Dear Ohio Represenatatives: a yes vote means losing in November
Ohio Representatives, I suggest you think deep and hard about how you vote on health care “reform” because the numbers are ugly. First, Susan B. Anthony List: OH-01 Steve Driehaus 73% oppose using tax dollars to pay for abortions (61% strongly oppose) 72% oppose taxpayer funding of abortions as part of healthcare reform (62% strongly [...]
Isn’t it about time for Lee Fisher to stand for something?
Image by niq77174 via Flickr I have documented former job czar Lee Fisher’s lack of a spine in the past and now Rob Portman‘s campaign makes the point: As Congress moves closer to passing the Democrats’ job-killing healthcare bill, Portman for Senate Campaign Manager Bob Paduchik called on Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher to make clear [...]
Profiles in Cowardice: Lee Fisher
So what exactly is going on with Lee Fisher and Jennifer Brunner in the Democratic primary for the US Senate seat? The two candidates seem intent on ignoring each other and the party and its interest groups seem to have sworn an oath to avoid talking about the primary (the biggest in this important state [...]
Rob Portman right, Democrats wrong on health care reform
A few days ago I posted on how the Democrats were attacking US Senate Candidate Rob Portman for supposedly supporting the “status-quo” on health care (instead of the health care monstrosity currently being debate in Washington). The ODP rolled out some nonsensical attack quotes that missed the whole point. Portman has been saying since the [...]
Seth Bringman & ODP fail reading comprehension and logic
This story from DDN is revealing in so many ways: On a day that brought President Barack Obama to Ohio to make a final appeal for congressional approval of his health care overhaul plan, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rob Portman had a different message. “I pray that it will not pass,” Portman said on Monday, [...]
