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 beginning [...]
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, [...]
Attn Democrats: gotchas are not going to cut it this cycle
Just a little bit of advice to Democrats in Ohio: gotcha politics and lame fake scandals are not going to change the political dynamic this cycle. No matter how hard you try to catch Republicans in awkward situations or try to paint Tea Party folks as extremists it will not change the fundamental fact that [...]

Speaking of Lee Fisher and Jennifer Brunner is this the most boring primary evah? I mean this is supposed to be a battle royale for a crucial Senate seat. Democrats fighting for their political lives. Progressives showing their might, etc. This race is pretty important in Ohio and even nationally. [...]
John Kasich: Ohio’s Next Governor
Yes, I just claimed that John Kasich is going to be Ohio’s next governor. This is not meant as hyperbole. I really believe Kasich is going to beat Governor Strickland in November.
This is not based on deep study of the polls or a county-by-county analysis or anything of that sort. It is more of a [...]
Leveraging the power of social media in Ohio campaigns
Interesting article at the Daily Caller: What’s social campaigning got to do with it?
In the 10 states where leading political prognosticators deem the Senate seat a “tossup” (Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsylvania) an analysis of social media tools being employed by the various candidates from [...]
Portman for Senate RV Tour through Northeast Ohio
I have done a few updates from the Portman for Senate RV Tour. But this one is a bit more professional (less shaky flip video style). It does a nice job giving you some of the local flavor that the RV Tour involves but also highlights Portman’s laser focus on jobs and how Washington policies [...]
Meet John Kasich: Devoted to a New Day for Ohio.
I have a longer post brewing on the Ohio governor’s race jumping off the latest polls, etc. but until that is done check out this nice candidate introduction video from team Kasisch:
Ganley switching to take on Betty Sutton?
I had heard this was in the works a few weeks ago, and it has been discussed quite a bit on Twitter, but now we have a link (that makes it credible, right? Yeah, journalism!)
Wealthy car dealer Tom Ganley (R) is dropping out of the open-seat Ohio Senate race and will challenge Rep. Betty Sutton [...]
